		Along with this success, however, came fierce media scrutiny that unwelcomingly documented a public rift between his two sons and the divorce from his wife and kamisan of the Futgoyama-beya in 2001.
		Futagoyama's health began to deteriorate after the Aki 2003 basho and led to his being kyujo from each subsequent basho.
		Despite the rapid decline of his health, in January of this year, Futagoyama-oyakata displayed considerable mental toughness as he rose from his hospital bed to make an appearance at the danpatsushiki of his apprentice Takanonami where he snipped at the former Ozeki's oi-cho to a considerable buzz from the crowd.

		Futagoyama gave away his very dear Fujishima-kabu to Dewanoumi ichimon in exchange for the Sendagawa-kabu (that had already been promised to Musoyama).
		It was a no-brainer that Futagoyama had given all three certificates to a trustworthy person before going to hospital.
		Another yellow press answer to the whereabouts of the kabu was that late Futagoyama had left all assets to a woman who was caring about him in his last months.

	Japan Today - Shukan Post Watcher - Stablemaster's ex-wife tells all about Futagoyama stable
		The Futagoyama stable is one of the most competitive in sumo, having produced two yokozunas (grand champions), Wakanohana and Takanohana.
		Indeed, the Futagoyama stablemaster, Fujishima, and his wife, manager Noriko Fujita, are the two former yokozunas' parents, although when Takanohana graduated from junior high school, the family virtually ended the parent-child relationship to train their children as sumo wrestlers along with others.
		Futagoyama is my ex-husband Fujishima's brother, so I suppose he could not say no. Even after the merger, we did not change the mail box name.

	Death of Futagoyama Oyakata: the Prince of Sumo leaves us!
		Known as Futagoyama Oyakata, but even better known as Takanohana I, he is the legendary Ozeki who gave back to sumo its true nobility and popularity in the 1970's, moving an entire country to passionately support his deeds on the dohyo.
		Equipped with a weak physique, his sumo did not depend in any way on trickery; on the contrary, he had the sumo of a big man, bringing down his opponents with strength and power.
		Futagoyama oyakata's aura, the strictness of his teaching, and his intelligence have made him one of most brilliant oyakata in the history of sumo, producing 30 Yusho, 20 outstanding performance prizes, 23 fighting spirit prizes, 14 technique prizes and 30 kinboshi!

		At the hospital, each insisted that he should be the one to do it and even when former Futagoyama Oyakata Yokozuna Wakanohana I (older brother of Futagoyama oyakata) tried desparately to intervene, Takanohana oyakata became so emotional that it took hours to settle them down.
		When their uncle, Katsuji Hanada, 77, the founder of the Futagoyama Stable, was unable to bear the argument any longer, he stepped in, but their emotions did not die down and it was reportedly difficult to bring the situation under control.
		Futagoyama passed the reigns of control over the Futagoyama Stable to Takanohana in 2004.

		They live very much according to their rank, with the juniors having to share rooms, get up and train earlier, perform all the household chores and eat their traditional sumo meal of chanko-nabe stew after the others have finished.
		The most famous heya is the Futagoyama Beya, home of the illustrious Hanada sumo dynasty.
		There are six divisions (see The Basho for details of the ranking system) - four junior divisions who fight on only 7 of the 15 days of the basho and two upper divisions, whose rikishi earn the name sekitori, receive a salary from the Sumo Association and who fight on each of the 15 days.

		When Fujishima Beya and Futagoyama Beya merged in 1992 (under Fujishima oyakata who changed his name to Futagoyama!), the most powerful heya in Sumo was born.
		Many objected to the merger because the fact that stablemates don't fight each other (except in the case of a final-day play-off) gave the Futagoyama rikishi an unfair advantage.
		But over the years, the private lives of these young princes of sumo became the subject of speculation and scandal and the younger Takanohana seemed to suffer more from the pressure.

		And why is it so disadvantagious for the non-Futagoyama rikishi to face Futagoyama rikishi who are supposed to be not-so strong?

		Retired grand champions Wakanohana and Takanohana stood side-by-side at their father's funeral service on Thursday, but there was little brotherly love between the two former wrestlers.
		The passing of sumo elder Futagoyama has done little to resolve a cold war that exists between his two famous sons, who have long held philosophical differences over Japan's ancient sport and their place in it.
		On Friday, Japan's sports newspapers and afternoon talk shows treated the spat as if it were a political scandal of utmost importance.

		After informing the Japan Sumo Association of Wakanohana's withdrawal Friday, Futagoyama said the scrappy yokozuna will need another two months for the ligaments in his left ankle to heal completely.
		At the Futagoyama stable's training site outside Nagoya, Wakanohana appeared relieved to be sitting out the upcoming tourney, explaining that he will continue training in an effort to be ready for the autumn meet in September.

		One of them is that the start of Takanohana keeping distance from both Wakanohana and Futagoyama Oyakata was when Takanohana's intention to marry to Rie Miyazawa was rejected by Futagoyama Oyakata and his wife or Takanohana's parents.
		Another rumor is that the yusho ketteisen between Wakanohana and Takanohana, in which Wakanohana won, was fixed by Futagoyama Oyakata.
		Although Wakanohana is an overwelmingly popular one between Hanada brothers, according to these rumors, Takanohana is actually the victims of Futagoyama Oyakata's unfair treatment against Takanohana.
