Well now, this is interesting. Could we have a third yusho of the year from a wrestler at the bottom of the banzuke?

Ura did just make it into the Makushita top 10 promotion zone!

Are you forecasting an Ichinojo yusho?

I, for one, am pleased Hoshoryu got the nod, and am excited to see how he fares in the top division.

I am forecasting the possibility. The basking shark of sumo might be ready to swim up the to the surface again.

[Shatsume 118]

The way that 2020 is going, it would only slightly surprise me if Abi got a zensho yusho. 

 

 

 

Joking, obvs. 

[Yubinhaad 11,761]

Quite a few shikona changes on this banzuke, with a lot of rikishi getting their first and a few others going back in time to an old one.

In the aftermath of the Nakagawa-beya closure, four of the surviving rikishi change their shikona to make a fresh start. Highest ranked on the list is Kyokusoten who gets a typical shikona from his new heya, Kataonami, and also changes the given name.

Fujishima-beya's Fukuyama is now Kainoshima, the last kanji can of course be from both the heya and his home prefecture of Kagoshima.

Matsuyama celebrates his Makushita debut by reverting to his old shikona of Dewataikai, after four years under his real names. The given name also changes to Tomokazu (different second kanji to his earlier stint when it was Tomoyasu).

Three rikishi from Yamahibiki-beya get their first shikona. Fukazawa is now Joyuriki - the middle kanji is taken from the shisho (ex-Ganyu). He also changes the second kanji of his given name but keeps the reading as Hayato. Yabugasaki is now Hakuonada, and finally Kamada is now Biganzan, with a new given name.

Over in Onomatsu-beya, Chida is now Tsugunohana, the last kanji perhaps a nod to his hometown of Hanamaki. Elsewhere, Asahiyama-beya's Kitajima definitely honours his hometown with the new shikona of Shimanishiki (just like Shimanoumi).

Moving back to the Nakagawa survivors, Kiyama is now Kyokutenryo, that shikona obviously inspired by his new shisho Tomozuna-oyakata (ex-Kyokutenho). I was surprised to see twin brothers Okunisato and Yoshizawa move to different heya, but they are at least matching their shikona reversions here - Okunisato goes back to Okunidake (with a new given name, Shotaro), while Yoshizawa goes back to Okuniyama.

The most interesting change comes down in Jonokuchi, where Isegahama-beya's Sakashita gets the rare privilege of a five-character shikona - he is now Yaotsufuji, honouring his hometown of Yaotsu in Gifu prefecture. Even more interestingly, the third character is a katakana, though I'm puzzled why they didn't just use the actual third kanji from the town. Anyway, it's some welcome company for Okinofuji, who has been flying the flag alone for three years.

Lastly, the quartet of debutants from Kokonoe-beya all get shikona immediately which seems to be standard practice there now. The only note I'll make is that Takarabe's shikona contains his given name. With no given name change specified, that makes him Chiyotensho Tensho.

I'd pour cold water on that, but it would be a very Ichinojo thing to happen.

[Hakuryuho 335]

Incredibly excited for Hoshoryu! Definitely expecting great things from this guy in his top division future. He definitely has the talent and I guess the genes are also on his side ;)

Really thought Ichinojo losing on senshuraku meant that he would stay in Juryo but I'm happy nonetheless! He's fun to watch and deserves to be in Makuuchi, albeit the last rank.

Aki is shaping up to be an exciting basho!

Dewaminato became Komusubi in 1939 after Yusho at M17.

[Jyuunomori 226]

Daieisho got promoted to Sekiwake with neither Sekiwake losing their ranks. His performance was too good not to be promoted, and Endo was there to fill the Komusubi spot.

A huge leap for Terunofuji. Welcome back, my man.

The same can be said for Ura as well.  While not as amazing as Terunofuji's rise from jonidan #48 to makunouchi #1 (including a yusho) in eight bashos, his recent  record is still extremely impressive--from jonidan #108 to makushita #5 in only four bashos. Two remarkable stories from what seemed like early retirement to success.

The second time his knee went, I really thought he Ura was done.

Going to be really interesting to see if Terunofuji can keep it going. He was destroying the opposition in Juryo and now makuuchi, the only limiting factor seems to be staying fit for the full 2 weeks

[Eikokurai 3,437]

Onosho only dropping to M9 is a small surprise. It’s not without precedent but most M2 with a 2-13 record fall to M10-13. Most recently Arawashi went from M2e to M12w.
