What do they say, "There's lies, damned lies, and statistics?"

Neither table is incorrect as far as I know, but the interpretation of the wikipedia one can be misleading.
Definitely, one's kinboshi stats should be predicated on success rate, i.e. based on the number of opportunities.

Consider Hakuho's Aki 2018. He gave up no gold stars but only fought 6 matches where one could have been awarded.
By contrast, in Kyushu 2019, he coughed one up to Daieisho, but also fought in 9 matches where a gold star was on the line.

return to the mythical origins of sumo, let it be matches for land, let a "daimyo"(corpo) sponsor a samurai(sumo wrestler). the league starts with an investment of, let's say 100 million from every team owner, they all get to have a stock of 10 fighters, then 80% of all up front investment is used to buy land, and the rest is used to host and moderate by a collectively agreed upon publisher. every fight is for a claim of land, but other agreements can be made if the winner doesn't want that piece or the loser doesn't want to give it up, such as patents or monetary compensation.

Have I ever told you the tale of yokozuna Tamanishiki, the chosen one?

Once upon a jungyo long past (1918), the yokozuna Tachiyama was restless with boredom. Following the day's matches, he uttered this whimsical challenge unto the vast audience: whosoever can take me upon his back and carry me once around the dohyou, I shall reward with a 60 kilogram bale of rice! (That, or just a 50-sen coin - history isn't clear on this point.)

The prize was enticing but the task daunting and, though a few bold men tried their hand, none could carry the 140+ kilogram man. It seemed the challenge would go uncompleted. Then stepped forth from the milling crowd a 14-year-old boy, a fresh sumo recruit who had yet to even set foot on the dohyou.

The boy asked for his chance, Tachiyama climbed aboard - and he began walking with the yokozuna on his back. Only a few steps short of finishing the trip around the dohyou, the boy fell. And then he got back up, and asked to try again from the start. Again, the massive yokozuna draped himself atop the boy's shoulders. On this second attempt, the boy kept his footing and made it all the way around the dohyou, winning the prize! This was an amazing feat, and it was immediately clear to everyone this boy could be something special.

It would only be a matter of months from that day until his hatsu-dohyou, and 15 years of sumo excellence until he was granted his yokozuna license.

But that story reads like bullshit. How do we know any of this really happened?

It's my translation of the figure Tachiyama himself gave in retelling the story. He said he weighed "more than 38 kan", which is an old Japanese metric - 38 kan equates to 142.5 kg. Knowing his given height and weight were almost identical to Asashouryuu, I think it could be a credible figure.

They may have finally been bolted down at the Kokugikan, because not a single soul threw one all basho. I know several of the other basho gymnasiums had it done years ago.

The reality is that zabuton throwing has never been allowed. For 15+ years, there have been signs posted about it, and more recently they've had the announcer telling fans to please not throw them because it could cause injuries. You can even find footage of Asashoryu, sumo's tough guy, trying to dodge incoming zabuton.

>Terunofuji will miss the November basho

Yokozuna Terunofuji
The Japan Sumo Association announced that yokozuna Terunofuji will not participate in the fall tournaments, which will be held in Kofu City. He was absent from the autumn Grand Sumo Tournament in September due to worsening pain in both knees from an old injury. Although he had entered the ring during the four-day tourney that began, he did not participate in morning practice sessions and matches, which delayed his recovery.

During the fall tournament, Terunofuji was noticeably shielding his right knee, and his master, Isekehama Oyakata (former yokozuna Asahifuji), mentioned the possibility of surgery. Terunofuji said at his yokozuna promotion party on November 16, "I will consult with my teachers and stablemasters and see what I can do.

So, the reporting is strange here because the sources are treating this as something it's not. Unless I'm reading it wrong, this is actually only tangential to Hakuho. The proper story is that Hak's manager swindled 1 billion yen out of various targets, of which 1/10th appears to have come from Miyaginobeya, before disappearing in early July and no one can find him. The tabloids are suggesting the possibility that the manager was a billion yen in debt due to gambling, then devolving into blind conspiracy about various things like Hakuho being in trouble or having to give up the heya because of this.

