Kachikoshi

Do Japanese speakers even know how to pronounce shikona? The TV broadcast always includes the pronunciation next to the kanji so I assume they do not.

In it to barely eek out a kachikoshi

Thank you for all the upgrades made to the Toto website. It’s a huge improvement! One request - would it be possible to update the rules page to reflect the current tiebreakers (the first yusho tiebreaker is now most Makuuchi bouts correctly predicted, not fewest X’s as the rules page claims).

Kosho please

If Takayasu can hold on to Komusubi with just six wins, why not have four Sekiwake?

I think UDH would really benefit from increased automation, similar to other games which run without daily manual intervention. @Tamanaogijima let me know if you would like some help setting this up.

Why is WAKATAKE still on the banzuke given he declared intai?

For the last couple decades, a 7-win record as a sekiwake guarantees a drop no farther than komusubi, but any performance worse than that has always resulted in a demotion to maegashira.

After finally earning my first kachikoshi, of course I am in.

I’ve been calling this guy Fujinowaka all tournament. It blew my mind yesterday when I realized it’s actually Fujinokawa.
