November 13th, 2018: Congratulations to Ichiume (市梅) of Ichi (市) in Kamishichiken on the occasion of her misedashi! She is the imōto of natori geiko Umegiku (梅ぎく), from whom she takes the “梅” kanji from. Umegiku is also the onesan to Ichigiku (市ぎく) who debuted a few weeks ago from Ichi as well. Ichiume’s career started off on a bit of a confused note; she was first mistaken for a minarai back in August when she was performing her tameshiyui (hair trial). From there, someone had spread rumors of her geimei being “Ichihiro,” which we now know to be misheard or misinterpreted. However, knowing that she was still around after so many retirements was a great surprise in October and now we get to see her take her first steps into what hopes to be a promising career ^^
