Returning ex- Ozeki Asanoyama (punished for breaking COVID protocol and
suspended for 6 bashos) trained at his home heya today. He had 24 bouts in
total, going 9-3 against Juryo Asanowaka. "He is steadily moving better
It's been a while (a year.) but he's back for Nagoya, probably from
Sandanme, but I want him to gambarize as it is a come-back.." said his
Oyakata. He has not been receiving preferential treatment this past year,
doing all the heya chores, cooking, cleaning, etc.. like all the other
Makushita and unders. "He's just like the others so it goes without
saying..Those are the heya rules," added the Oyakata. Additionally, he has
been living at the heya in a room with 3 other rikishi ("our Makushita guys
live in the Makushita rooms", explained Takasago Oyakata..).  At the
beginning of his punishment he seemed to be dejected but has gotten over
it gradually . "After about half a year he seemed to be returning to his
old self and has been training seriously. I advised him not to forget his
sumo, even though a year has passed. We have a month till next basho and
I'm sure he will be preparing himself  mentally and physically. If he goes
about it as usual  when he steps on the dohyo on day 1, that would be
good!" summed Takasago Oyakata.
