He is ranked now at Maegashira 2, his highest rank. "I have no idea where I will get my wins from, but I'll do my best.. I'm not looking at the banzuke..Where am I ranked? I've been sending out the banzukes but didn't have time to check it out yet. Going up the banzuke has a lot of luck involved, so I don't really think too seriously about it. It feels like I've slipped into a place of constant change. I'm wondering if this new year will be a year of decline for me. A man can't keep going up forever. What goes up must come down. I will be 30 soon, but I don't have the need to look back to the past and compare. I believe there is still room for growth when you hit 30. I feel stronger now than I was when I was quickly coming up the ranks the first time. I used to try to live up to the expectations of people around me - now I am able to concentrate on what I have to do," he said. The end of the year is when a lot of house cleaning is done. (Remember him saying he's a minimalist and has 4 shirts ?) "I got it done in a jiffy. I cleaned and scrubbed and it was done. I know of people who need a whole day to clean, so in that sense I feel I'm taking advantage of the time I save," he summed.<br>
