Kaito 276 Posted November 18, 2022 1 hour ago, Asashosakari said: I do believe that list is short of a few names. And just from poking around that list, I found there were 3 basho in 2000 where Kotonishiki and Mitoizumi were in Juryo simultaneously, but they were both kosho absent in the first, never scheduled against each other in the second, and both retired mid-basho in the 3rd, again without facing off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for the correction, I had so many tabs open and must've closed some before deciding what I would do with that info. This changes things slightly: Mitoizumi and Kotonishiki both competed in Juryo in Nagoya 2000, but they did not have a match (probably because Mitoizumi missed days 8 and 9). I've edited to show this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gurowake 4,016 Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Bushozan is currently 79-79 in Juryo as of Day 8 Kyushu 2022 with a 5-3 so far. That means if he goes 8-7 he'll have an overall losing record, but it might be enough for Makuuchi promotion from J2w. That might be reasonable if he'd ever been demoted from Juryo, but he hasn't. It's just been banzuke luck in his favor every single basho. The contemplated situation actually happened with Seiro, though I don't know if anyone else has ever had this dubious distinction. It helped him immensely to have a bunch of those losses in the same tournament while ranked high enough to not be demoted, as truly awful records tend to always get some luck compared to where they'd end up solely by the numbers.

Interesting, though with ten basho it's not an overwhelming statistical set. He's pulled minimum 8-7 KK five of those, one 7-8, a 6-9 to match a 9-6, and a 10-5 which doesn't match the 2-13 klinker. Without the 2-13 he's scoring 8 ± 1, an excitingly boring record. Awhile back I calculated how long it would take to make Sekiwake from Maezumo if you got 8-7 (or 4-3) every single basho. At that rate he's hitting san'yaku in mid-2026, unless someone in the NSK catches on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the relevant stat here is that he would have 7 KK against only 3 MK. Even with overall balanced wins and losses that's going to lead to a sizable rank jump pretty much everywhere on the banzuke except the makuuchi joi-jin and upper makushita. Seiro's run was rather more impressive with 7 KK / 5 MK. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 18,967 Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) And the exhaustive version... From makushita to makuuchi with very low juryo W-L records (consecutive tournaments, but not necessarily the rikishi's only juryo tournaments before reaching makuuchi), actual negative differentials but also near-misses (±0, +1, +2) for context. Does not include rikishi who had a 0-0-15 that didn't result in demotion, either old kosho or more recently due to Covid, unless the remaining W-L without the 15 absences still fits the parameters. Other absences are treated as losses, same as they were on the banzuke. 2 juryo basho:Tamaasuka - juryo 2011.05-2011.07, 16-14 (+2) record with 2 KK, beneficiary of yaocho scandal 3 juryo basho:Yoshiazuma - juryo 2011.01-2011.07, 23-22 (+1) record with 2 KK and 1 MK, beneficiary of yaocho scandal 4 juryo basho: nobody 31-29 (+2) or lower 5 juryo basho:Tsurugidake - juryo 2010.11-2011.09, 38-37 (+1) record with 2 KK and 3 MK, beneficiary of yaocho scandal 6 juryo basho:Sadanofuji - juryo 2010.09-2011.09, 41-49 (-8) record with 3 KK and 3 MK, beneficiary of yaocho scandalHochiyama - juryo 2010.07-2011.07, 43-47 (-4) record with 2 KK and 4 MK, beneficiary of yaocho scandal 7 juryo basho:Akiseyama - juryo 2015.01-2016.01, 53-52 (+1) record with 5 KK and 2 MK 8 juryo basho: nobody 61-59 (+2) or lower 9 juryo basho: nobody 68-67 (+1) or lower 10 juryo basho:Sotairyu - juryo 2011.05-2012.11, 73-70-7 (-4) record with 5 KK and 5 MK, beneficiary of yaocho scandal (outsized promotion from Ms to J) 11 juryo basho: nobody 83-82 (+1) or lower 12 juryo basho:Seiro - juryo 2013.07-2015.05, 87-93 (-6) record with 7 KK and 5 MKKitanokuni - juryo 1962.05-1964.03, 90-90 (±0) record with 8 KK and 4 MKBushozan - juryo 2021.03-2023.01, 91-89 (+2) record with 9 KK and 3 MK 13 juryo basho: nobody 98-97 (+1) or lower 14 juryo basho:Daihi - juryo 1979.07-1981.09, 104-104-2 (-2) record with 8 KK and 6 MK 15 juryo basho:Kyokunankai - juryo 2008.03-2010.07, 111-112-2 (-3) record with 8 KK and 7 MK, beneficiary of gambling scandal (outsized promotion from J to M) 16 juryo basho:Hoshiiwato - juryo 1986.11-1989.05, 119-121 (-2) record with 10 KK and 6 MK 17 juryo basho: nobody 128-127 (+1) or lower 18 juryo basho:Daimonji - juryo 1963.11-1966.09, 135-131-4 (±0) record with 10 KK and 8 MKHarunoyama - juryo 2001.03-2004.01 (one kosho), 128-123-4 (+1) record with 9 KK and 8 MK 19 juryo basho: nobody 143-142 (+1) or lower 20 juryo basho:Chiyoo - juryo 2013.09-2016.11, 147-146-7 (-6) record with 11 KK and 9 MK ... 23 juryo basho:Azumaryu - juryo 2015.11-2019.07, 171-174 (-3) record with 12 KK and 11 MK 27 juryo basho:Mitoryu - juryo 2018.01-2022.07 (one Covid), 196-185-9 (+2) record with 15 KK and 11 MK Should be complete.

Gurowake 4,016 Posted November 26, 2022 I couldn't find anything in this thread about the number of demoted Ozeki still on the banzuke (but below Ozeki). We will have 5 on the next banzuke if there are no retirements, and the only ex-Ozeki to continue competing recently but retired by now is Kotoshogiku, and since his retirement there have been multiple Ozeki demotions so I'm fairly sure this would be a new record, assuming that it hasn't happened in the past. Normally there aren't nearly this many Ozeki demoted around the same time that continue competing. Also of note is that both of the upper sanyaku on the next banzuke also were demoted from Ozeki at one point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am the Yokozuna 188 Posted November 27, 2022 Apologies if this has been answered, but I need some advice/help how to run a query on two things: 1) Number of yushos per heya 2) Number of yushos per heya since the current stable master has taken charge of it (if that won't be possible then would someone help me on how to narrow the query down to the last five or ten years) Apologies if this is not the right place to ask this.

That is, the effect of any given basho is to apply the results to the one AFTER next, and the next chronological banzuke was based on ranks and results from basho previous to the current one. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gurowake 4,016 Posted November 27, 2022 Also note that while it looks like he still was demoted from Makuuchi to Makushita in the above method, right then they decided the method mentioned above was stupid, and only changed the ranks every two tournaments. He was stuck at Makushita 16 due to that change, when otherwise he would have been in the middle of Juryo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
