Yubinhaad

And here is Asakiryu's tsutaezori from Day 9, which is already the 4th of his career, surpassing Satoyama's record for that kimarite.

Just inside the top ten, since 2001: 2022 Haru 10.18% 2023 Aki 9.96% 2023 Haru 9.71% 2018 Haru 9.68% 2019 Haru 9.67% 2022 Kyushu 9.47% 2021 Kyushu 9.33% 2023 Natsu 9.20% 2023 Hatsu 8.99% 2024 Aki 8.92% As you might guess from that, the average % for hatakikomi is higher these days. In the first 30 basho of this kimarite era it was 6.47%, in the last 30 basho it is 8.57%.

38 Showa Survivors took part in this basho, posting a combined 129 wins and 169 losses, with 13 kachi-koshi and 25 make-koshi. Myogiryu was absent and announced his retirement after the basho, followed by Aoiyama whose 5-10 record would have seen him drop out of the sekitori ranks too. So we'll be down to three Showa-born sekitori on the next banzuke, all of them in Makuuchi. Takarafuji reached double-digit wins (albeit with one fusensho) for the first time in eight years, and only the fifth time in his career. Tamawashi and Sadanoumi just fell short of kachi-koshi with senshuraku defeats; Tamawashi records a fourth consecutive 7-8 result. Sadanokuni claimed the first kachi-koshi of the basho, making a 4-0 start to the basho for the first time in exactly ten years. Hirose also secured kachi-koshi on the following day with his own 4-0 start. Ryusei's make-koshi will see him fall to Sandanme for the first time since 2016 Hatsu, ending a run of 51 consecutive basho in Makushita. In addition to two of our sekitori, 45-year-old Koshinoryu also announced his retirement after over 29 years on the dohyo. That leaves us with seven rikishi born in the 1970s, and eleven who had their hatsu-dohyo in the 1990s. Milestones: 1,631st consecutive bout - Tamawashi, Day 3, surpassing the record set by Aobajo. 1,300th consecutive bout - Takarafuji, Day 7. 1,200th career bout - Dairaido, Day 2. 1,200th career bout - Koshinoryu, Day 9. 800th Makuuchi bout - Sadanoumi, Day 10. 500th career win - Hagane, Day 9. 600th career loss - Aoiyama, Day 4. 500th career loss - Nionoumi, Day 10. 400th career loss - Katsunofuji, Day 8. Full results for 2024 Aki in banzuke order:

Well yeah, in Romaji. The kanji 奨 in Kotoshogiku is rare in shikona, and also has a nice meaning, to exhort or encourage. I think that would make a good choice for rikishi of a new heya. He might also use the first kanji from the heya too, currently unused on the banzuke.

https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202409260000799.html The rijikai has decided the latest round of promotions for the gyoji and tokoyama, and there's no long wait for a pair of tate gyoji this time, as the recently-new Inosuke will go up to Shonosuke and Kimura Shotaro will take his place as Inosuke. There are also three promotions to the special class of tokoyama. The yobidashi miss out this time. All the promotions will take effect as of December 23rd, release date for the 2025 Hatsu basho banzuke. Gyoji: 42nd Shikimori Inosuke > 39th Kimura Shonosuke Kimura Shotaro > 43rd Shikimori Inosuke Shikimori Kandayu > to Sanyaku Kimura Takao > to Makuuchi Kimura Hideaki > to Juryo Kimura Narimasa > to Sandanme Kimura Katsunosuke > to Sandanme Kimura Keitaro > to Sandanme Tokoyama: Tokoasa > to Tokuto Tokonaka > to Tokuto Tokotatsu > to Tokuto Tokotakeshi > to Itto Tokonaka and Tokotatsu will reach mandatory retirement age a little over a year from now, following current tokuto Tokotsuru in July. Tokoasa is a couple of years younger. Penny for the thoughts of Kimura Tamajiro lately...

