Akinomaki 41,701 Posted September 12 As usual the most ever applied for, first time over 3000: 3108 kensho, most so far was 2955 for Hatsu. Most individual Kenshin of course for Onosato, 344, then Kotozakura with 150 and unchanged high up Oshoma with 144. More individual kensho on Onosato than all on the last bouts together, which are 326. https://hochi.news/articles/20250912-OHT1T51241.html?page=1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 41,701 Posted September 13 (edited) 4 hours ago, Heather82Cs said: I thought the Sanrio one was for the London basho. Yes, but I thought they show their support for London at the basho, as next event after the basho - and mainly PR for Sanrio of course. And the list is out now, the last 3 for Hoshoryu are Sanrio. If in the same design remains to be seen. https://www.sumo.or.jp/pdf/honbasho/kansen/torikumi/2509_01.pdf Edited September 13 by Akinomaki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 41,701 Posted September 14 A personal sponsor for Onosato, Kanazawa based landscape gardening company Kitazoen - 11 of his 1596 kensho so far this year are from them, all from the Nagoya basho. They also placed kensho Nagoya last year and decided to place kensho also this basho (I haven't found them in the list though yet) - a Tsubata town kensho. o o o kensho at the Kanazawa jungyo last month o They like to put also kensho on same town Oshoumi and hope he'll make it to sanyaku in the future - but they didn't put one on his makuuchi bout tomorrow - Oshoumi got (at least) one kensho last basho, in his first visit to makuuchi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 41,701 Posted September 14 (edited) Nagatanien lost 2 regulars, Endo demoted (and kyujo) and Takerufuji kyujo, only Atamifuji remains with the standard 3. The 2 yokozuna get 2 each, and on shonichi 2 extra bouts with 2: Hakuoho-Wakatakakage and on -Kusano. No extras for day 2. Tomorrow Takasu is in the house from the start of makuuchi (or earlier): his favorites Nishikigi and Hoshoryu get 5 each, on day 1 only Hoshoryu had 1. And the doctor has a new favorite: Aonishiki also gets 5 on his bout (vs. Atamifuji), which gives that bout as big a pack as on Kotozakura. The copy clinic Nishitan also puts 5 on Hoshoryu.

Akinomaki 41,701 Posted September 15 (edited) Good packs for Hoshoryu, he's not that far behind, and the top 3 are according to banzuke.

dingo 1,471 Posted September 15 Hmm, I thought the first day is setting a trend between the yokozuna but the second day Hoshoryu got almost as many kensho as Onosato on the first. Let's see who comes out on top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 41,701 Posted September 16 (edited) The no.3 spot for Kotozakura isn't fix yet. If both stay in, no.1 and 2 should be the same the whole basho. Oshoma at last shows up.

Akinomaki 41,701 Posted September 17 (edited) The kinboshi enhanced biggest pack of the day for Hakuoho, kinboshi in a row usually are a Hoshoryu specialty, but no triple this time. The gap was wide enough for Onosato to stay in front though - the musubi had less than the musubi-mae.

Akinomaki 41,701 Posted Thursday at 18:59 Aonishiki only was in the best 5 bouts on the first 3 days, next time when he meets Hoshoryu, Oshoma or Wakatakakage. Kirishima was not high enough in the personal kensho rankings and Aonishiki himself apparently has no personal kensho yet - but he got the Morinaga-sho again today, 3rd time on his bout, just like Onosato, and just like the yokozuna he only got it twice. Day 5 https://www.sumo.or.jp/pdf/honbasho/kansen/torikumi/2509_05.pdf １８２: Onosato １４８: Hoshoryu ６７: Kotozakura ４９: Hakuoho ４２: Kirishima ４２: Aonishiki (M) ３９: Ura ３２: Wakatakakage ２９: Hiradoumi ２６: Takanosho Day 6 has a really quite bigger back for Onosato than for Hoshoryu in the last bout, 41 vs 35 on schedule, plus likely the Morinaga-sho. A loss by Onosato and a win by Hoshoryu would bring Hoshoryu to the top, but only by a margin of 1. Onosato has to wait 3 days before he can afford the next loss. Aonishiki can only get 4, 3 fix for Takayasu and a wandering kensho, a bout with winless Takayasu is not likely to attract the Morinaga-sho .

Akinomaki 41,701 Posted Saturday at 10:03 (edited) Onosato soon can afford 2 more losses and still stay in front. Oshoma may again drop out of the rankings, 4 in 3 out so far Day 7 https://www.sumo.or.jp/pdf/honbasho/kansen/torikumi/2509_07.pdf ２７７: Onosato ２０５: Hoshoryu ８３: Kotozakura ６４: Hakuoho ５５: Aonishiki (M) ５３: Ura ４２: Kirishima ３９: Wakatakakage ３６: Oho ３５: Oshoma Day 8 the 3 from Sanrio are back, but on Kotozakura now. All 3 Y/O have 5 from Tama Home, else only 1 on Kirishima-Wakamotoharu. Aonoshiki is down to 2, but even with sponsorless Tamawashi his bouts at least attract some. Nagatanien found a new favorite: Ura has 2 on his bout, which always has the Urararara triple kensho at the end of the parade - in the news pics nearly every day, so people look out for this parade - Nagatanien as always at the start. At last Hoshoryu has about the same number in his last bout as Onosato in the one before, one more on schedule, but Onosato-Hiradoumi will likely get the Morinaga-sho, on day 6 it was on Kotozakura-Hiradoumi, and Kotozakura only has Takayasu on nakabi.

Akinomaki 41,701 Posted Sunday at 09:49 Same number for the yokozuna = Morinaga-sho for Onosato, as expected. Kirishima is about to drop out of the rankings, if he goes on like this, also from his rank.

Akinomaki 41,701 Posted yesterday at 09:56 (edited) Mita gets the popularity votes, but he got no kensho for his makuuchi win, Fujiseiun had more luck, same 2nd bout with no fix kensho, but opponent Sadanoumi has one kensho fix. Oshoumi is in a different league: in the kensho connected heya with top Oshoma, 3 from one sponsor on his bout, and on top lucky to be in the first, with the Mochikichi kensho, plus Shishi has 1 fix kensho as well: 5 kensho for the makuuchi visit. Both Kirishima and Wakatakakage are about to drop out of the rankings - and I guess one will lose his rank Day 10 https://www.sumo.or.jp/pdf/honbasho/kansen/torikumi/2509_10.pdf ３９３: Onosato ３０９: Hoshoryu １２０: Kotozakura ８１: Hakuoho ６９: Oshoma ６８: Oho ６６: Aonishiki ６０: Ura ５７: Wakatakakage ５５: Kirishima Day 11 Nagatanien stays on both Kotozakura and Shodai, who starts his sanyaku tour with Aonishiki.

Akinomaki 41,701 Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Nobody below has enough kensho to push Kirishima and Wakatakakage out of the rankings, rather those close lost as well. Oshoma at last is where his personal kensho ranking puts him.
