Zentoryu Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 Disclaimer: I translate this information from the Nikkan Sports Webpage. It should not be considered official. Nikkan is known to make mistakes in their kensho counts from time to time, but they usually get around to correcting them. We start with day two this basho as Nikkan sports didn't update their kensho page until today... Rikishi # Yen Tokitenku 22 1,210,000 Kisenosato 15 825,000 Tochiazuma 10 550,000 Miyabiyama 10 550,000 Kakizoe 10 550,000 Ama 8 440,000 Toyonoshima 7 385,000 Kokkai 7 385,000 Hakuho 6 330,000 Takekaze 5 275,000 It's weird not seeing Asashoryu on top of the standings, indeed it's weird not seeing him in the standings at all. There were 32 kensho placed on the Yokozuna's first two bouts, with Tokitenku taking 22 on opening day and Miyabiyama picking up the other ten today.
Zentoryu Posted March 13, 2007 Author Posted March 13, 2007 After Day 3... Rikishi # Yen Tokitenku 24 1,320,000 Kisenosato 16 880,000 Asashoryu 13 715,000 Tochiazuma 13 715,000 Hakuho 10 550,000 Miyabiyama 10 550,000 Kakizoe 10 550,000 Toyonoshima 9 495,000 Ama 8 440,000 Takamisakari 8 440,000 Kokkai 8 440,000 Yokozuna Asashoryu got his first win of the tournament and it netted him 13 kensho, pushing him into a third place tie for most envelopes won with Tochiazuma, who added three of his own against Ama. Hakuho forced out Miyabiyama for 4 kensho and Toyonoshima grabbed 2 after an oshidashi win against struggling shin-Sekiwake Kotoshogiku. Tokitenku picked up a couple of envelopes after downing Ozeki Kaio, allowing him to hold on to the top spot in the kensho race for at least one more day. Kisenosato is still in second after adding a single kensho to his total in a win over Kyokutenho. Kokkai took home one envelope from a win over Aminishiki while Takamisakari's first win of the tournament allowed him to latch on to the tail end of the lead group.
Zentoryu Posted March 14, 2007 Author Posted March 14, 2007 After Day 4... Rikishi # Yen Tokitenku 24 1,320,000 Asashoryu 23 1,265,000 Tochiazuma 18 990,000 Kisenosato 16 880,000 Hakuho 14 770,000 Takamisakari 14 770,000 Miyabiyama 10 550,000 Kakizoe 10 550,000 Toyonoshima 9 495,000 Ama 8 440,000 Kokkai 8 440,000 The Yokozuna seems to be getting back on track as he had a yoritaoshi win against previously unbeaten Toyonoshima. The win netted him another 10 kensho and he now stands only one behind Tokitenku, who lost to Asasekiryu, in the race for the most kensho. Tochiazuma is off to a good start. His fourth win of the tournament brought him another 5 envelopes and moved him into third overall. Hakuho picked up 4 and Takamisakari had his usual 6 to round out the action in the lead group.
Zentoryu Posted March 15, 2007 Author Posted March 15, 2007 After Day 5... Rikishi # Yen Asashoryu 34 1,870,000 Tokitenku 24 1,265,000 Tochiazuma 21 1,155,000 Takamisakari 21 1,155,000 Hakuho 19 1,045,000 Kisenosato 19 1,045,000 Chiyotaikai 11 605,000 Miyabiyama 10 550,000 Kakizoe 10 550,000 Toyonoshima 9 495,000 Asashoryu's third win in a row, a yorikiri victory over Ama, netted him another 11 kensho and returned the Yokozuna to his familiar position at the top of the kensho collection heap. Takamisakari won his third in a row as well, grabbing 7 kensho, while Tochiazuma remained undefeated and picked up three more envelopes of his own after a tsukiotoshi win over Miyabiyama. Hakuho picked up five and Kisenosato three from their respective day 5 victories. It took four wins, but Chiyotaikai finally makes an appearance amongst the kensho leaders for the first time this basho.
Zentoryu Posted March 16, 2007 Author Posted March 16, 2007 After Day 6... Rikishi # Yen Asashoryu 47 2,585,000 Takamisakari 28 1,540,000 Tochiazuma 27 1,485,000 Hakuho 26 1,430,000 Tokitenku 24 1,265,000 Kisenosato 22 1,210,000 Miyabiyama 13 715,000 Chiyotaikai 11 605,000 Toyonoshima 11 605,000 Kotooshu 10 550,000 Kakizoe 10 550,000 The Yokozuna continues to rebound from his poor start, realing off his fourth straight win via kirikaeshi against fellow Mongolian Kyokutenho. The bout had 13 kensho placed on it by sponsors, giving Asashoryu 47 overall. When you combine 4 straight wins with his kensho drawing power, it won't take long for Takamisakari to move towards the top of these standings. Today a yorikiri victory over Tamanoshima allowed Robocop to add 7 more envelopes to his growing collection and he now sits second, ahead of undefeated Tochiazuma and behind only the Yokozuna. Speaking of Tochiazuma, he had a pretty lucrative day himself, picking up 6 kensho after dropping Tokitenku. Hakuho added 7 against Kotoshogiku and Kisenosato 3 against Tamakasuga. Miyabiyama pulled down Ozeki Chiyotaikai with a hikiotoshi, collecting 3 kensho from the gyoji afterwards. Toyonoshima picked up a couple and Kotooshu joined the lead group for the first time this basho after a win against Asasekiryu.

