Thanks for the well-researched article and the background info on his life in Georgia. Very moving.

Tochi has always been one of my favs. He was injured in 2013 and fell down to Makushita 55 but fought his way back up to Ozeki. Great determination and a huge heart.

I hope he is fully recovered and can work his way back to Ozeki one more time.
