Add me to the Musoyama fan club, but let's not forget Musashimaru.  I 
know he's not the young bull Muso is (nickname?), but with a little more 
consistency he will crush Futagoyama like a grape.

Two Musashimaru tidbits:

When I went to Kagoshima last year during the March basho, everyone was 
rooting for Kyokudozan, Kirishima (and there might have been one more guy 
from Kagoshima - help?) -- and Musashimaru.  Why?  Because he's Saigo 
Takamori sokkuri.

I have a friend here from Hawaii (who went to Konishiki's high school) 
who gave me this one:  A few friends of hers met Musashimaru in a bar, 
and went up to him and asked him to autograph a dollar bill.  He took it.

But he still kicks butt.
