"Unless we believe ex-shimpan-bucho Isegahama, who on NHK said the other day after being asked about a sansho for Hokutofuji, that the shimpan department members all would decide on that. He obviously mixed it up with sanyaku promotion, about which he was asked a bit earlier.\n\n\n\n\t-  or is he leaking inside information as revenge for being ousted from that post?  - which would mean that actually the shimpan-bu creates the list of who may get a sansho and the media people only vote on what is presented to them.\n\n"