They seem to want this to say something about Hak, and I can't understand where they're coming from. It isn't as though he 'allowed this to happen' or any such, he's one of the victims.

Perhaps you were confusing him with our other ozeki, who are also constantly in and out of kadoban.

Shodai's 2022:
Hatsu: 6-9
Haru (in kadoban): 9-6
Natsu: 5-10
Nagoya (in kadoban): 10-5
Aki: 4-11
Kyushu (in kadoban): TBD

One thing to bear in mind is that an ozeki who gets demoted has one last lifeline. If he gets demoted and then in the very next tournament is able to achieve at least 10 wins, then he is automatically re-promoted to ozeki.

This is the situation Mitakeumi finds himself in currently. Also, this is what happened to Takakeisho, who got injured in his very first tournament as ozeki, sat out the next tournament, and went 12-3 as sekiwake to regain his rank.

So even if Shodai shits his mawashi in Kyushu, he can bang out 10 wins in Hatsu and he'll be right back where he started.

Why is it whenever you see the rikishi hanging around and there's any kind of laughter, Abi will be in the middle of it, cackling.

you fucking moron. Asashouryuu's manager tried to cover up who was involved by claiming that he had been hit. The YDC *and* the NSK said that they didn't really care about the incident and both gave him their warning. Days later, papers leaked that it hadn't been the manager who was punched but instead a leadership figure of a "hangure", one of the gangs unaffiliated with the major (yakuza) syndicates. That immediately changed their tune; they flipped their shit and demanded he retire. Neither sumo body gave a fuck when they thought he had 'just' slugged his manager.

None of this is conjecture or conspiracy or guesswork, it's literally on Asashouryuu's jp wikipedia page with plentiful citations.
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/朝青龍明徳#2010年/不祥事による突如引退

By chance they turned out right to be worried, although not because of Asashouryuu himself - when the match fixing scandal broke it came out that some low-ranking yakuza and yakuza affiliates were directly connected with an unclear number of thrown bouts. Doesn't that make the reports that the victim was asking for "compensation" at least a little more concerning?

To be clear, I don't agree with the decision to kick him out of sumo. But the reality that the NSK wasn't out to get the poor foreign yokozuna needs to be more accepted.

So what sort of record do we think Atamifuji will manage in his top division debut?

I think he'll manage a 6-9. He hasn't been dominant in upper juryo and kind of got lucky getting promoted this high.
I expect big things from the kid in the future but I think this is a little too soon for him.

Tomato has the same problem Oho has. He frequently fades in week 2. Oho's problem might be mental, though. Atami probably just lacks stamina. Atami is obviously better coached.
In his last basho, he started 6-2 and finished 8-7

The craftier veterans in makuuchi will probably take advantage of his fatigue to secure their own kachi-koshi.

Definitely, though, he looks like he's getting to that crossover point where juryo no longer really challenges him but makuuchi might be a little too much for him.

The weak point I've noticed for Atamifuji is his balance. He seems to need to stop to re-set his feet a lot, even when he's in control. That feels like something that will naturally correct with experience, though.

The young guys especially seem to have trouble adapting. They may have a plan coming into a bout but as soon as their opponent does something unexpected they take a split second longer to come up with a response.

It's natural, of course, and can only be corrected with experience. Young guys at this level have been simply overpowering their opponents and now they're facing guys who are just as strong but also more experienced.

