Former Chiyonoshin Hospitalized After Stroke

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.
