wonder what his plans are if he went to the trouble of getting citizenship but doesn't want to stay in sumo

My Google-Fu is weak but early on in his career he said the thing he liked most about Japan is you don't have to look out for wolves. Most Mongolian rikishi hail from Ulaanbaatar, but Ichinojo grew up out on the plains.

I could 100% see the appeal of living in Japan with lots of cash on hand.

Yeah, this early in his career he absolutely needs to be looking out for his long term health.

Unless they're just talking out their collective asses Sumo: The Next Generation Hakuho/Miyagino Kisenosato/Nishonoseki Terunofuji/Isegahama???? have all mentioned how they're rethinking rikishi health/recovery. You'd have to think even more so for Hakuho seeing as how his earlier 2 proteges have turned to dust, and he's at least walking the walk off the bat here. Luckily the Chosen One can miss a basho or three without losing his salary.

I feel like Terunofuji has to be the chosen successor here. He's got to be retiring soon and I haven't heard about him acquiring any other kabu, and I assume he intends to stay in the JSA since he got his Japanese citizenship. If he's going to get Isegahama he won't need to get elder stock for the interim period if he retires soon, because Isegahama-oyakata is 63 and Terunofuji's got the five year yokozuna grace period before he has to find a real kabu.

It's all but a certain (Unless Isegahama has a daughter for Shimanoumi to marry as well) which is why I put some faith in the rumors that Teru is gonna try to Hakuho it in November then bow out. He gets to spend a year in a blue jacket coaching before a peaceful transfer of power.

Tracks after he's been seen out and about with a blood sugar monitor for a while now. Between Terutsuyoshi and now Teru there's something up with how Isegahama is handling medical care and diet.

Khizan posted:

I'm skeptical of Chris Sumo's takes on a lot of things, but his take on this was that this came down because all the recent prodigies have gone to the stables like Miyagino(Kiho and Hakuoho) and Nishonoseki(Onosato), and that the grumpy old men of sumo made this change so that younger and more modern oyakata like Hakuho and Kisenosato aren't as able to recruit a promising candidate and have them immediately body their way into juryo within a year.

This one actually feels reasonably likely to me, honestly.

It's not THAT extreme a change, they can still make it to Juryo in just three basho at a Hokuoho/Onosato level. Rusty Asanoyama, Recovering Terunofuji, and Ura Ura all did on their returns. My dart throw/guess is they want guys inside the sumo world and all that entails longer before they get the rights and financial freedom of making Juryo.

John Gunning ageees, and goes more into the changes including adding some 4th division fast-passes.
