Yokozuna Takanohana is the son
of Ozeki Takanohana, a famous rikishi back in the 70's and the current
Futagoyama Oyakata. He is also Yokozuna Wakanohana's younger brother,
making them the only pair of Yokozuna that are brothers in Sumo
history. Yokozuna Takanohana was a dominant Yokozuna in the early
and mid 90's, but, he has been suffering from illness for quite
a while now, and he is finding it hard to get back into previous
shape.
