New stablemaster Tokitsukaze oversees sumo practice
TOKYO, Japan - The new Tokitsukaze (2nd L), who inherited the Tokitsukaze sumo stable from the disgraced former sumo elder Takitsukaze, oversees the sumo practice of junior wrestlers at his stable in Sumida Ward, Tokyo, on Oct. 11. The new Tokitsukaze, 33, who fought under the sumo name Tokitsuumi in the Makuuchi division, inherited the Tokitsukaze name and took over the stable on Oct. 9, after the former Tokitsukaze was fired by the Japan Sumo Association over the suspected hazing death in June of Tokitaizan, a 17-year-old wrestler in the stable.
