Just read his wiki article. It was downhill as soon as he was promoted. The sumo authorities just don't seem to have learnt from this affair about promoting someone before they're ready or deserve it.

Had forgotten about this guy completely. I was not yet in Japan but the news of his retirement was carried Stateside and my friends and I had a good laugh, as in "Who?" and "What sport?" Little did I know I would be headed here in the coming years and grow to love sumo. RIP.