As the thread is already up and running here are the danpatsu-shiki pictures I've found so far. First to the Fujishima-beya senshuraku party where Koshinoryu's danpatsu-shiki took place. Also retiring is Aoi from Shikoroyama-beya, after a 16-year career. Hakkaku-beya's Hokutonami is another one to call it a day, after a 12-year career. The heya posted four pictures from his danpatsu-shiki. Finally to Kise-beya's senshuraku party where Daiseiryu's danpatsu-shiki took place. Presumably the heya will put a video on their YouTube channel at some point.

Hokutofuji returns for Day 14, fights Ryuden.

Three Jonokuchi rikishi join the basho ahead of Day 13 in order to stay on the banzuke: Jk5w Raiho Jk11w Minorufuji Jk12w Gonoumi Raiho and Gonoumi will fight each other on Day 13, both having been injured during the Hatsu basho and absent since. Déjà vu for Minorufuji, who will fight Jk17e Wakasasaki - still seeking his first career win - for the second basho in a row on Day 13. Assuming they don't retire, the following rikishi will be banzuke-gai for the Kyushu basho: Jk2e Nishikiori Jk4e Arise - suffered a bad knee injury during the Haru basho. Jk8w Satotanaka - no longer shown on the Nishiiwa-beya site, so he likely will be on the intai list. Jk9w Kokiryu Jk13e Michihaya - Onomatsu-beya reported that he is having treatment for a chronic illness. Jk13w Fujihara Jk16w Seiseigo

Looks like he was under the white tassel (the non-timekeeper seat) for both shifts, accounting for his lack of experience. He was taking it seriously and said his hip hurt afterwards due to sitting too rigidly in the same position. Futagoyama-oyakata (former Ozeki Miyabiyama) is also absent now due to an injury near the lower back - his replacement is Wakafuji-oyakata (former Maegashira Otsukasa).

Bit late, but there was one withdrawal in the lower divisions ahead of Day 9: Sd16e Kotohaguro (fusenpai Day 8) =========== Much more action ahead of Day 11. One rikishi returns to the basho, two others make a late start, while three more have to withdraw. Entering/Returning: Jd16e Chikuba (fusenpai Day 5, withdrew Day 7) Jd84w Kotohanashiro Jk11e Sadanojo - an earlier start than usual for him, after seven straight entries for the last bout only. Withdrawing: Sd6w Kaishin (fusenpai Day 10) Jd79w Shibuya - a slight limp after being ashitori'd off the dohyo by Kotomotomura on Day 9. Jd82e Kato - a hard landing off the dohyo in his last bout, he had to be helped up and was taken away in the wheelchair. Ms20e Fukai also had a fusenpai on Day 10, but has not yet withdrawn from the basho. He couldn't get back on the dohyo after losing on Day 8, although he did hobble away unaided.

See this post. Since that was written I think only ex-Chiyootori has become oyakata before turning 30.

The right ankle he had surgery on is suffering from osteoarthritis and tarsal sinus syndrome (右足根洞症候群), also right knee pain due to an old PCL injury. Return is possible depending on how the treatment goes. Elsewhere, ahead of Day 7 one rikishi begins his basho but three others have to withdraw: Entering: Sd29e Ryutsukasa Withdrawing: Ms18w Tokunomusashi (fusenpai Day 5) - Musashigawa-beya reports a ligament injury in the right leg, it looked to me like his right ankle got trapped at a painful angle when he was thrown by Kazuto on Day 2. Ms46w Hayatefuji (fusenpai Day 5) Jd16e Chikuba (fusenpai Day 5)

The rijikai has decided this year's round of promotions among the gyoji, yobidashi and tokoyama - most notably we'll see a Kimura Shonosuke again after almost nine years, and a new tate yobidashi for the first time in four years. The promotions are effective from December 25th, release date of the Hatsu basho banzuke. The new Shonosuke will have only five basho in the role, as he reaches retirement age next September. Gyoji: 41st Shikimori Inosuke > 38th Kimura Shonosuke Kimura Hisanosuke > Sanyaku Shikimori Seiichiro > Makushita Kimura Sakuranosuke > Makushita Shikimori Komei > Jonidan Shikimori Tomokimi > Jonidan Yobidashi: Jiro > Tate Katsuyuki > Fukutate Shigejiro > Makushita Yuji > Sandanme Hiroshi > Sandanme Kenta > Jonidan Takeru > Jonidan Tokoyama: Tokomasa > Itto Tokokuwa > Itto Tokoryu > Nito Tokoami > Nito Tokomitsu > Santo Tokoshun > Yonto

