Hakuho sets new records for most career basho with at least 10 wins (58, previous record was Taiho with 57) and most career basho with at least 11 wins (56, previous record was Taiho with 55).

Hakuho overtakes Wakanosato for 6th place in career wins (905, Wakanosato has 904 wins).

Hakuho now has the longest streak of consecutive basho with at least 9 wins (49 basho). Previous best was Kitanoumi (48).

Random statistic: with his day 2 win Hakuho has the record for most wins ranked Sekiwake or above (731, previous best was Kitanoumi with 730). This is the first rank at which Hakuho has such a record.

While the guy who posted the video does make his own comments, when he's not speaking you can hear the English commentary from the channel. The commentary I was referring to was definitely the English commentary.

In the English commentary on , the commentators mention that video replay was introduced due to Futabayama's streak of 69 wins being broken due to an incorrect decision by the gyoji. I was under the impression that it was Taiho's streak of 45 wins that ended by a gyoji error, not Futabayama (Wikipedia, for example, gives this reference). Did the commentators get it wrong?

I couldn't get to these numbers... what are your data? I'm using the SumoDB and wikipedia And thanks for the info I used SumoDB, for example here. However I used the numbers for wins and losses, so it includes fusen losses. If you don't include them, Taiho is ahead (83.44% vs 82.82%)

With his win against Kotoshogiku, Hakuho's career win percentage (82.74%) exceeds Taiho (82.73%) for the first time in his career.

Would they have been scheduled to meet for Day 14 regardless of their Day 13 results? I thought the scheduling was done before the previous day's bouts.

Chiyoo has his 13th straight yorikiri bout, a win against Yakanoyama.

Chiyoo just had his 12th yorikiri on the basho, a win this time. The only other occurrence of 12 yorikiri to start a basho that I can find in the database is Masutsuyoshi in May 2009 who was also 3-9, before finishing with 3 non-yorikiri. http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Rikishi_basho.aspx?r=56&b=199905

Heh. Actually I doubt that's the reason - until now they always got it right. In fact, it was because of press reports a few years ago (almost certainly using official NSK numbers) that we first figured out that "appearances" aren't simply counted as W+L. And that's when Doitsuyama added the appearances counter to the rikishi profiles.It seems more like somebody can't read the available data correctly. I think it's likely a press error. I've seen this issue in other sports where the definition of "appearance" varies, among the public at least. When Ryan Giggs reached 1000 professional football appearances, they included his 4 matches for Great Britain at the Olympics (where the eligibility criteria is slightly different). Yet when they showed the appearance counts of other players with over 1000 games, they didn't include Olympic appearances.

3.8 = pi * (1 + 1/10)² Approximately.

Hakuho's win against Takakaze moves him past Mitoizumi into outright 11th for most career wins, with 808. Dejima and Miyabiyama never won a yusho while Ozeki (Miyabiyama never even won a yusho in Makuuchi).

Dewanishiki's birthdate is listed as July 15, 1925, so wouldn't he have been 39 years 4 months?
