  "Hokutofuji Danpatsushiki" (30th, Ryogoku Kokugikan). Former Makushita
Wakatakamoto  who retired at the end of Natsu basho, performed his first
duties as a wakaimonogashira . Wearing a sumo Kyokai jacket, he said,
"There are still many things I don't know. I want to do my best while
learning." He is the eldest of the "Onami Brothers Three," whose younger
brothers are Makuuchi Wakamotoharu and Komusubi Wakatakakage. He aimed to
become a sekitori as well like the "Izutsu Brothers Three" Tsurugamine,
Sakahoko, and Teraou, but fell just short. Regarding Wakatakakage who won
the yusho in Natsu, he said, "That was great. I hope both of them will
continue to do their best." Wakaimonogashira is a position mainly
responsible for instructing rikishi below Makushita and assisting in the
operation of the hon-basho. He injured his left knee in March and underwent
surgery to continue his career, but decided to make the career change. With
a cheerful expression, he greeted the Oyakatas and others, saying, "I want
to do my best for the Kyokai." His danpatsushiki is scheduled to take place
after the Nagoya basho in July.
