Sasanishiki 57 Posted October 26, 2008 From Jiji Press: Baruto at sekiwake, Goeido at komusubi - Ama is on an ozeki promotion run The Nihon Sumo Kyokai announced on the 27th the banzuke for the upcoming Kyushu basho to be held in Fukuoka from Nov. 9th. Baruto has been promoted to sekiwake and Goeido to komusubi, both for the first time. East sekiwake Ama is also challenging for a promotion to ozeki. In the yokozuna ranks, Hakuho who has won the past three tournaments is east yokozuna, while Asashoryu is on the west side. In the ozeki ranks, Kaio is at ozeki for his 50th basho, which ranks him second all-tim behind Takanohana I. It is also Kaio's 91st basho in Makuuchi, which means he holds second place all-time. Estonian Baruto got a kachikoshi last basho as a new komusubi and is ranked at west sekiwake for this tournament. Ama is at sekiwake for the sixth tournament in a row. It has taken east komusubi Goeido 24 basho since his hatsu dohyo to make sanyaku, which is the 10th fastest since the 6 basho a year schedule came into place (this excludes those who started with makushita tsukedashi status). Aminishiki returns to the west komusubi spot. New to makuuchi are Bushuyama and Aran. Bushuyama is a product of Daitou University, and at 32 years and 5 months old is the 4th oldest new promotee to makuuchi. Russian Aran has taken 12 basho to reach makuuchi, which equals Kotooshu as the fastest rise from the bottom in the 6 basho system. Koryu, Kasuganishiki and Tosanoumi all return to makuuchi. The 3 new juryo rikishi are Isenouni-beya's Yotsuguruma, Musashigawa-beya's Mongolian Shotenro and Oitekaze-beya's Daishouumi, who was formerly Mori. Wakakoyu, Tamaasuka and Sakaigawa all return to juryo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doitsuyama 1,170 Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) In the ozeki ranks, Kaio is at ozeki for his 50th basho, which ranks him second all-time behind Takanohana I. It is also Kaio's 91st basho in Makuuchi, which means he holds second place all-time. Kaio is tied with Takanohana I at 50. Chiyotaikai is first with the 59th basho at ozeki now. I am also not sure what to make of the other stat as I have Takamiyama at first with 97 makuuchi basho ahead of Terao at 93. Kaio is third, tied with Akinoshima.

Sorry, yes I mistranslated the first part in my haste. It reads that "Kaio joins 2nd all-time Takanohana I with 50 ozeki basho" The second part is perhaps explained that it is Kaio's 91st consecutive makuuchi basho. In the original: 幕内在位も史上単独2位の連続91場所に伸びた This puts him second behind Takamiyama. Again, my error for excluding that in my haste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, he had 95 basho for his entire career, and only 70 in Makuuchi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
