Shikona

["Allanson, Stephen" <sallanson@accessline.com>]

     Well Ive been quiet around these parts for a while, but this shikona 
     think is kind of interesting.  I guess I can explain mine easy enough.
     
     It is Musashidozan.
     
     I was developed from Musashimaru and Kyokudozan.  I like both of these 
     guys.
     
     Musashimaru looks like an ideal rikishi.  He has no neck and what 
     appears to be the perfect sumo body.  He also looks like a friendly 
     sort of fellow.
     
     Kyokudozan is a real nice person.  I met him at the Yasukuni Jinja a 
     few years ago and he was amazed that a big foreigner was not afraid to 
     speak Japanese with hime and we had a long nice talk about sumo and 
     other things.  Sorry to see him gone.  But, I'll keep the shikona.
     
     I also thought about retiring this shikona for awhile, but after 3 
     consecutive kachi-koshi I'll keep it for a while.
