I wonder why he hasn't switched with Takanonami (who owns Otowayama if
I'm not totally wrong)? He is/was more successful, and he has been the
Ozeki... moto-Ozeki reads far better than moto-Sekiwake, doesn't it...?
Really strange thing, especially as I though Yamahibiki would be of
more value than Otowayama... So they haven't decided to drop the lest
prestiguous one...
