    Trivia bits

    Couple random things while I was digging that caught my eye. Sadanoyama: Natsu 1961 - Lost to a Juryo rikishi, but won the Makuuchi yusho. Takatoriki: Haru 2000 - Faced a Juryo rikishi and 2 Yokozuna in the same basho.

    Yeah Shonannoumi was probably the biggest surprise near the top. Takayasu is a crafty vet that can do a bit of everything, so I'm not shocked by that. Onokatsu has a whopping 67.9% of his wins by yorikiri, that's why he's down there. Also just for fun: The nephew leads the uncle by a whopping 2 points lol. Any rikishi in lower divisions or the past that come to mind for curiosity? I wonder who has the highest of all? Can anyone beat Ura? EDIT: Nvm, the other Tzutaezori king Asakiryu down in Sandanme: RKI = 835.

    Fun experiment I thought I'd try; call it the 'rare kimarite index'. Take each rikishi's wins, divide it by how often the kimarite occurs, do that for each kimarite, then average it out. For example, if a rikishi won all 100 of their matches by Yorikiri, and in all of Ozumo yorikiri accounts for 25% of wins: 100 (number of yorikiri wins) / 0.25 (average occurance of yorikiri) / 100 (total number of rikishi's wins): RKI = 4. The results for the most part I think align with intuition.

    Bout-Length Natsu 2025

    Once again the title of longest time spent on dohyo goes to Ryuden at 338.2s, Roga was a close second 328.1s, 3rd place goes to Tobizaru at 240.1s. Shortest times are rather unsurprising bunch: Hiradoumi 62s, Onosato 62.3s, Takerufuji 67s.

    GTB meta banzuke format

    Hmm actually using something other than Firefox sounds familiar, possibly was the solution last time...

    Breaking it down by day. Interesting pattern. Not sure it's just a day 1-12 vs 13-15 divide. That is interesting with the recent change. I noticed that in Makuuchi vs Juryo bouts also, with Makuuchi faring better starting ~ the same time.
  8. Now presenting... another unsolicited attempt at a GTB meta-banzuke, complete with most if not all the things you hate about real banzukes! This would be Natsu 2025 (so not taking into account the most recent basho). I have all new players starting with a TD equivalent to the last spot on the banzuke. Never had any issue with that before, but needless to say with 100+ new players, the bottom got a little crowded. Also this fashionable meta-banzuke is presented with abhorrently unfashionable double spacing because I can't get the forum to cooperate.

    GTB meta banzuke format

    No I don't want to paste it as a god dang image! Maybe I have to quote myself, was that the solution? Have it formatted in excel, need to paste it with format maintained... Grrr in my frustration I forgot to save... Pasting it in LibreOffice Writer then copypasting here almost works, just need to get rid of the double spacing... Nope pasting as html freezes the browser...

    Why do head to head matchups of Juryo .vs. Makushita rikishi tend to strongly favor the Makushita rikishi? Juryo vs Makushita since year 2000: 803-935 Inidividual yearly record in spoiler

    June 9, 2025 - Hail the GOAT!

    Do we really need all these fancy acronyms? Can't we just call him Hakuho? He Always Kept Uwatenage'ing His Onigiri

    Ura on the ball

    That look on his face is just so Ura lol. I am a bit disappointed though in that I pictured him as more of a submarine knuckleball thrower.

    Yokozuna Onosato

    Bit of trivia that maybe puts the Onosato speedrun records vs the 'yeah but he started late' debate in a bit of context? Number of Yusho each Yokozuna (since the 6BPY era) won before their 25th birthday. Takanohana - 17 Taiho - 16 Asashoryu - 13 Hakuho - 12 Kitanoumi - 11 Akebono - 7 Onosato - 4 Hokutoumi - 3 2 - Wakanohana (II), Sadanoyama, Kashiwado 1 - Terunofuji, Hoshoryu, Musashimru, Onokuni, Wakanohana (I), Wajima, Tamanoumi, Kitanofuji, Tochinoumi 0 - Kisenosato, Kakuryu, Harumafuji, Asahifuji, Futahaguro, Takanosato, Chiyonofuji, Mienoumi, Kotozakura

    Natsu 2025 discussion (results)

    I think Takerufuji, like Onosato, relies much more on athleticism than technique. Where the two trajectories diverged is that Takerufuji got injured, and Onosato learned how to sumo. Speaking of injuries, is there any update on Ichiyamamoto? Looked like a broke a finger or hand on day 15?

    That's ok, at least we only have 9 more basho before Kusano becomes Yokozuna.
