The Japan Sumo Association held an extraordinary board meeting at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo on the 22nd and violated the guidelines for new corona virus countermeasures created by the Japan Sumo Association, such as entering and leaving the store. Mahjong during the first sumo fight. In January, after discussing the teacher’s disposition (47 = ex Tokitsuumi Masahiro), he decided to discipline the recommendation for retirement.

There are seven disciplinary actions taken by the Japan Sumo Association. In descending order, dismissal, recommendation for retirement, demotion, suspension of activity (suspension of association in associative business), suspension of participation, reduction of remuneration and fault. Regarding the provision of the same teacher as a “retirement recommendation”, the Shibatayama Public Relations Manager (former Yokozuna Ohnokuni) said: “Unlike the (top) dismissal, the next heavy provision. The retirement recommendation is a sumo wrestler. It corresponds to, and is the same, “he explained that it is indeed the second heaviest waste. The retirement notice submitted by the same parent will be accepted and the unpaid retirement allowance for dismissal will be paid with a reduction of 30%. Furthermore, it was decided that the Tokitsukaze Elder Stable (formerly Tosayutaka Yutaka) will inherit the room from the Tokitsukaze Elder Stable.

After the case came to light, President Hakkaku (former Yokozuna Hokutoumi) tasked the Association’s Compliance Committee with investigating the facts and reporting disposition opinions. According to the committee’s report, since December 25 last year, on the condition that it is forbidden to go out in principle, the teacher will stay at the Mahjong shop in Akasaka, Tokyo for 5 days starting on the 18th first in January. of the new year. I walked in and out of the sex shop in Shinbashi on the 20th, and the massage parlor in Akasaka for two days starting on the 23rd.

In the summer of last year, the Tokizu-style teacher traveled to Miyagi prefecture with a friend and participated in a golf competition. He violated the guidelines and was demoted to second rank from “committee” to “elder” at the board meeting in October. After that, he became ill and was hospitalized, but in November, after being discharged, President Hakkaku warned him that if he repeatedly violated the same situation, he would be punished more severely. However, he said he was worthy of harsh criticism because he did not see the attitude of remorse and his teacher conscience.

There was no infection in the teacher itself or in the room, and even if circumstances like keeping the room for about 13 years and sending a reflection withdrawal notice are “highest consideration,” “selfish behavior is serious. In such a situation “tramples on the thoughts of all the people involved in the Sumo Association who took the place in January forcefully, and the Tokizu-style master doesn’t even realize that he is a member of the Sumo Association, let alone as a master. . It is difficult to say that it is reasonable to continue to keep the same teacher enrolled in the Sumo Association, and he will be disciplined for receiving retirement advice under the association’s reward and punishment provisions. I judged it appropriate. “

The Tokizu-style teacher also appeared on the board of directors, and President Hakkaku issued the resolution. He gave the opportunity to say, “Is there anything I can say?” But according to Shibatayama, the director of public relations, he said, “I’m sorry for the inconvenience.” That is said. He said, “Please don’t bother to take over” and “Be careful because even if you become an ordinary person, you will be seen with strict eyes.”
