Chiyotaikai, but a basho or two later than I predicted 
in Moti's earlier poll :)

Toki. No, I'm kidding- but I've been watching sumo
from 1991 for the past few days. Rikishi then who 
looked like they were just a "flash in the pan", like
Takanohana (who was dashing and spectacular, then faded
a bit) make me think that the next real star could be
somebody like Toki or Kaiho, who just need a bit of time
before they make a solid rise. Safer bets would be Takanonami, 
Musashimaru, or the aforementioned Chiyotaikai. I'm hoping
that Kotonishiki can string together a few yusho, though. 
Live in hopes, die in despair :)

The list is pretty quiet, so I just posted it here :)
