The upper ranks have been filled with non-Japanese rikishi for some time now (the only Japanese Yokozuna in the past decade recently retired and was a huge dissappointment while he was Yokozuna). Tochinoshin is Georgian and was striving to get his Ozeki rank bank. Asanoyama (the winner and benefactor of the absurd decision) is Japanese. The judges were all Japanese.
I point these things out for no particular reason.
