Zentoryu 154 Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) Disclaimer: I translate this information from the Nikkan Sports Webpage. It should not be considered official. Nikkan is known to make mistakes in their kensho counts from time to time, but they usually get around to correcting them. Also, Nikkan only posts the top 10 everyday, so I have no idea how many kensho someone not on that list has. After Day 1... Rikishi # Yen Hakuho 37 2,035,000 Kotoshogiku 13 715,000 Kotooshu 9 495,000 Kaio 8 440,000 Baruto 8 440,000 Takamisakari 6 330,000 Kisenosato 4 220,000 Miyabiyama 3 165,000 Wakakoyu 2 110,000 Tokitenku 1 55,000 Kyokutenho 1 55,000 Aran 1 55,000 Mokonami 1 55,000 Shimotori 1 55,000 Yokozuna Hakuho opened the tournament with a yorikiri win over Tochiozan that netted him 37 kensho. Kotoshogiku took down Harumafuji to pick up the second highest total of the day with 13 envelopes being handed to him by the gyoji. Fellow Sadogatake rikishi Kotooshu took home 9 envelopes, while Baruto opened his first Ozeki basho with a slapdown victory over Tochinoshin that saw 8 kensho go his way. Matching him was Kaio, who picked up 8 of his own as he continued on his quest for 1,000 wins. Edited May 9, 2010 by Zentoryu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He picked up another 15 today after pushing out winless Homasho. Kaio got his 4th slapdown win of the tournament, this one against Kisenosato, to collect 9 envelopes.

The shin-Ozeki forced out winless Toyonoshima to earn himself another 5 envelopes. Tochinoshin took his fourth Ozeki scalp of the basho, knocking Kaio from the ranks of the unbeaten. The victory netted him 7 envelopes, the second highest total of the day. Kotooshu and Shimotori picked up 2 and 1 kensho each, while Harumafuji and Hokutoriki joined the lead group for the first time this basho.

Baruto slapped down Aminishiki to keep pace with the Yokozuna in the win column and pick up 6 kensho for himself. The last two days have been costly for Kaio, not just in terms of wins and losses, but in a monetary sense as well. The Ozeki has seen 16 envelopes go to his opponents over that time. Yesterday he fell to defeat against Tochinoshin, losing out on 7 kensho. Today Kotoshogiku forced the Ozeki out to earn the 9 kensho placed on the bout. Takamisakari picked up his 4th victory of the tournament, earning 6 envelopes from a yorikiri win over Tamanoshima. Lastly, Kisenosato and Harumafuji picked up 2 kensho each from wins over Tochiozan and Miyabiyama respectively. Edited May 15, 2010 by Zentoryu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zentoryu 154 Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Anyone know the record for kensho in a basho ? The single basho record for one rikishi is 404 by Hakuho just last basho. Edited May 19, 2010 by Zentoryu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zentoryu 154 Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) After Day 11...

Harumafuji's victory over the shin-Ozeki netted him at least 7 kensho and returned him to the lead group for the first time since Day 7. Tochinoshin returned to his winning ways with a Yoritaoshi win over Aminishiki to garner 4 kensho for himself. The Sadogatake trio of Kotooshu, Kotoshogiku and Kotomitsuki picked up 3, 3 and 1 respectively, with Osh's win coming courtesy of isamiashi.

He took a step closer today, moving to 14-0 after a win over Kotooshu. The victory added 32 kensho to his collection and pushed him over 300 for the basho. Kaio secured his KK with an okuridashi win over Aminishiki that also netted him 14 envelopes. Fellow Ozeki Baruto got his 10th win and 6 more kensho after throwing down Kitataiki.

Hakuho put the finishing touches on a zensho yusho by taking care of business against Harumafuji. The win netted him 42 envelopes, giving the Yokozuna a total of 367, well short of last basho's record haul of 404, but impressive nonetheless. Kaio picked up 22 and notched his 1,000th career victory against Kotooshu, while Kotomitsuki threw down Baruto for 13 envelopes of his own. Hakuho will add 10,000,000yen for his Yusho win. Sansho winners Tochinoshin and Aran will get an extra 2,000,000yen each and Juryo Yusho winner Bushuyama also gets a 2,000,000yen bonus for his efforts.
