*For those who are not familar with Banzuke Gai concept, if a Jonokuchi rikishi goes on kyujo and does not compete in not even one bout, he will fall off to Banzuke Gai. That is if he has a record of 0 wins 0 loss 7 kyujo, he will go into Banzuke Gai. Exception is when a record is 0 win 1 loss 6 kyujo and the loss is Fusenpai (in a way it's the same thing as he did not compete and did not show).
