Kaio-sama,
I wanted to write to wish you a Happy Birthday! I hope that your next year will be peaceful as well as successful. I learned to appreciate your sumo when I lived in Japan. I miss being able to watch sumo, but I keep up with everything on the internet. I hope that you continue to add to your wins this basho. Gambatte!

Dear Kaio-zeki

Happy Birthday from all your fans all-around the world :-)

Best wishes, Alexandre Pecking (France)

Hi,
I present all my best wishes and wish an excellent birthday to the ozeki Kaio.
That he continues to please his fans and to have pleasure to rise on the dohyo.
But he also has to think of his health and not to take useless risks.
I wish Kaio also a beautiful victory against Wakanosato to celebrate his(her,its) 36 years of a beautiful way with a kachi koshi.
Finally, I wish all the rikishi of the tomozuna beya a excellent end of Nagoya basho.

All the best for all !

I've always been a fan of Kaio, but through the English website I've come to know the younger heya members as well. It adds another
dimension in watching sumo to follow the younger guys' development, and I cheer for them every time. The one I've been watching closest is
Kainokura, and I would like to congratulate him very much on his KK in Nagoya. I hope he will work hard and manage another KK in Aki basho.
Please continue to do your best, and know that you have a fan in Norway who will be cheering for you. ^_^

Greetings:

Ozeki Kaio appears to have his back under better control this basho.
At 5-3 he will certainly have his kachi- koshi in a few days, and he looks able to use his back much better than in the previous two Bashos.

I was wondering if there was anything new he was doing that he might care to share with his fellow chronic back patients around the world? Naturally, it is understood that what is working for Ozeki Kaio may only work for him. If he shares any information, he does so in answer to a question and not as a suggestion for anyone else who is suffering with a bad back.

Again and as always, fans around the world appreciate Tomozuna-Beya stepping out and making this unique communication with the Rikishi available. Thank you so very much for the effort it takes to make it the success it is!

Best Regards,

GAMBARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ITIRO SUGANO
FROM BRAZIL

Today's matches have been announced!
So good luck to Kainokura, Kainohama, Kaisenryu, Kaisei & of course Kaio who has to fight every day!!!
I'm waiting to see a win by all of you on Shonichi! Good Luck!!!
To Kaisei: I really love your new Hakata Obi!
Love, Viki in Saitama

We are happy that have visitors from overseas came to watch our morning keiko in the recent years!
But … we are sad that sometimes, misconception arises … We put our rules for “Keiko Kengaku” here

Please read it and we hope you enjoy your time to watch our morning practice!
 

Rikishi have some privileges depending on their ranks.

Rikishi who were promoted to Makushita can wear a Hakata-Obi (Obi made in Hakata in a traditional way / Obi = a sort of “belt” for Kimono”). Kaisei got his Hakata obi

Dear Kaishoryu-san,

Happy birthday and all the best for you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY....

Good luck everybody. I hope you all hit your personal goals this Basho.

And many congrats to Ozeki Kaio for exceeding 900 career wins. Mightily impressive by any measure! I look forward to seeing him exceed 1000!! Can he do it? Of course he can, he's SuperKaio!!!

Oh yes, and i hope Oyakata had a happy birthday too. Hope he did'nt try to use that cake down at the betting shop though! There seems to be lots of birthdays there. Maybe that's why you're all so big, it's all the cake and beers! I'm only joking. I of course know that it's all the CHANKO and beers!!

It's sad that Yobidashi Yusuke left also, but i guess Sumo world is'nt for everyone. I'm sure that he will take something good from his time in Sumo with him though.

Best wishes
Christian from UK.
