Asashosakari 18,996 Posted July 24, 2013 well, he can close the file on this one, so what's up next: most Jonidan yusho championships of all time....?It would move another division to "sole leader" status, anyway: Makuuchi Taiho 32, juryo Masurao 5, sandanme Wakanojo 3. Only makushita (several 3's) and jonidan (many 2's) are breaking the pattern now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 18,996 Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Well .. this query prompted to make another one of my own and i found out that Kuniazuma (the Brazilian) is the rikishi with the most non-sekitori Yushos.And to add an active component to it - Tanzo (as Terashita) is co-leader for most non-sekitori top scores, i.e. divisional yusho or playoff.

Masumasumasu 902 Posted July 25, 2013 Why doesn't Endo have a shikona? Will he even get one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benevolance 2,484 Posted July 25, 2013 He has a shikona, but it's entirely rendered in interpretive dance. It's why it takes so long for him to line up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aderechelsea 124 Posted July 25, 2013 i find his shikona rather creative ... i am just fed up with fujis, yamas, ryus and kotos. the Endo shikona tells a lot about the rikishi's balance. His Oyakata saw that in him and tried to use it for his name (randomly selected pic of a motorcyclist performing an Endo, provided by google) B-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronnie 221 Posted July 25, 2013 Why doesn't Endo have a shikona? Will he even get one? Perhaps he wants to be a modern day Kitao (Blowing up furiously...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Naganoyama 5,881 Posted July 25, 2013 I imagine that he'll have a proper shikona on the next banzuke. For some reason his oyakata didn't get around to or forgot to arrange it last time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Washuyama 638 Posted July 25, 2013 He has a shikona, but it's entirely rendered in interpretive dance. It's why it takes so long for him to line up. His 'shikona' is also slang for cannabis. ;) It smells more like Out-do.... (All credit for that line goes to Ice Cube) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
