Yoavoshimaru 0 Posted January 21, 2003 Hello, I was who got from makuuchi debut to yokozuna rank quickest, and how long it took? (This question came about when I read the other thread on how the new sideburn king, Takanotsuru, could win this basho :-0) Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony 16 Posted January 21, 2003 I think it was Taiho : only 11 basho between makuuchi debut and yokozuna promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yubiquitoyama 4 Posted January 21, 2003 I think it was Taiho : only 11 basho between makuuchi debut and yokozuna promotion. Yep, that's true. This is the list of rikishi who entered Makunouchi after 1958.01, with the start of the 6-basho-a-year system (which I think is correct, but not certain): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Emphyrio Posted January 22, 2003 Taiho. Arguably the best there ever was. And I got to see a good portion of it live on TV in Japan. I consider myself really lucky for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
