Thanks, I was wondering who would be with a percentage record, but had no idea who to investigate.

My favorite basho in ages (that's why I came to write). I'm always stunned to see Hakuho on the receiving end of a uwatenage, as I always thought this was his trademark move. He was really out-powered by Ichinojo. By the way, if I entered my query correctly, he just took the lead in career uwatenage wins : 172 and counting, leaving Chiyonofuji at 171. (Chiyonofuji still beats him in percentage of uwatenage wins, 18% to 15%)

Kotoshogiku's yusho is a good occasion for me to register on this forum, after years of silent reading. When I started watching bashos back in 2011, I knew not many wrestlers expect big names like Hakuho, Baruto, Kaio... Soon Kotoshogiku became my absolute favorite. I really thought his explosive tachi-ai, and intense, relentless charge was a beautiful thing to see. And even now, when he's healthy and can do his thing, he's the rikishi I enjoy the most watching. It was a bit sad to see him struggling with injuries since his ozeki promotion, and not always being able to exert his awesome pushing power, but I still had some secret hope (even if would not tell anyone). I'm also really glad he took the yusho before Kisenosato, because I always thought that without injuries, Kotoshogiku would have been the better rishiki.
