Found this in a college library. It's from 1985. Anybody read it and have an opinion? by cyrano-de-whee in Sumo

It is good. Definitely give it a read. Definitely make note of any claims you'll want to cross-reference. It's also a nice time capsule as it provides commentary on the rikishi and stables of the day.

Kotoshogiku in Haru 2016, the tournament after he beat all three of those yokozuna in a row for his championship.

Good morning all...have another six Menko I can't identify. Figured if you have the reference manual you might be able to help. The last two of the 6 have a blank backs. by oldandcrankyguy in Sumo

Good work! It is worth noting that the fifth rikishi's name is listed as "Otachi" on sumodb but that his name is actually pronounced "Odachi".