Given the absence of Teru and the lack of legitimate competition, plus seemingly being relatively healthy enough for a string of decent performances, might Keisho actually get the rope with say a 13-2Y? Assuming he's capable of it ofc
I imagine the YDC would really rather not give it to a guy who's straining to breathe after mounting the dohyo, but he'd have three 10+ win performances in a row, a yusho and a jun, and these are dire times where it seems like the thin state of yokozeki might compel them to hand out a more or less deserved promotion (esp with Asanopromo still all the way back in makushita + wktkkg and all the young 20-somethings not actually being yokozuna material any time soon)

This has only happened once since Futahaguro, and it was the Yokozuna Hokutoumi that immediately followed him, who got a 12-3 Y and a 13-2 JY. Kisenosato got by with a 14-1 and a 12-3. It’s unlikely keisho will be considered with a Y and JY unless he can manage 26 wins or more over two tournaments. This is based off of existing Yokozuna promotion records.
Curious also is Onokuni, who got a 15-0 Y followed by a 12-3 and 13-2, both JY before his promotion.

Neither the YDC or NSK care about whether there is a yokozuna. You may be conflating this with oozeki - there must always be two oozeki, but they will never ever promote to yokozuna because they feel someone has to be there.

Stop using superfluous weeb terms

Things like mawashi, dohyo, gyoji have perfectly good English equivalents. They only acceptable Japanese words are the wrestlers (ring) names, and Yokozuna, Ozeki etc. Name the divisions if you absolutely must, but salaried wrestler, 3rd division etc. make for much easier reading. Also, no one here is impressed by weeb words, we already know them.

Nah I wasn't conflating it, I was thinking mostly at the time that they'd maybe want someone in the yokozuna role locked down for the near future so that between Shodai potentially dropping out of ozeki any given basho and Teru going into injury hell and retiring in the next year or so, even if Keisho started to shit the bed they'd at least still have one person guaranteed to be ozeki equivalent for a while before embarrassment might force him to retire from poor performances
The problem was sumodb was down at the time and I couldn't be bothered scrounging manually for information about equivalent performances (for Keisho's last two basho + the hypothetical 13-2Y I mentioned) that had led to yokozuna promotions, but as one anon said that's only happened once recently and even Hokutoumi's 13-2J was actually a yusho equivalent compared to Keisho's 11-4, so realistically the only way Keisho could MAYBE get the promo this month is a zensho yusho

Right, but his jun from two basho ago (which would still be a part of a three-basho run of form right now for the rough criteria that seems to be in place, even if it's not strong enough of a performance) was 11-4J
My point was that there're somewhat exceptional circumstances given the dire state of sanyaku sumo where we actually could see fewer than two ozeki ranks in the near future and effectively locking someone else into yokozuna-ozeki would cover their bases, but I already accept that the only way Keisho'd get the rope is from starting a new run now and having two yusho now and in january

I've heard of that rumor bandied about before. I couldn't tell you where it came from though.
The idea is that a yusho, then a relatively weak performance like an 11-4/10-5, then another yusho would merit promotion.

Again, though, I have no idea where it came from, since no one since Futahaguro's tenure has been promoted after such a performance. Plus, the YDC is so renowned for being open and clear about their promotion criteria, so it was probably just some redditor thinking they understood the thinking of a room full of elderly Japanese.

There are indeed many kinds of belt, and we use different terminology for them to reflect those many kinds and differentiate them from each other. It is not uncommon to use foreign-language terms in such a way. Fencing uses many French words in a technical sense, polo games are divided into chukkas. Sumo is no different and it makes sense to use simple Japanese words to discuss sumo-specific concepts.

Seems like he just shrugged her off when she tried to drag him home from the bar, and she got mildly hurt as a result. He'll probably get a new nickname in the power ranking chart but it doesn't look like he's going to be forcibly retired for brutalising women, seems like he just needs some kind of intervention for the drinking.

Nieto, he looks calm to me. Even bored. No nerves, no panic. He looks like he’s in a good headspace.
Yes, obviously Abi should beat him, but former sanyaku Onosho and Aoiyama should have as well.

I think Oho’s goal is double digits and maybe a Sansho, if he even has a goal at all. Maybe he’s really just taking each match as it comes.

