After more than 10 years,  the party will be held in our heya… Among the current members, only Kaio was around then...  We will have the best party we can. 

We are looking forward to meeting many of you!

Now, the comments from the Wakaishu….!!

<Kaishoryu>

* About Kyushu-basho:

I had always managed to get Kachikoshi in Kyushu, but I couldn’t get one this year as I lost four straight bouts …

The last three straight wins encouraged me to move on to Hatsubasho!  

* About this year:

I was injured in Hatsubasho, which made it a difficult year for me.  I will try to get the best winning score among our rikishi next year!

<Kainohama>

* About this year:

It was so regrettable that I couldn’t fight in Kyushu at my highest rank.  Now, I am doing rehabilitation so that I can get back on the dohyo as soon as possible.  

Then, I will try to reach my highest rank again as soon as possible!!

<Kainowaka>

* About Kyushu-basho:

I, again, got makekoshi….  Shame on me!!!  I will try my best to accumulate many ☆！next year!!

* About this year:

My record was not so good throughout this year.  I want to get Kachikoshi in all 6 basho!

Thank you for your support!

<Kaishinho>

* About Kyushu-basho:

I got Kachikoshi 4-3, again!  I got Kachikoshi for two straight basho at my highest rank.  I will try my best to get Kachikoshi continuously next year.

* About this year

It was a fruitful year for me. I will do more training and more keiko, and I want to turn 2008 into a great year for me.

<Kaisei>

* About Kyushu-basho:

I went Makekoshi with 3-4.  I will do more training and more keiko, and I want to get Kachikoshi next basho.

* About this year:

I climbed up the ranks smoothly in the first half, but Sandamme was a huge wall to climb.  I aim to move up to Makushita next year!

<Kaisenryu>

* About this year:

I got Kachikoshi in only  two basho….  I will get Kachikoshi in at least three basho next year.

<Kainomiya>

* About this year:

In March, I made “Ichiban-shusse”, and it was a good start.  However, from May, my record ended with 14 wins 14 losses…. I was not satisfied with my record.  I will try my best to get more wins and less losses.

* Hope for the new year

I will make a new keiko regimen.  I want to build up my body  so that I won’t get injured. I want to aim for 5 or 6 wins in each basho.

<Kainofuji>

* About Kyushu basho:

I first got two straight wins, so I thought I would be able to get Kachikoshi,.but, I lost the next five straight bouts ….

I regret that I was too easy -going…  I will try my best to get Kachikoshi next basho.

* About this year:

Since I became a rikishi in March, I have had kachikoshi for only one basho.  I want to get Kachikoshi at least in three basho in the new year.

<Kainokura>

* About Kyushu-basho

I did good keiko before the basho and I did move smoothly in keiko, but  I couldn’t move enough on the dohyo in hon-basho… I want to get used to fighting in hon-basho, and I want to expose my full energy  during the basho.

* About this year:

I was injured a lot… so I want to build my body up and stay healthy.

<Kainoryu>

* About Kyushu-basho:

I thought I would be able to get a good result before the basho, but I lost my self confidence whenever I did keiko with Anideshi…therefore, I went Makekoshi in the end….  I lost three straight bouts from Shonichi, but then I won two straight … then, I thought I might be able to….  Then, I went makekoshi…  I think it was my weak point, so I want to strengthen myself mentally .

* About this year:

I got Kachikoshi in only one basho…  I will do keiko much more than the other members who joined this year and will aim to reach the best rank among them.  I want to be more responsible in my daily life – chanko…and cleaning…

We, Tomozuna-beya demanded Nikkan-Sports – a Sports-Newspaper – apologize and explain regarding their articles about the “Retirement of Kaio” in the last three days.  However, unfortunately, we did not receive any proper comments from them.

The articles were absolutely not true.  There won’t be a Kaio retirement now or before Hatsubasho.

Tomozuna-beya told Nikkan-Sports  that we won’t accept any interview from them for at least 6 months from now.  They accepted our demand.

We apologize to all our supporters who were worried needlessly about this issue.  We appreciate your continued support as we try our best – Kaio as well.
