Washuyama

I'm pretty sure THAT list is long and distinguished.

... HA!! Beat you by 5 seconds!! LOL

Unless he retires, you'll also have Kotoshogiku (albeit probably in Juryo).

Kotonishiki had 34 total (21S/13K) and Hasegawa had 30 total (21S/9K)

He had the greatest shiko in his active days. His leg would go past vertical!.. R.I.P.

I guess that makes Kiribayama is a shoo-in for the yusho

Kisenosato and Kasugao, I believe...

I bet George Strait could put some lyrics to the music at the start of the video.

Dangerous phrase to use when it comes to banzuke guessing.

BINGO... They are the ONLY rikishi to have faced Hakuho more than once and be undefeated against him!

Found this and thought it was interesting: Towanoyama and Kimenryu hold a distinction that only they can claim. What is it?

I've said it before - Sumo isn't fair. Sumo is sumo. Rank has it's privileges and, for Yokozuna, that's not ever going to change. Hakuho could continue missing 3 basho a year until the NSK mandatory retirement age of 65 if he wished as long as he wins 12 or more every now and then.

Very true, but it would have been 3 Ks, but in this day and age, I didn't want to offend anyone.

I think this was on the occasion of his deshi being promoted to Juryo. I recognize Adachi/Zaonishiki on the left and Konuma on the right.

I remember that vividly. My 1st ever trip to the KK was on nakabi (the only day Kaiketsu lost that basho.)
