Since if everything goes off without a hitch we're expected to get what is only our second bout between Yokozuna this entire decade, here's an admittedly rudimentary comparison between the same basho in the other decades of the six basho era. With the arbitrary cutoff point of the Nagoya basho of the sixth year in each decade. 1960s - 36 bouts 1970s - 37 bouts 1980s - 49 bouts 1990s - 19 bouts 2000s - 15 bouts 2010s - 25 bouts 2020s - 1 bout

Oh! I never saw your reply, I'm terribly sorry. Which ones do you not have?

No, it's only likely these days.

Gans' hoshitori site has Osaka banzuke, but only the names and ranks in a digitized format and not the actual paper scan as far as I know. I know of nothing about Kyoto sumo.

Hello, this may well be against the rules or posted in the wrong thread, so I apologize in advance if so. I have a few, not many, Sumo World Magazines from the 80s and 90s, and as Ebay is currently out of the question for me, and I live in the United States where not many people are interested to begin with. I have very little experience selling things online so if anyone knows a good website to do so and about how much they should be priced I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you! :)

However Tamawashi, our sole remaining Jomon survivor, just won himself a nice Jun-Yusho.

Hmm... Oginohana and Oginishiki? Also it's not father-son, but the Onami brothers' grandfather was Komusubi Wakabayama. Kotoeko's dad was a Juryo, if I remember correctly...

What exactly defines 'in a row', here?

Onosato is still not listed as "75th Yokozuna Onosato Daiki", and he is also ranked as a Y1w as opposed to Y1wYO.

Impossible. They don't promote more than one rikishi at a time anymore. For example, see where Takayasu is this time around.

Was Kakuryu's father there or was that a coincidence?

I think it's to give people an opportunity to guess themselves.

That's Asofuji's kesho mawashi iirc. Looks far too young to be him though.

So even still, he leads the pack compared to anyone who isn't a true dai-yokozuna or Akebono. As an aside, it amazes me that Chiyonofuji hadn't won a single Yusho by the time he turned 25. Perhaps we could also see how many Yusho each Yokozuna won after their 25th birthday?

Am I missing something? I'm not aware of how Kasuganishiki relates to this as he certainly has nothing to do with the banzuke making process, and I can't find a single instance on his record of getting a demotion worthy score yet staying in Juryo. If anything, looking at his record brings back fond memories of a time when rikishi were demoted more than a rank and a half for a bad makekoshi.
