Continuing to ride or die with my boy Wakatakakage. Also, being all the way down at M7 means surely Takayasu won't disappoint and net me a solid bag of points? Surely.

I was going to include Ishiura but thats his real name too so under the Shodai rule I crossed him out, which is a shame because that means Stone Beach which is the most Ishiura name possible.

I found that list too but its incomplete and others i had to look for translations of each character via google translate. If someone who is fluent in Japanese can do the banzuke it would rule.

this was a sick idea and lol'd very much at shodai. just shodai. though imo that would have catapulted him into the top spot.

Technically Shodai's name translates too, most Japanese names translate, and it means "Foremost Age".

Also I would've included Tochinoshin but was told it means "Strong Hearted" but it literally means "Heart of a Chestnut Tree" which in Japan is like how in the West we say "as strong as an Oak".

can't wait to add 'heart of a chestnut tree' to my repetoire of sayings so i can sound like a massive pretentious dickhead (moreso). very cool name for tochi though, especially because it was a random youtube video of him recapturing ozeki that got me into the sport.