Oho hasn't figured out the flowchart yet, but Hoshoryu might go want to go chest to chest and turn the bout into a contest of strength, which could favor Oho (or at least give him a fighter's chance.)

The boring answer is Takakeisho.
Takayasu will beat Oho and then choke against whomever.
Takakeisho will win out.

The most fun timeline would be the one where Sobrino and Nieto win out and face each other in a playoff.

Pretty close, save for the predictions of tomorrow's matchups.

>Takakeisho vs Oho
Oho won't embarrass himself, but he will still lose.
>Abi vs Hoshoryu
Hoshoryu knows how to solve the flowchart
>Takayasu vs Kagayaki
Everyone predicting a Takayasu choke doesn't know how choking works. You have to be on the cusp of victory before choking. Takayasu will win on Day 14 so that he can lose TWICE on Day 15.

Takayasu retains the lead at 12-2 with Hoshoryu and Takakeisho trailing 11-3.

Takakeisho will beat Abi on Day 15.
Takayasu will lose to Kotonowaka (?) on Day 15.
Takakeisho beats Takayasu in the playoff.

If/when Oho loses, he'll probably be so mentally exhausted that he'll lose on Day 15 too to finish 10-5, regardless of who he faces. They'll probably try to motivate him on Day 15 with a "win gets you the Kanto-sho".

Hiradoumi is quietly having himself a nice little tournament. If he can beat Nishikifuji, I can see the schedulers having Oho and Hiradoumi fight and the winner gets the Fighting Spirit prize.

Very good.

However, should he continue on his good run of form and achieve a 13-2 jun-yusho then that could be enough. (Obviously a yusho would be enough.)
In 2020, a 12-3 jun-yusho in Aki along with the yusho in Kyushu was considered insufficient for promotion when combined with a number of factors like youth and injury history.

Anonymous at Fri, 25 Nov 2022 15:45:04 UTC No. 126221

After a look at a dozen or so rikishi that I would consider to have been in comparable positions of health and career as Keisho is in right now, I predict that he has somewhere between 24 and 28 basho remaining, assuming about one sit out per year. Enough time to become a yokozuna, no doubt.

What happens then? There's only one Yokozeki when there should be two.
I know this is hypothetical because Terunofuji can literally sit on his ass forever and keep his Yokozuna rank, but theoretically, what would happen?

No one outside the JSA knows. Hell, even the JSA might not know. It's literally never come up.

The best guess, it seems, is that they would give a one-time-only, free-pass, promotion to the most qualified of the sekiwake, perhaps with some performance caveats.

They'd be forced to allow Terunofuji to sit on his ass getting paid and not retiring to keep him on the banzuke if that happened, but it won't. They're desperate enough for a competent wrestler they'd let him sit out until March without recourse.

Thoughts on promotions/demotions from juryo to makuuchi?

Chiyotairyu is obviously not coming back.
Atamifuji and Terutsuyoshi are indefensible.

Going up to take their place should be Chiyomaru, Tsurugisho, and Mitoryu.

Takarafuji...miiiiiiight be saved. The sanyaku will go down to 8 men, so that means the M17 rank is back. I think if he can win he might fall to M17.
The other thing to consider is Akua. He's sitting on 10 wins at J5. Historically, that's right at the borderline between going to low M or high J. If gets 11, though, he's certainly earned a promotion.

So my thinking is that if Takarafuji wins, he'll stay. If Akua also wins, he'll probably get fucked or he'll have to hope that Enho beats Chiyomaru, then the Millennium Boulder will be 8-7 and they'll just slide him over from J1w to J1e.

I hear the jsa and everyone else who matters in his situation has expressed they don't want to separate ichinojo, everyone wants him to grow from it and rehabilitate. He obviously has a self control and alcohol problem and I personally (obviously I'm not someone close to him and in the know of the situation) I personally believe it's not too late for him to clean up his act, get some good mental health treatment, and keep wrestling.
