# Talk:Yobidashi

I asked on Reddit whether & how costumes correlated with rank, but got no answer.  Now I see in the external link "Interview With a Yobidashi" that they don't, so I'd like to edit that into the article.   HOWEVER, at the starts of the "lower-division highlights" published on YouTube in the "mt fuji" channel, there is always an initial announcement by a senior yobidashi always wearing black.   I'd like to explain this too.  Can anybody point me to a useful reference?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:9200:11A0:3810:3483:355C:6D91 (talk) 14:38, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

@OtharLuin regarding the recent edits on the Tate-Yobidashi, two thoughts:
- If Career and ranking is the best place to mention the long period of vacancy in the role of Tate-Yobidashi, then the article should also mention that there was a slightly longer gap in this role in the 2000s (between Yatsuo and Hideo).
- If the details about the 2019 resignation should remain where it is (Career and ranking) then it probably does not make sense to keep the new Controversy section. JRHorse (talk) 13:56, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

I would argue that the Controversy section is indeed unnecessary, partly because placing a category at this level of the title with only a single mention is rather weak, and partly because, overall, Takuro's resignation is more useful in illustrating that the top ranks of the hierarchy can be vacant for a long period of time. - OtharLuin (talk) 14:52, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
That's fair. The section is removed... I agree concerning your view on Takuro's circumstances, but if there is any reasoning out there behind the other gap that I mentioned, I still believe it would be beneficial to add. JRHorse (talk) 22:54, 3 October 2025 (UTC)
