Ozeki Chishafuwaku scores an MK and is kadoban. Previous Ozeki Pandaazuma fails in his bid to return to Ozeki quickly but remains at Sekiwake. Since he was MK the basho before that he's clearly not up for promotion the hard way. New Sekiwake Oortael has had two good basho in a row and only needs 10 wins for promotion to Ozeki. Other new Sekiwake ScreechingOwl was MK last basho and thus is not up for promotion. I don't know if I've ever had only one player up for Ozeki promotion before, and it comes at a time that we're potentially down to only one Ozeki after next basho. If we do go back down to one Ozeki, I'll stop segregating the Makuuchi scores by top and bottom half, as that was put in place when the number of Ozeki was growing uncomfortably high (there were 7 in Haru, Natsu, and Nagoya 2024). Athenayama returns to Komusubi yet again, making 4 basho in a row at the rank. Frinkanohana also returns as Komusubi. Norizo scored just a bit too low to get to Sekiwake but comfortably earns a Komusubi promotion. Bunbukuchagama also scores a promotion with a KK at M1e.

Well, Onomatsu-beya did exist during Omisaki's tenure, but when exactly the heya opened and closed is unclear. I guess that's the reason it's not recorded in the DB. But at least the heya seems to have existed between 1904.05 and 1918.01 after looking into Ryugasaki - whose entire active career attached to Onomatsu[6], according to Takayama: https://web.archive.org/web/20150924015856/http://www.fsinet.or.jp/~sumo/profile/1/19100105.htm

Bottle got stuck?

I'm presently looking at bringing my local GTB archives up to speed (after some five years...), and I have a few questions about players: Player ID 1364 is a new entrant apparently without a name; the selection dropdown in the archives just has a space, while the Haru 2025 results on the main site say "none" (in rank 209). That's a bit awkward... Is the Hohoho from 25 years ago really the same as the one who has been playing since 2021 such that all results should be credited to a single profile? There are currently two un-disambiguated "Konishiki" in the list, one player who quickly changed to a different name a decade ago, and a new one who has been using the name consistently the last few years. Another doubled-up name is "Inazuma", briefly used by Feginowaka back in the day and by a different player in 2022. Likely the same player: 528 Andrasoyamawaka (2010.03, 2015.01) and 952 Andrasoyama (2022.07), despite the large gap in time; made the same shikona change in other games 826 ANENEMYBRAND (2021.05/.07) and 862 ANEMEMYBRAND (2021.09) 776 Demon Taka (occasionally from 2020.09 to today) and 800 Demon Taka >:3 (2021.01) 916 "intarga " (with a space at the end, 2022.03) and 940 intarga (no space, since 2022.05) Maaaybe the same player: 1048 Orandayama (2023.09 to 2024.05) and 1302 Orandanoyama (2025.01) 369 Saruwatari (2005.05 to 2011.07) and 731 Saruwatari II (2020.01 to today) - or is that an intentionally separate "second career"? Is 52 Kawika (1999.09) = 929 maeden (2022.03) like in Bench Sumo? (But does it even matter with 23 years apart...) Some old ones that I may or may not have asked about before: 209 Empi (2003.01) and 326 Empiryu (2004.11 to 2006.05) 431 Fatakiyama (2006 to recently) and 466 Fata (2007.03 only, corresponds to a gap in Fatakiyama's records) 451 Fay (2006.09, 2007.05-.09) and 462 Kotonowaka_Fay (2006.11-2007.01) 473 Seb (2007.05 to 2008.09) and 517 Sebunshu (2009.05 to 2012.05) 257 Vincentoryu (2003.11 to 2005.07) and 339 Vincentohana (2005.01 only, corresponds to a gap in Vincentoryu's records) Lastly, the pages for players whose only score was 0-15 do not display the record column (947, 1200, 1423 and several more - 840 even with two 0-15).
