Kachikoshi

Not only has every Komusubi with a 6-9 record been demoted to Maegashira, so has every 6-9 Sekiwake.

I think the main difference is that in the 90’s there was a lot more emphasis placed on making sure those with makekoshi got big enough demotions. With that being said I took a look at the particular basho you linked and it was pretty anomalous - only 4 of the 17 maegashira ranked above Konishiki had kachikoshi, with two of the four being promoted to sanyaku.

Reports indicate that despite extensive practice from Ura, his pitch bounced before reaching the plate. https://pacificleague.com/en/news/2025/6/10040177

When was the last time (if ever) we had a basho where all 42 rikishi competed in all 15 days?

Thanks for putting this together! I thought with two yusho and some other points I would at least win a sansho, but this turned out to be a very competitive edition.

I am in. I hope to continue my role of propping up the rest of the banzuke.

15. Now surely it must be Gonoyama.

14. Gonoyama

13. Oho

12. Oho

11. Takayasu

10. Hoshoryu

9. Onosato

8. Gonoyama

I think the only change is that Andonishiki is ahead of Gurowake.
