Faustonowaka

An he seems to have changed to another (black) gunbai

Chiyoshoma had his first kinboshi after 93 tournaments. After a quick search I came up with Takanonami and Kotoshogiku who did “better” with 94. Anyone have a complete list?

"Only" £1.000 for ringside seats, pretty cheap compared to the Paris event...

Sakahoko and Terao at Sekiwake, Haru 1989

Has there ever been a heya with 3 ex-Yokozuna coaching at the same time, as is currently the case at Isegahama-beya (Asahifuji, Hakuho, Terunofuji)?

€80 for nosebleed seats and €2.000 dohyo-side. I guess I’ll keep saving money to go to Japan…

I’d take that with a pinch of salt

And another update: Musashimaru will teach Hoshoryu

Today he even talked and did an impression of Terunofuji

Excellent! I’ll be there

… and Nishikifuji stays at M17e even with 6 more losses

Unless Hoshoryu gets the Yusho and a promotion, the next banzuke will be the first since Hatsu 1993 without a Yokozuna on it

Instead of a double Yokozuna promotion we’re heading straight to two kadoban Ozeki and a Yokozuna intai…

Hakuho had 44 wins as Maegashira in his first 4 Makuuchi basho, but we all know the rest…

Kaio had six 8-7’s in 2009

Asashoryu says no

He just wants the record for most (gentle) yorikiri losses in a row

All rikishi currently at Ozeki/Yokozuna had impressive kachi-koshi streaks to achieve their rank: - Hoshoryu: Maegashira 6 -> Ozeki: 10 straight kachi-koshi (currently at 17) - Kotozakura: Maegashira 14 -> Ozeki: 13 straight kachi-koshi (currently at 17) - Onosato: Makushita 10 -> Ozeki: 9 straight kachi-koshi (and counting) - Terunofuji: Jonidan 48 -> Yokozuna: 12 straight kachi-koshi (streak stopped at 15 in fourth tournament as Yokozuna) Musashimaru had 20 straight kachi-koshi to achieve Ozeki and 52 (!!) to achieve Yokozuna

Hokusheiho was born in Mongolia and reached Juryo with 3 losses

Purple and white in 2 years (39th Shonosuke turns 65 after Aki 2026) Full purple in 4 years (43rd Inosuke, by then probably 40th Shonosuke, turns 65 after Aki 2028)

Kiriyama? Furiwake is vacant since last april

Hakuoho was promoted from Ms15TD (which is techically equal to Ms16e) not so long ago, so I wouldn’t rule out a Hatsuyama promotion just yet

The Ozeki (Takakeisho) is dead, long live the Ozeki (Onosato)!
