Vancouver last year.  He was gracious to all I saw hum encounter, unlike one 
other now-retired but very handsome rikishi who did his best to avoid the 
fans. >>

I was in Vancouver, too, and I was very impressed with the kindness and time 
that Takatoriki gave to those of us who were standing near the buses at the 
end of the day's matches.  He stood there, signing autographs, and posing for 
pictures, until the very last moment, before the bus was about to leave.  
Tereo, who is one of my favorites, was not as generous.
