[edit] Tate-gyoji resignation

Nashikawa, do you know when the last time a tate-gyoji or fuku-tate-gyoji was suspended or forced to resign after a sashi-chigae against him? I'd be very curious to know. :) Tadanisakari 19:23, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the suspension yes, it happened I think about 6-12 years ago, definately to the fuku-tate gyoji, who made one too many mistaken decisions, also as far as I remember he also failed to get out of the way of the rikishi on one occasion, was bowled over and was unable to decide on the outcome of the match, forcing the shimpan to decide. As I understand it part of the problem also was related to diabetes and not being able to keep his fitness up.

Regarding the resignation, I read that in a sumo book. I cannot remember the date but apparently the gyoji concerned actually tried to argue with the five shimpan during the mono-ii which was the final straw and led to acceptance of his resignation.

Sorry I don't have specific dates, although if I find them I'll add it to this talk page. Nashikawa 23:19, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Found the resignation one. It was in a book called "Grand Sumo" by Lora Sharnoff who stated that the twenty fifth tate gyoji had his resignation accepted in 1972 Nashikawa 23:32, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

The gyoji who suffered the suspension was the 29th Shikimori Inosuke who retired in 2000. I think the suspension may have occured in 1997, and/or possibly in 1999.Nashikawa 23:54, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Interesting! Thanks for the info. Tadanisakari 08:25, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stub Status

This article is already quite long for what is a fairly tightly defined subject. It is difficult for me to see what needs adding to it. Hence I cannot see why it should be marked as a stub. If someone feels there is significant content needed here then lets discuss what is required. Nashikawa 20:45, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
