Article Title

Shouldn't this article have Sentoryu's full name just like any other sumo article? XinJeisan 23:55, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, probably. The same is true of Kotomitsuki. But in Sentoryu's case, maybe there's a case for calling the article Henry Armstrong Miller, as I believe that's what he uses now he's an MMA fighter: "Sentoryu" is just a nickname now. The article on Futahaguro is titled Koji Kitao, for example. Pawnkingthree 09:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, it's logical to change to the name he is using now if he is still active in something else. And I see Sentoryu redirects here, so no sweat. Sentoryu may just "be a nickname" now, but that is true of all former rikishi, especially ones that become oyakata and get a new name (which is almost never used strangely enough).

No more Americans

An anon IP deleted this line without explanation: "There have been no Americans in professional sumo since Sentoryu." Who has there been then? Pawnkingthree (talk) 09:10, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess they meant Daishoyu, aka Marvin Sano, who joined sumo in January 2006 and retired in September 2008. He was only half-American though, and was born in Tokyo. --Pawnkingthree (talk) 23:16, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
