I've been watching/following sumo for over ten years.

Today, my favorite rikishi Musashimaru announced his retirement. It wasn't unexpected but I really feel like his disappearance, along with that of many others recently (Akinoshima, Takanohana, Terao, etc.) has made me feel the passage of time. I feel old.

Still, I like to watch some of the new stars -- Asashoryu, Chiyotaikai, Takamisakari, and others.

I don't know who my current favorite is now -- I favored Musashimaru since his Makuuchi debut.

If you've read this far there's a good chance that you like sumo too.

Who are your favorites? Who do you think will be the next Yokozuna? Will we ever see a resurgence of Miyabiyama or Dejima?

I'm curious to see if anyone responds to this thread...
