With 10 days until the next Banzuke announcement, the Japan Sumo Association announced another wrestler decided to retire today-Daishoho is calling it a career. Daishoho, from Oitekaze Beya, real name Chimidregzen Shijirbayar from Mongolia, is leaving after just short of 13 years in pro sumo with a career record of 417-433-2 (win-loss-absent), 53-82 in the top tier, one Jonidan Championship and a career high rank of Maegashira 9. Because the 2 absent were due to coronavirus protocols during the pandemic, they were expunged and he is credited with perfect attendance in his career (this applied to many wrestlers with such absent days, including most notably Tamawashi, which kept his Iron Man streak intact). He went 3-4 in January at Sandanme 5 which meant a demotion and, due to the timing of retirement, he will appear on the March Banzuke but it will not count on his record and he will be perhaps announced as a pre-tournament withdrawal. He qualified for elder stock but the reports I read on Nikkan Sports & Hochi Sports as well as the JSA announcement made no mention of it so he probably is leaving the Association or will not become a coach.
