Some very sad news out of Japan today as Chiyonoshin has been rushed to the hospital after an apparent stroke. As Herouth notes, the former Makushita wrestler out of Kokonoe-beya is the elder brother of Chiyonokuni and had recently played the role of Enya in Sanctuary. He is known to Tachiai playing such a big part in the Sumo + Sushi event that Justin (pictured) and I enjoyed last year. Justin was able to face him on the dohyo. We hope he gets well soon.

Oh no. Hoping for a full recovery.
Hope he makes a full and rapid recovery. I got to see him last November in San Francisco, he was good sport and ambassador as part of Konisan’s Troop.
I believe he’s Chiyonokuni’s older brother
Ah, oops. I’ll get that fixed.
