WAKATAKE

The Kokutai national tournament is in October, which he is probably going to compete in. That is the last tournament in which third year high schoolers are able to compete. He probably wants to get underway immediately after that.

Since this thread: http://www.sumoforum.net/forums/topic/36895-ex-yokozuna-taihous-grandson-arriving/ and this article: https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/1876594.html confirm that Naya Kounosuke will be entering Otake beya and will make his debut in Kyushu 2017, you can most likely change the title of thread now.

That is the current top 3 and so far the only three over 1000, I don't think I'm going to find anybody in the lower two divisions with 1000 or more. Next up, the jonidan division!

Yes that reading is correct. So he's joining Kotokamatani in the grandsons of yokozuna club.

He barely does sonkyo during shikiri. Gotta wonder how his knees are doing holding all that weight. He apparently wasn't "trying" to break the record. He takes walks around the heya, and has changed his eating habits. Before he used to eat 50 orders worth of yakiniku from the local BBQ place, plus four orders of ramen-don and six orders of regular ramen. "I eat at lunchtime but don't really eat a lot in the evening." When asked what his former shisho Kitanoumi-oyakata (who passed away in 2015) might think of his new record, he responded, "He'd probably say 'BAKAYARO'" Reflecting on some memories with Kitanoumi: "He used to take me to the sauna and we would walk together. I probably don't have much longer as an active rikishi, but I will ganbaru." https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/1876239.html

If they both do not miss a match between Aki 2017 and Nagoya 2018 (and if Yoshiazuma does not make it back to Juryo during that time), then they will end up tied at 1106. Tamawashi needs 17 basho to get into that coveted 10th place and go from there.

Found this while doing other work: http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Rikishi_basho.aspx?r=2919&b=200803 Daishowaka's hoshitori doesn't seem to have been inputted correctly for Haru 2008, as he is missing one kuroboshi from his hoshitorihyo.

The kanji "拓" should read "taku" for Takushoku University. I don't know of any high schools with that kanji, so hopefully that narrows things down for you.

This had been requested in the Makuuchi consecutive match tracker thread, so I'm going to go ahead and tackle it. I won't do sekitori tracking unless someone is able to find out who the top 10 all time sekitori leaders are, so that will be for another time. I will be posting by divisions, since going through all six will take a while. Thanks to Excel I'm able to input and then sort out by numbers, and will post an active top 10 once all divisions have been posted. Bolded rikishi have perfect attendance. Rikishi with an asterisk "*" have retired after the basho. All numbers are according to SumoDB. Thanks for reading, enjoy!

And with Harumafuji needing possible surgery on his elbow, that's all we need to have four yokozuna on the banzuke but only one possibly finishing the basho if the injured ones decide to come back prematurely in Aki and then have to withdraw again. That's one thing the NSK doesn't need right now for sure.

Taiho beya becoming Otake beya is another example of the ichidai-toshiyori retiring and the name changing.
