Yeah, I heard something about a tourney this month, but don't know any
details (being a ways from Tokyo, I don't hear a lot, you see...).  I'll
see if I can dig up some info on it.

As to the makushita rikishi, up here we only get the records of the local
rikishi, so I don't know what's up with them.  Plus I don't really pay
that much attention to makushita.  :-)

Will try to help out as much as I can.
