Sumo Reference Updates

[Muhomatsu]

Does the sumo reference database have a list of the NHK rikishi ID for each of their individual pages, or does anyone know where such a list may exist?

[Asashosakari]

A few rikishi's W-L records appear to be missing the senshuraku result again.

[Sumozumo]

I also want to report that in the 1926 Natsu banzuke there is a wrestler named '3-3' with the result Nadanohana, and Iwakiyama looks accidentally sumodb banzuke gai

[Asameshimae]

Yeah, Teru being one of them still. No final day record or yusho or kanto sho listed.

Of course I can see somebody jumping up and down excitedly when yesterday's excitement all came to a head and forgetting to finish the scores. No hurry. :)

[Asashosakari]

Apparently the Kyokai site late-fixed a Day 4 result in jonidan: Kawamoto-Sorakaze shows as a Kawamoto victory on the DB, but actually Sorakaze was the winner (also confirmed by their subsequent bout assignments). Their overall records got fixed automatically already, but the Day 4 interim record is wrong for both (Kawamoto, Sorakaze), and so are the shiro/kuroboshi markers.

Nothing of importance, but I just noticed, that Osunaarashis change of writing his 'first' name 金太郎 -> 金崇郎 per Kyushu 2014 is still not reflected in the DB.

[Asashosakari]

Looks like the DB grabber choked on a few sekitori results again (possibly also lower divisions, impossible to tell just by looking at it). Kakuryu-Goeido, Kotoshogiku-Ichinojo and Yoshikaze-Seiro are missing.

Edit: And on Day 15 Seiro-Homarefuji, Takayasu-Sadanoumi and Ikioi-Ichinojo.

Just to add that the DB isn't 1 match off, but 2 match results off for Ichinojo and Seiro.

According to Asashosakari's 25 July message there was a grabber problem involving at least 6 rikishi. While Kakuryu, Goeido, Kotoshogiku, and Yoshikaze results were corrected (at some point), Ichinojo and Seiro were not. Then day 15 happened, the grabber problem happened again and included Ichinojo and Seiro matches again, and so their results ended up not 1 but 2 matches off.

Not quite. Their total records are correct (they were overwritten automatically with the final scores), but the interim results for Day 14 are still wrong.

Gotcha. I was looking at the records on the banzuke table and then on the individual rikishi pages from that table. For those rikishi, the overall record for this basho was off where it was written in text, but counting the circles indicating match results appear to give the correct records (have not cross-checked with the NSK page).

Just noted this myself in case for Kakuryu and wanted to file a bug... You already did.

and kyokutenho retired.

DB question:

If a rikishi participates in mae-zumo at one stable and then moves to a new stable (branch-out) for his first basho on the banzuke, does (or should) his listing show the mae-zumo heya?

Yes it certainly should... do you have a certain case in mind?

Takahashi (Hisanohana) is listed at Tagonoura Beya only and competed at mae-zumo in January 2000. The kabu history for Tagonoura shows the branch-out from Dewanoumi Beya happening on February 1, 2000, which implies that Takahashi competed out of Dewanoumi Beya for his first basho. (Sorry for the exhaustive detail, but I'm just trying to think it through myself)

Miyagawa is listed at Arashio Beya only and competed at mae-zumo in May 2002. Arashio branched out of Tokitsukaze Beya on June 1, 2002 so Miyagawa started at Tokitsukaze Beya.

[Asashosakari]

Heh, that's something I'd been meaning to check for years... Might as well now.

A few more cases:

Azumazeki - Takaminobori & Takamiwaka hatsu-dohyo 1986.01, branch-out from Takasago-beya 1986/Feb/02 (first basho affected)

Irumagawa - Hoken & Kotsukasa & Kuwayama hatsu-dohyo 1992.11, branch-out from Kasugano-beya 1993/Jan/29 (first two basho affected)

Minezaki - Minezakura & Sakaguchi hatsu-dohyo 1988.03, branch-out from Hanaregoma-beya 1988/Dec/01 (first five basho affected)

Oguruma - Terukaze hatsu-dohyo 1986.11, Hayate & Hidekaze & Okaze & Shofu hatsu-dohyo 1987.03, branch-out from Sadogatake-beya 1987/Mar/23 (first three basho / first basho affected)

Oitekaze - Daishodai & Hayateumi hatsu-dohyo 1998.03, branch-out from Tomozuna-beya 1998/Oct/01 (first four basho affected)

Onomatsu - Onowaka hatsu-dohyo 1994.03, branch-out from Oshiogawa-beya 1994/Oct/01 (first four basho affected)

Nakadachi (later Sakaigawa) - Toshoka hatsu-dohyo 1998.05, branch-out from Dewanoumi-beya 1998/May/25 (first basho affected)

Shikihide - Shikinohana & Shuho hatsu-dohyo 1992.03, branch-out from Tokitsukaze-beya 1992/May/01 (first basho affected)

Shikoroyama - Teraofuji & Toofuji hatsu-dohyo 2004.01, branch-out from Izutsu-beya 2004/Jan/27 (first basho affected)

I only checked currently active stables and only those founded since the late 1980s, so almost certainly not complete. Surprising that the Oitekaze duo slipped through for so long.

---

By the way, the exact Minezaki-beya and Shikihide-beya founding dates (= Misugiiso departure from Hanaregoma-beya, and Oshio departure from Tokitsukaze-beya) can be added to the kabu side of the DB...we didn't have those pieces of info yet back when we compiled the lot, but Sensho's juryo debut a few years ago and Arawashi's makuuchi debut last year finally provided them.

I think you need pictures of more of the sumos for example: Osunaarashi went undefeated for so long, got a wikipedia page before maegashira AND just got a new high rank AND theres still not picture of him on the db.

[omgitssumo]

I just checked the Natsu banzuke with the "highlight foreigners" option as I was curious what color Homarenishiki aka Brody would get, but no color has been assigned yet. My guess would be that it will be red.... and no, this isn't meant to be another micro Sumo game ;-)

Kototenta, the other Canadian also doesn't have a color - unless the color is ivory or transparent...

i checked the source code (sorry) and it said class="canada"

[Akinomaki]

Azumaryu changed his shusshin in Mongolia from Ulan-Bator to Gobi-Altai.

[Doitsuyama]

Homarenishiki isn't highlighted as a foreigner

Yes, the CSS for Canada was missing. I made it the official colour code of the Canadian flag now.

Thanks, I added that info to his page.

Just go to the Picture Banzuke, that's easy to see then. Actually if you do have a sekitori picture in Public Domain or rights granted to use it in Sumo Reference, I'm happy if you can send it to me.

[Randomitsuki]

Just a minor glitch: on the Sansho page, lots of rikishi were awarded their 0th sansho.
