Gurowake 4,100 Posted January 10, 2015 Ryubu's winning percentage is definitely not correct; even his record under his current shikona is not 0-fer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 19,647 Posted January 10, 2015 The formula went missing from his row in my spreadsheet, thanks for catching that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gurowake 4,100 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) To the surprise of no one, Nakata and Yamashita are off to a "fast" start, already MK after day 7. If they have the desire to continue, they're certainly looking to be dai-persister material. Azumayama also adds to his total persistence streak with a loss on Day 7 leaving him without any wins this basho, although he failed to show up for the first two rounds.

The rest of the lineup doesn't look much better with Yamashita and Nakata also winless, and plenty of 1-3's. Only Sadanoyu and Akutsu are flying the flags for a possible kachikoshi. (Although they've since dropped to 2-3...) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 19,647 Posted January 22, 2015 We actually have two 3-3 kachikoshi contenders here after all - after dropping to 2-3 Sadanoyu has evened his record again, and Ryubu even battled back from 1-3. Sadanoyu already gets his shot in a few hours, Ryubu will have to wait for Day 14. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Finngall 35 Posted March 19, 2015 I'm too lazy to check for new candidates or update Asashosakari's table, but: Hatsu: Both Sadanoyu and Ryubu scored their kachikoshi and have graduated. (but they're 0-6 and 1-5 respectively at Haru). Sakai retired. Haru: All other listed persisters are makekoshi yet again, with only Azumayama and Sekizuka having even scored two wins going into their last bouts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benevolance 2,508 Posted March 19, 2015 At which point does Hakuho get added to the persistence watch, for continuing on despite having proven everything? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 19,647 Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Yeah, time to catch up here, these kids deserve it. First off, the final results from January: Shikona Heya Debut MK Current Rank Highest Rank Record Win% Last Basho This Basho Azumayama Tamanoi Natsu 2010 27 Jonokuchi 4 East Jonidan 92 46-139-4 0.249 3-4 0-3-4 Sadanoyu Sakaigawa Natsu 2012 15 Jonokuchi 11 West Jonidan 91 31-82 0.274 2-5 4-3 Sekizuka Naruto Haru 2013 11 Jonokuchi 2 West Jonokuchi 2 20-57 0.260 3-4 3-4 Sakai Naruto Haru 2013 6 Banzuke-gai Jonidan 101 15-29-12 0.341 0-1-6 Bg Akutsu Onoe Haru 2014 5 Jonokuchi 3 West Jonokuchi 3 14-21 0.400 3-4 3-4 Isamufuji Isegahama Haru 2014 5 Jonokuchi 8 East Jonokuchi 8 10-25 0.286 3-4 2-5 Yamashita Matsugane Haru 2014 5 Jonokuchi 12 West Jonokuchi 12 5-30 0.143 1-6 0-7 Shoki Miyagino Haru 2014 5 Jonokuchi 13 East Jonokuchi 11 8-25-2 0.242 1-6 2-5 Nakata Azumazeki Haru 2014 5 Jonokuchi 14 East Jonokuchi 14 6-30 0.167 1-6 2-6 Ryubu Musashigawa Natsu 2014 3 Jonokuchi 4 West Jonokuchi 4 13-15 0.464 3-4 4-3 As Finngall mentioned we lost three members at the time, Sadanoyu and Ryubu to graduation and Sakai to intai. In turn we found the following applicant: Shikona Heya Debut MK Current Rank Highest Rank Record Win% 2014.09 2014.11 2015.01 Shoryudo Shikihide Nagoya 2014 3 Jonokuchi 6 West Jonokuchi 6 7-14 0.333 2-5 3-4 2-5 I must admit the thread feels a little more complete again with a Shikihide rikishi in it. ;-) Incidentally, our most recent Shikihide entrant Hokuyozakura (back then still Chibahibiki) just "achieved" that rare thing, a 10-MK streak by a rikishi who already had a KK previously. (Although the 9 straight 3-4's are arguably even more astounding.) Edit: I should note that Moriurura also just put together a 12-MK streak again.

Asashosakari 19,647 Posted March 27, 2015 And the Haru results: Shikona Heya Debut MK Current Rank Highest Rank Record Win% Last Basho This Basho Azumayama Tamanoi Natsu 2010 28 Jonokuchi 21 East Jonidan 92 49-143-4 0.255 0-3-4 3-4 Sekizuka Naruto Haru 2013 12 Jonokuchi 1 West Jonokuchi 1 23-61 0.274 3-4 3-4 Akutsu Onoe Haru 2014 6 Jonokuchi 2 East Jonokuchi 2 16-26 0.381 3-4 2-5 Isamufuji Isegahama Haru 2014 6 Jonokuchi 6 West Jonokuchi 6 11-31 0.262 2-5 1-6 Shoki Miyagino Haru 2014 6 Jonokuchi 10 East Jonokuchi 10 9-31-2 0.225 2-5 1-6 Nakata Azumazeki Haru 2014 6 Jonokuchi 10 West Jonokuchi 10 6-37 0.140 2-6 0-7 Yamashita Matsugane Haru 2014 6 Jonokuchi 21 West Jonokuchi 12 7-35 0.167 0-7 2-5 Shoryudo Shikihide Nagoya 2014 4 Jonokuchi 6 East Jonokuchi 6 10-18 0.357 2-5 3-4 Oddly enough, everyone except the two zero-win guys reached a new career high rank after January. I wish I could proclaim that the reason for the lack of KKs, but no...just a not-so-good basho all around for our persisting club, although newcomer Shoryudo did have two KK opportunities from 3-2, losing the last one to (of all people) Moriurara. Sekizuka now has five straight 3-4's after he didn't post a single one in his first 7 tournaments. The restaffing continues with two new entrants: Shikona Heya Debut MK Current Rank Highest Rank Record Win% 2014.11 2015.01 2015.03 Ozaki Kasugano Aki 2014 3 Jonokuchi 9 West Jonokuchi 9 7-14 0.333 2-5 2-5 3-4 Kawamoto Miyagino Haru 2014 3 Jonokuchi 11 West Jonokuchi 10 7-14-7 0.333 3-4 2-5 2-5 Contrary to the table headings Kawamoto's first result is actually from 2014.05 as he had a three-basho spell out of competition/back in maezumo after that. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both had been quite close in recent tournaments, so it's nice to see them break through. Going the other way is Nakata who has decided to retire and thus ends his career without kachikoshi, never scoring better than 2-5. Losing our two most senior members provides us with a bit of an early reboot as we wait for the incoming 2015 class (set to join us after Aki). Meanwhile do have two more 2014 entrants joining us: Shikona Heya Debut MK Current Rank Highest Rank Record Win% 2015.01 2015.03 2015.05 Satoiazuma Tamanoi Kyushu 2014 3 Jonidan 100 West Jonidan 100 7-14 0.333 3-4 2-5 2-5 One Tamanoi guy out, another one in.
