THANKS! Takamisakari is my favorite rikishi not for his excellent sumo but the energy he brings before every match. Love to see Takari match win or lose lol

Totally agree! He's not my favorite wrestler per se, but I LOVE the man for being the "character fighter" that he is among all the very serious others. I also love watching the audience participation when he's up on the dohyo. There's a reason why he goes through his pre-bout ritual every time. It's all very personal and quite serious. But there's no denying the entertainment value he brings to the sport and we (Japanese) cheer for him whether he wins or loses!! : )

Takamisakari's highest ranking was Komusubi.

Great, was looking forward to some expanded coverage. Appreciate it, as always! Do you have Sokokurai's or Homasho's match by any chance? Two of my favourite lower ranked rikishi.

Anyway, thanks for always keeping us up to date with sumo!
