YDC Chairman Koumura said this about Takakeishou's Yokozuna aspirations:
"As we know the criteria is back to back yushos or the equivalent by an
Ozeki, but looking at Takakeishou, it seems he fits the criteria. I asked
the Kyokai to relate to this. They answered that he indeed fits the
criteria an if he gets a yusho with a good result next basho, and from that
answer I gather that there will be no reason to disregard that.." In the
past, Kisenosato was promoted even if he didn't have 2 consecutive yushos
prior to his promotion but did really well the year before with a yusho and
4 jun-yushos. Takakeishou, OTOH, is not stable and had one mid-basho kyujo
and 3 single digit kachikoshis this year, not something to write home
about. A zensho may make it possible, says the reporter. The Chairman will
be leaving his job in January after a ten year term and his successor will
be Mr. Yamauchi Masayuki <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11466420>.
