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.

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. Edited by Asashosakari

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. ;)

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

Why doesn't Endo have a shikona? Will he even get one?

Perhaps he wants to be a modern day Kitao (Blowing up furiously...)

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.

Why not a Wajima? :-)

It smells more like Out-do.... (All credit for that line goes to Ice Cube)
