    "the town mayor and the Sugaru sumo jinku club performed an Onosato support jinku" I wonder how Onosho felt at his retirement party when they started singing songs for Onosato - I get that Onosato is popular, but that seems a bit much

    That was a very time specific trivia point. Hakuho had 15 total Makuuchi losses against Kotooshu, Baruto and Kokkai before that, but they were all retired at that point. He also lost a bout to Tochinoshin after that posting.

    Hakuho does not just have the most Yusho, but also the most Jun-Yusho. Taiho and Chiyonofuji are not particularly close; Hakuho currently leads in the combined total by 9. In only 2 of his 47 basho as Yokozuna has he not finished at least tied for runner-up.
