2016 Dec 22 OS Oitekaze-beya leaves Isegahama-ichimon and moves to Tokitsukaze-ichimon. The leaving is (according to insiders) blamed on differences within the ichimon. A historical connection between Oitekaze (former Daishoyama) and Futabyama (founder of Tokitsukaze-ichimon) is the reason for going there. Both hailed from Tatsunami-beya, which is ironically not part of any of the two ichimon but part of Takanohana-group today. It is explicitely stated that Kasugayama (former Hamanishiki) isn't part of this move, making him effectifely a pariah oyakata.
2016 Dec 13 HC Takashima (former Koboyama) moves from Oitekaze-beya to Miyagino-beya, probably a result of him being unhappy with the forced move to Oitekaze some weeks ago.
