Jejima

Are you playing Bench?

From my memory, kosho only applied for injuries during a hon-basho...... but I could be mistaken.

The 'Easy' Yokozuna?

I would love to chat sumo games - but I have not attended any of this London tournament..... and here in Tashkent, we are four hours ahead, so probably already in bed when you are doing the live page. I will check it out tomorrow though, to see who you have managed to talk to from the Sumo Forum community.

Hi all! Here is the new Bench Banzuke for November 2025 - and the first with Frinkanohana as our new Yokozuna! Hoorah! It was put together by Flohru, Sakura and Jejima. Mostly good luck this time around. A peak behind the scenes.... we think that this is probably the easiest banzuke that the banzuke makers have agreed upon (i.e. no real areas of contention / differing opinion) in the WHOLE (25+ years) history of Bench Sumo. Enjoy!

Hi all! I have received the following message from Marushiki-zeki, the chair of the Bench Sumo Yokozuna Deliberation Council.... Venerable Rijicho We the standing members of the BSYDC, have gathered to scrutinize (with an extremely fine tooth comb) Frinkanohana's performance. As a member of the BSYDC, He was absent from discussions on his own performance. (We sent him off with a few bottles of Sake to distract him - so we could get down to the deep depths of his performances and soul) We find that he has performed well over the past year or so of his Ozekidom, and have found him worthy of promotion to Yokozuna. Should our esteemed brother Frinkanohana wish to accept this promotion we wholeheartedly would like to offer the Yokozuna Tsuna to him. Marushiki Chair BSYDC Of course, the offer (as per Bench Sumo rules) is one that cannot be refused! We look forward to reading Frinkanohana's official acceptance speech. Oemetou! Jejima (BS rijicho)

New Banzuke for November 2025 Comments: Baku went (heavily) MK - and will be kadoban in November. Bunbukuchagama managed to get 10+ wins, so returns to Ozeki 'the easy way'. Fujiko missed out on promotion to Ozeki by one win, however, she needs 13 wins in November for a belated promotion. WAKATAKE needs a double digit record in November to make the move to Ozeki. If Gusoyama manages a zensho yusho in November, it should be enough for promotion to Ozeki too.
