Apayasu 16 Posted March 25, 2019 I thought that once a kadoban finishes with make-koshi, he loses the ózeki rank and that's all. Now i read on tachiai.org that : "The big news, of course, is that we lose one Ozeki (at least temporarily) and gain another. Tochinoshin (7-8) will be ranked Sekiwake at Natsu, with a one-time shot to regain his rank with 10 victories." Is it so? Is it official, or a custom, that finishing with a "yokozuna kachi-koshi", you get back to ózeki? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fukurou 534 Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Official. If he gets 10 wins he gets an automatic promotion back to ozeki. It's a one time thing, though. If he does not get at least 10 wins in May then he is promoted/demoted where his record puts him. Edited March 25, 2019 by Fukurou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eikokurai 3,287 Posted March 25, 2019 If you want to use a diacritic, it’s ōzeki, not ózeki. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
