Ozeki Kotozakura,  who will be facing his second kadoban basho in Nagoya,
served as a one-day police chief at a commercial facility in Nishi Ward,
Nagoya City on the 9th. He proudly displayed a salute while wearing a
kimono. He called for traffic safety by raising objections to things like
riding a bicycle (which he himself sometimes does)  with an umbrella while
holding it and failing to stop at stop signs, and said, "I want everyone to
be careful when using bicycles in order to reduce accidents. It was a good
experience." He withdrew from the last basho due to injury, and he
expressed his determination, saying, "I will aim to win the yusho and
continue to work hard to aim for a higher rank."
