Who were the gyojis to attend 3 yokoduna dohyou-iri? I guess they were 
Inosuke and somebody at sanyaku rank.

I wondered at 2 points as follows;

1. Oyakata sang jinku at an official show (even though NSK hadn't been 
concerned with it directly).
2. The jinku-singer was singing on the dohyou while the retiring 
rikisi was also on there at hair-cutting ceremony.
