If there is good reason, the Sumo Kyokai has the right to strip Toshiyori-kabu from the owner. One such case was Yokozuna Wajima (Hanakago Oyakata). He was forced to resign as oyakata, and he then became a professional wrestler for a western style wrestling organization. In debt to moneylenders of questionable activity, he used his Sumo stock as collateral for a loan that was called in. The Kyokai bought back the kabu from the outsiders, and Wajima found himself disgraced.
I was brushing up on my sumo-lingo when I came across this. Does anybody know if this is THE Yokozuna from the "WWF Wrestlemania body-slammed by a coked-up Hulk Hogan" era?
just curious