A torn tricep in the left arm (左上腕三頭筋断裂), originally suffered during the Nagoya basho, as well as a partially torn femoral bicep in the right thigh (右大腿二頭筋部分断裂) originally suffered during a training camp in Hokkaido last month. Kokonoe-oyakata (former Ozeki Chiyotaikai) says he will not return this basho.

J13w Chiyosakae is kyujo from Day 4. Kiryuko will get his first win as a sekitori with a fusensho.

I knew I'd seen that question and an answer before, and after scrolling back 27 pages I found them. Updating Asashosakari's query shows that your find was one of three such cases in this basho, following Higonoryu-Koga and Shimanishiki-Hayashiryu earlier on Day 2.

One rikishi withdraws from the basho after missing his opening bout: Jd64w Kaitoma (fusenpai Day 1) - Asakayama-beya reports that he is suffering from lumbago (腰痛), lower back pain. Jd70w Amanofuji also had a fusenpai on Day 1 but hasn't withdrawn at this stage.

It'll have to be Ms17w Kusano this time.

With the Yokozuna kyujo, Satonofuji takes another break from yumitori-shiki duty - Kototsubasa takes over, with recent experience during the last jungyo.

The lower division absentees for this basho are: Ms38e Fujitoshi Ms49w Kazuma Ms59e Yago Sd4e Kotoozutsu Sd5e Kaizen Sd29e Ryutsukasa Sd44w Kotetsu Sd56w Chiyotenfu Sd71w Kobayashi Sd73w Kyokushori Sd77w Daikisho Jd10e Hokutoiwa Jd15e Fujiyuho Jd54w Kyokutaizan Jd73w Soseizan Jd84w Kotohanashiro Jd93w Daishiyama Jk2e Nishikiori Jk4e Arise Jk5w Raiho Jk8e Nishikio Jk8w Satotanaka Jk9w Kokiryu Jk11e Sadanojo Jk11w Minorufuji Jk12w Gonoumi Jk13e Michihaya Jk13w Fujihara Jk16w Seiseigo

Eight shikona changes on this banzuke. First to Takekuma-beya, where Kanzaki takes the first kanji of the shisho's shikona and is now Gojinyu. I didn't think Sasakiyama was ever going to take a shikona, but now he's Sengaku. No idea yet on the origin of that one. Over in Nishonoseki-beya, Sato's new shikona of Rakanji is taken from Rakan-ji, a Soto Buddhist temple which stands in his home city of Nakatsu, Oita prefecture. Two changes in Nishiiwa-beya. Wakafutaba is now Mikinosato, while Higashi-Osaka native Wakaarata keeps the reading but adds a kanji - it must be a further tribute to the previous Aratakayama, who coached at the Higashi-Osaka Sumo Dojo. Over at Tokiwayama-beya, Takataisho is now Aoiryu, but he holds on to the old 'Taka' in a change to the given name. Yamadaumi's new shikona is Harimaumi, a reference to the old Harima province which is now part of Hyogo prefecture. Lastly to Takadagawa-beya, where Narita is now Daigozakura. That shikona is taken from a famous cherry tree of the same name which stands in his home city of Maniwa, Okayama. Ms26w Kanzaki > Gojinyu (豪刃雄, ごうじんゆう) Sd3e Sasakiyama > Sengaku (閃岳, せんがく) Sd75e Sato Konosuke > Rakanji Kandai (羅漢児　寛大, らかんじ　かんだい) Jd18w Wakafutaba > Mikinosato (幹希の里, みきのさと) Jd22e Takataisho Shuto > Aoiryu Takakatsu (葵龍　貴勝, あおいりゅう　たかかつ) Jd46w Yamadaumi > Harimaumi (播磨海, はりまうみ) Jd91w Wakaarata (若新 > 若花新) Jd98w Narita Norifumi > Daigozakura Seiichiro (醍醐桜　誠一郎, だいござくら　せいいちろう) Three others from Tokiwayama-beya change the given name of their shikona: Ms56w Aratakayama Hiroto > Katsuhiro (勝洸, かつひろ) Sd23e Takashoki Yoshikatsu > Yoshimune (薫宗, よしむね) Jd97w Takatairiku Masamichi > Masakatsu (真一, まさかつ) [Note for @Doitsuyama, Takatairiku's previous given name Masamichi / 真道 was not shown on his profile) Nikkan picks up the shusshin change for Goseiryu noticed here recently, plus one more: Ms49w Kazuma - Ishikawa-ken, Kanazawa-shi > Osaka-fu, Osaka-shi, Minato-ku (大阪府大阪市港区) Jd11w Goseiryu - Saitama-ken, Honjo-shi > Aomori-ken, Tsugaru-shi (青森県つがる市)

