RE: [sumo] name that rikishi

Looking at the script (actually squinting at it), I tend to agree.
There is writing at the bottom of the card which when read from right
to left appears to be:

(** rikishi) yokozuna hitachiyama

But will readily admit that like canals on mars, my eyes might be
seeing what they want to see instead of what is actually written
there.
