Hoshitori Results for Hatsu 2008, Day 4Firstly I want to make up for a message I forgot on day 1 over all the things which had to be done for the new website, and it's coming from Maguroyama: "In the view of decreasing results in the Hoshitori game and facing demotion from the rank, ozeki Maguroyama sadly announces his retirement from the game. "I've achieved all I could have hoped to, including 32 straight basho at the rank and 3 almost-consecutive 14-1 records. I have no regrets." says Maguroyama in a comment." Well, Maguroyama certainly was one of the strongest ozeki with 420 wins in 43 career basho. Only six players with more than 24 basho have a higher win average, and five of them became yokozuna.
