I am in the way to read this book.  I think this book is belieavable, too.
I remember Kotozakura's hoshitori after his promotion to yokozuna.  He won
2 consecutive basho in 14-1.  He suddenly got such a good hoshitori, and 
I was surprised that I thought he retires so soon.

He returned weak rikishi after promotion to yokozuna.  Former Onaruto says
why he returned.   This is one of examples when and how yaocho occures.

I want to see "gachinko(serious)" sumo.
