Naruto Oyakata has decided that Wakanosato needs a nickname to help him fight better, citing Chiyonofuji - The Wolf, Hokutenyu - The White Bear and Masurao -The White Wolf as good examples. He wasn't so keen on Asahifuji's - The Tsugaru Seaslug though. (Tsugaru is the strait between Hokkaido and Honshu and Asahifuji was very flexible. A slippery customer perhaps?)

The Oyakata rejected "The Aomori Apple" (Wakanosato hails from an apple growing resgion of Aomori) and Wakanosato asked, "Please not The Panda."!

Any ideas?
