Sumo low division income - Oitekaze Beya

[Achim Pawelczyk <achimp@herten.de>]

The Asahi-shimbun has sumo also between bashos:

Makushita rikishi and below usually get only pocket money, while a real
professional-like income is for the sekitori, juryo and above.
But because of all the different payments to the oyakata for them by the
sumo-kyoakai, in tax terms the rikishi have an individual income.
As a result of the recent tax scandal this income will be calculated and
taxed from now on.

The 52nd sumobeya will be Oitekaze-beya of former Daishoyama.
The sumo-kyokai gave the ok - so far he belongs to Tomozuna-beya.