Asashoryu threw down Kasugao to pick up 16, the highest number of kensho placed on one of his bouts since day one. Tochiazuma remained undefeated and added 10 kensho to his total after forcing out Kisenosato. Hakuho has won six straight after his opening day loss. The latest victory came against Toyonoshima and gave him 8 more envelopes. Tokitenku surprised Ozeki Kotooshu with a shitatenage, boosting his kensho total by 3 in the process. Ama joined the lead group for the first time since day 4 courtesy of a victory over struggling Kotoshogiku. Kakizoe received three kensho from a win over Kasuganishiki. Ozeki Kaio and Sekiwake Kotomitsuki make their first appearances in the lead group this tournament.

Tokitenku slapped down Kotoshogiku for two while Kotooshu rejoined the top-10 after handing Tochiazuma his first defeat of the tournament. Ama picked up one envelopes against Kotomitsuki and Chiyotaikai returned to the lead group after downing Kyokutenho.

Rikishi # Yen Asashoryu 103 5,665,000 Hakuho 52 2,860,000 Tochiazuma 37 2,035,000 Takamisakari 36 1,980,000 Tokitenku 29 1,595,000 Kotooshu 26 1,430,000 Kisenosato 25 1,375,000 Kakizoe 19 1,045,000 Homasho 15 825,000 Ama 14 770,000 The Yokozuna passed the 100-mark in kensho won after throwing down Kotoshogiku to earn the 13 placed on the bout by sponsors. Hakuho defeated Tochiazuma to take over sole possession of the Yusho lead. The bout between the two Ozeki attracted 10 kensho envelopes, increasing Hakuho's total to 52 for the tournament so far. Kotooshu forced out struggling Ozeki Kaio to pick up 6 envelopes, while Kisenosato recovered from his loss to the Yokozuna with a win over Futeno, adding 3 to his own total. Homasho's win over kensho machine Takamisakari moved him amongst the top ten kensho winners for the first time this tournament. Edited March 19, 2007 by Zentoryu

Asashoryu has added 36 kensho to his total over the last two days, while Yusho leader Hakuho has picked up 23.
Zentoryu Posted March 23, 2007 Author Posted March 23, 2007 After Day 13... Rikishi # Yen Asashoryu 175 9,625,000 Hakuho 93 5,115,000 Takamisakari 50 2,750,000 Tochiazuma 42 2,310,000 Tokitenku 38 2,090,000 Kotooshu 35 1,925,000 Kakizoe 26 1,430,000 Kisenosato 25 1,375,000 Homasho 25 1,375,000 Kaio 23 1,265,000 There were a lot of kensho banners seen going around the dohyo today. As usual, Asashoryu led the way with 18 envelopes collected from an oshidashi win over Ozeki Kotooshu. The battle between the two top ranked Ozeki attracted 12 kensho, which Hakuho won to bring his overall total to just 7 shy of 100. Tokitenku defeated Takamisakari with a kirikaeshi to grab the 7 envelopes usually placed on Robocop's bouts. Kakizoe added another 3 to his total courtesy of an oshidashi win over Hakurozan.

Asashoryu pulled down Hakuho to collect that large stack of envelopes from the gyoji and pull even in the Yusho race. Kotooshu's slapdown win against fellow Ozeki Chiyotaikai secured his KK and earned him another 5 kensho. Kisenosato forced out Tokitenku to grab 6, while Homasho defeated Ama for his 10th win of the tournament and 6 more kensho of his own. Kaio escaped kadoban with an easy win over Takekaze, gaining him 6 envelopes. Kakizoe picked up a single kensho for his tsukiotoshi win over Toyonoshima.

The Yokozuna pulled a surprising henka to drop Chiyotaikai and finish the tournament just 1 envelope short of 260 (assuming Nikkan got their counts right). The bout between Hakuho and Kotooshu also drew a lot of sponsor attention, as 26 kensho were placed on it. Hakuho was victorious with Sukuinage, allowing him to pass the 100 kensho mark for the second time in as many tournaments. Homasho defeated Tokitenku to increase his total by 8, while Kotomitsuki defeated Kisenosato to return to the lead group for the first time since Day 12.

Zentoryu Posted March 26, 2007 Author Posted March 26, 2007 Thanks. I was beginning to wonder if interest in this kind of thread was dying off.
