RE: [sumo] Hakuho Question

["masumi" <abe@accesscom.com>]

Hakuho's "Ho" means a mythological huge phoenix bird in both cases and the
same character in the Kyokutenho's shikona as well as Roho's.

Active Hakuho's "haku" is color white, whereas Hakuho Era's "Haku" is a
specy of trees and its kanji character has a tree radical on the left hand
side of the character and the letter white on its right hand side. So the
only difference is the tree radical.

As Doitsuyama pointed out, Hakuho Era's "Haku" is pronounced as "Kashiwa" in
its original Japanese reading while Maegashira Hakuho's "Haku" is prounced
as "Shiro" in its original Japanese reading.

Hi all!

My question is regarding the Kanji characters used for the Hakuho era
(when Taiho and Kashiwado were the Yokozuna) and whether or not they
are the same as used by the current Hakuho from Mongolia. Does anyone
know?

If you can give 110% you weren't really giving 100% to begin with
