Do the Kyokai rules actually say that you can never return once you
leave?  In the US, the money rule trumps almost every other rule.

If Akebono is successful ($$) and popular in K1 and doesn't do anything
too, too anti-sumo, and if in the interim sumo popularity slides, 
can they let Akebono return?  (If American baseball suddenly lost all of
its 'heroes' and needed Pete Rose for some reason, he'd be in the Hall of 
Fame in a flash.)

>From these posts, I understand that there are 105 director shares (the
important shares to be an oyakata).  What about a return to the Kyokai 
at a non-director level (yokozuna promotion committee?) or something
else?
