Vacile:

Thank you very much for your live(?) coverage of the tornament.
That is one of the tornaments each TV network be sponsers.

The one lost "moto-yui" or "mottoi" (the paper string holding
their hair) was Tochinishiki, later became Kasugano Rijicho.
He was the one responsible for building current Kokugi-kan.

And the opponent of Takanohana-I at the memorable match
was Kitonofuji, later became Kokonoe Oyakata for Chiyonofuji
and Hokutoumi. He is today's Jimmaku Riji.