Seven kimarite saw their first appearance of the year in this basho, and Shoran produced two of them. I didn't find a video of his chongake win on Day 4, but there is one of his kawazugake win against Kotoegashira a few days later. Tanji will be at a new career-high rank after his 6-1 result here; among the wins was an uchimuso against former Juryo Takakento. Tobizaru chalked up the 14th kekaeshi win of his career on Day 14, though he's still a long way off Tochitsurugi's record. The other kimarite used for the first time this year were kubihineri, sakatottari and ketaguri. Kimarite from kettei-sen bouts are not included in the statistics.

The upper arm injury I mentioned was a ruptured biceps tendon in the right arm, you can see the surgical scar in the first picture in the box. After that are some shots from his danpatsu-shiki which took place a few weeks ago. I could find only a single picture of Daishomune's danpatsu-shiki, Oitekaze-oyakata (former Maegashira Daishoyama) making the tomebasami. Former stablemate Daishoryu posted a video showing the heya sekitori making their cuts, and Daishomune's speech afterwards. Teraoumi's danpatsu-shiki took place a week after the Natsu basho, also a follow-up post. Takabaho plans to set up a chanko restaurant in his home city of Takasaki, Gunma prefecture. His danpatsu-shiki will take place in a Tokyo hotel at the end of August.

A few shikona given name additions/correction: Chiyotensho - Tajio (手力男, たぢお). A contraction from Ame-no-Tajikarao, the deity who opened Amaterasu's cave and returned light to the world. Shoran - Tatsunoshin (達之眞, たつのしん). Dairinzan Rin - it's a slightly different kanji for the given name, 稟. And with Tokisoma's retirement I notice that his shikona given name slipped through the net, it was Baira (馬苛, ばいら).

38 Showa Survivors participated in the final basho to be held at the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium, totalling 132 wins and 172 losses. Kaorufuji and Teraoumi were absent (the latter having really retired after Natsu, it's official now), while Shosei and Higohikari remain off the banzuke. None of the sekitori could muster a kachi-koshi this time, Myogiryu had the best chance after a decent start but lost his last four to finish 7-8. We must look to Fujiazuma to find our first winning record, his 5-2 booking his return to Makushita after seven basho in Sandanme. He'll be joined there by Nionoumi and Chiyoraizan who got the same result. Sawaisamu fought two opponents almost 32 years his junior, winning against Wakasasaki for his 400th career win, and later losing against Kikuchi. Satonofuji became the most prolific yumitori-shiki performer in history, finally surpassing Edonohana's record which had stood for over 40 years. Milestones: Aoiyama - 1200th career bout, Day 13. Hagane - 1000th career bout, Day 10. Hirose - 600th consecutive career bout, Day 9. Myogiryu - 600th career win, Day 10. Asatenmai - 500th career win, Day 10. Sawaisamu - 400th career win, Day 8. Satonofuji - 600th career loss, Day 6. Full results for 2024 Nagoya in banzuke order:
