lel I never heard Takayasu called that. It sounds a bit too much like the Spanish word “payaso” (clown). But you know, even if he doesn’t get a title it’s still pretty amazing just to be in Makuuchi.
I had to do some work real late tonight and I just saw Ura’s match live! I’m gonna pay for it tomorrow alertnesswise but it was worth it.
wikipedia says the nickname came around after his daughter was born in 2021, but to me he always kinda seemed like a papa bear anyway-- maybe just from being hairy :D

Ura’s flip into Ichiyamamoto is the highlight of the tournament so far. We’ll have to see if anything beats it.
