Heh. I just looked and it appears to be a private FB page - I would have to send him a friend request, and not sure I'll do that. His
Twitter page is another option. Alternatively it may be better to just change the article to "grew up in Texas" until an RS proving it one way or the other turns up.--

Hanakaze is largely finished. I did check thoroughly the veracity of his longest career ever, it took time and a huge excel sheet but he is the longest by a few years. Just need to source it, mostly from sumo reference. I found nothing about his younger years on my own in any language, and apparently

I would LOVE to have a
Hanakaze article. He's the longest serving rikishi EVER. And the only one older than me. :) When he passed longest serving mark, I wanted to make the article, but I just didn't have the time or perhaps even more the inclination I used to. I can absolutely dig up a pic for it; I

Houston. Looking around online, I find no RS that gives this information, and though I did find one discussion board post that stated definitively that he was born in Japan, it was just the proverbial 'something I found on the internet'. This has BLP implications, and more trivially, affects in

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you?
645:
Yeah, I get all that, but the post I saw said he was born in Japan then taken to Texas in infancy (though, again, it was just from some guy on the internet). We know he grew up in Texas, and we know he is listed with hometown of
Nagasaki, but if we are going to definitively state his birthplace we

I have never seen any source say that he was not born in Texas. All indications are that he was born there and listed
Nagasaki as his shussin because of his Japanese nationality and to not take up a foreigner spot in his stable. I get that "from Texas" doesn't definitively mean "born in Texas" but

There are currently 4 used colors in those tables: retirement, lower division, 2nd place, and winner. I suggest adding another one for the best rank up to that point, since for rikishi with long careers it is useful to see how long ago did that person was at his best, especially when that person

Texas. I think changing his page is in order unless a definitive statement turns up, but (and this is getting into the
Knowledge (XXG) weeds a little bit) we would still need to list him as either US-born or 'Japanese-born of mixed parentage' on the List of non-Japanese sumo wrestlers page.
798:. An unprecedented slew of special prizes for rikishi without articles. I'll start Tomokaze tomorrow once I'm through doing some updates on my "WP day job" which is horse-racing. Somewhat ironically, I have been working on an article about a British-bred racehorse name

due to being undersourced. I'll work on it but if anyone can add some secondary sources (there must be some
Japanese press coverage) that would be a great help. He has a good chance of making makuuchi after this tournament so notability is not a problem.--
646:
really should have a source that says so directly rather than us trying to deduce it from hints and whispers - I would try dropping him a quick question on his
Facebook page, but that would require me to sign up for Facebook, which is not going to happen.
356:
take one every time I see him. I see he has a ja wiki article. I often source my rikishi article from the
Japanese sources. Actually, I feel like I should make the time for him. I will try to put up an article TOMORROW! Let me have this one if I may!
124:
So I put up an Abi article, surprised no one beat me to it with all the attention around him. Take a look when you have minutes. If we follow the original criteria (which I might repost) the next best candidate with his juryo championship.
386:
the person who made his jawiki articles didn't either. I was amazed to discover I couldn't find a pic of him. I think I have been to quick to delete recently. I even found one of
Hokutoryu but not him. I will get one in September.
406:
I held off because I had no picture, and because sourcing is my least favorite wiki chore - but I just remembered him and figured I would get his article up and worry about the picture this coming September. Here he is, enjoy

so I'm going to be going over those articles very soon and adding in what I've found to help enhance them. I've already updated the gyōji article with what I've found. So those are my main sumo projects right now.

I just asked the man himself. He said he was born in Houston. I figured there was a chance he was born in Nagasaki because Japanese women often go “home” to give birth, but this is not the case with Ichiro.

article in sandbox as he is the highest ranked rikishi without an article. He only has 2 kk but he is likely to be in makuuchi for a while and is a 2 time juryo champion. Should be up by Monday.

I would love to help. I enjoy Sumo. I know they have articles in the Japanese Knowledge (XXG) on these topics as well. Haven't checked out your draft, you may be using that as a template.
307:),I wonder if there is room for Hanakaze Daisaku, who has, I believe set a couple of longevity records (longest career, most basho). He is 48 now so it should not take too much updating.

The English language sources I found were blogs and forums (very well-informed admittedly). He might get a write-up on an RS site when he retires, which can't be too far away.

The above entry does make me think that at some point we will need a separate article about the whole Harumafuji-Takanoiwa business. I was wondering what the title should be.
