Perhaps I'm the last one to notice this, as I'm not sure when exactly it happened (possibly after the new domain went online), but anyway...it seems like the Kyokai has fixed their rikishi profiles in a major way. Specifically, the full career records and highest ranks appear to be correct for ALL active rikishi now, not just for those who started in ozumo in the last few years or who are former or current sekitori.

And considering that Ichinoya is credited with two Jonidan championships (both of which must have happened quite a while ago...) I would guess that older information about lower division yusho has been fixed/added as well. Juryo debut dates for some guys who were sekitori ages ago (Tochitenko, Sumiya, recently retired Mutsuhokkai etc.) also seem to be correct now.

How do you access non-sekitori profiles from the NSK site? I know I've done it before through google, but is there a way to do so on the site itself?

To give you more specific information, Ichinoya had those yūshō in Nagoya 1989 and Hatsu 1993. In this period also fell his highest rank, Sandanme 8 West in Nagoya 1991 - make-koshi of course, 1-6.

I could have sworn his highest rank was Sandanme 5 or Sandanme 6. Can't check right now though.

You must be right, of course. I only have the full banzuke ranks and scores since 1989, and since then the highest was Sandanme 8... so I assume he was Sandanme 6 in an early tearing up of the banzuke before falling back (like Chiyotenzan or Miyabiyama... well, almost).

The entries for lower division rikishi are not linked anywhere within the NSK site, unfortunately, if that's what you mean...

Well, not through the site but by simply entering their "number". Press any sekitori link on the banzuke, and you get their profile. There's a number at the end. Change the number, you get the profile of someone else.. now, if you want the guys' numbers, I actually do have a data base..If you wish, I can send it to you-let me know. This works in English too. Amazing.

You have a database for that? Wow... (Cloverleaf...)

Not mine, as I have no idea how to compile one, save by hand. It was kindly sent to me by Kofuji, and I have been updating it every basho. By hand, of course.. There are 77 new recruits this basho, so imagine updating that by hand. And, stats are updated on the NSK site. Some rikishi who were missing stats suddenly have them, etc..

Life is life, as someone says.
