Ichinojou has retired, citing chronic back pains. This coming off a 14-1
yusho in Juryo and a quick return to Makuuchi. He is handing in the
retiring papers tomorrow and will leave the sumo world altogether, Japanese
citizenship notwithstanding. He was dropped to Juryo after breaking  some
Covid regulation , but there also was a  problem with his Oyakata. A
drinking problem was discussed as well.. In any case, the heaviest sekitori
is  out of sumo.
He did not show up for the weigh-in yesterday, and that got me wondering
what's up, as no injury was reported. He just didn't show up without
permission.
