   Back Design:  The rikishi's shikona is in bold in the middle of the menko inside a drawing of what appears to be the board that holds the banzuke that hangs up outside the kokugikan.  Height and weight are on the right and left of this.  A Gu-Choki-Pa mark appears in the upper left corner.  Various other kanji appear in the upper right of the menko and in the base of the board.  Backs are printed in a blue ink.
