	The Badger Herald - Point-Counterpoint: Worst 5-man dodgeball team
		My strategy for building the world’s worst dodgeball squad is centered around a simple, timeless philosophy: bigger is better because as a general rule bigger and agile usually don’t go together.
		The leader of my team would certainly be Konishiki Yasokichi, who at 6’1” and 600 plus pounds is an easy target even for Schmoldt’s Zippy Chippy.
		Konishiki would not be much of an offensive force as he is something of a pacifist sumo.

		Masuiyama also seems to be such a shikona so although the numbers 1 and 2 often occur after the last two users to distinguish them, both being Ozeki and all, there is also a numbering which puts them as users 5 and 6 respectively of that shikona.
		I suspect there are others (maybe for example the shikona Konishiki Yasokichi which to date has had two users).
		I agree though that there are hardly any rules at all written down about this, but some shikonas are definitely officially restricted from the side of the Kyokai when it comes to usages outside of sumo (as seen with for example Konishiki).
