Tochinoshin's promotion to ozeki comes with many perks. Most are connected to his life as an active wrestler, such as a boost in salary and parking privileges.
One that kicks in after retirement, though, is an automatic three-year grace period before he has to acquire a toshiyori-kabu (elder name share).
Holding that share is a must for any wrestler desiring to stay in the Japan Sumo Association after hanging up his mawashi.
