"That makes me very happy.," he said. He trained with Makushita and under from his heya and won all 9 bouts. "Today I was conscious of moving forward. My body is moving well. I am a bit frustrated from last basho (lost his last three bouts, but still managed 11 wins) but i was able to go the distance without injury and I guess that's good.. I am aiming for kachikoshi!" he added.<br><div><br></div><div><p>Ura got a lot of chocolate for Valentine's day. 50 bars or more. The most he ever got. "I love sweets but I fear I won't be able to eat all of that," he said. He got a lot of letters with the chocolate from fans showing their love. "That makes me very happy. Last basho I was 7-8 but I'm happy because that was way over my real abilities.. I will be gambarizing as per usual" he added humbly.</p><p>Tokushouryuu is back in the paid ranks after dropping to Makushita last basho after 11 years as a sekitori. He was seen lending his chest to the lower rankers, back in his white mawashi. "It was a struggle. My Oyakata told me not to give up and to bounce right back, which I did. I did have thoughts of retiring, but I'm glad it turned out this way. I will take the bouts a day at a time and give it my all. I just want to have fun," he said.</p></div>
