Miyagino stablemaster ¡ª former yokozuna Hakuho ¡ª announced on Monday that his topknot-cutting and retirement ceremony will take place on Jan. 28 at Tokyo¡¯s Ryogoku Kokugikan.
The legendary figure spoke haltingly and with long pauses during a 20-minute online news conference that was short on details about his upcoming event.
That lack of specifics was the most noticeable aspect of a Zoom call in which the 45-time Emperor¡¯s Cup winner repeatedly declined to offer extra information when asked about what kind of activities might be part of the day¡¯s proceedings, saying only that ¡°details will be released one by one¡± over the intervening period.
