Faustonowaka

Try Waka-Taka

Fight rikishi that are closely rankend to each other on consecutive days

Kotonowaka vs Oho Their respective fathers (Kotonowaka vs Takatoriki) and grandfathers (Kotozakura vs Taiho) faced each other too on the dohyo.

Terunofuji barely wins the battle of wounded knee(s)

Tamashoho vs Atamifuji: day 14 Kyushu 2021 (last bout of the basho for both) day 1 Hatsu 2022 (first bout of the basho for both) Have two opponents (in the lower divisions) ever faced each other in consecutive matches, excluding playoffs?

A ward award. Awkward!

Just wondering: if the gyoji had noticed the hairpull in the beginning of the bout, I suppose he could have immediately stopped the match and declare Takakeisho the winner? Has such a thing ever happened before? I was under the impression they only call hansoku when a bout is allready over and when the hansoku directly lead to your opponent falling down or out

Ichinojo was robbed. The “hairpull” had no influence on the outcome of the bout

Guess he will be drinking wine in Georgia pretty soon…

+ all makuuchi ranks up to M11. Damn you Asanoyama!

The end of an era

This is really getting ridiculous

Akiseyama: only rikishi in history to do this twice: get demoted to makushita straight after getting demoted to juryo

Hakuho: 98th basho in sanyaku

With the promotion of Terunofuji guaranteed, Isegahama will be able to perform his kanreki-dohyo-iri flanked by his two yokozuna disciples
