most consecutive kachi-koshi

[shimodahito]

good day all,

does anyone know how i can find the list of top 10 rikishi for most consecutive kachi-koshi tournaments. i think musashimaru has the record with 52, but i'm interested in who #2 through #10 are, and if there are any active rikishi on the list.

thanks.

Juryo.com has the answer to your question here.

After this year, Asashoryu's name will be on that page with Most consecutive basho with 12+ wins with 8.

Most years with the most wins with 2, and most wins in 6 consecutive basho with who knows how many... he is 55 in 4 basho so he could be high on this list after 2 more basho, and could even top it at years end!

good day all,

asashosakari...THANKS....that's a fantastic web site.

the reason i asked the question was because i read that in this tournament a lower division rikishi had set the record for most consecutive make-koshi bashos.

How could a lower-division rikishi break this record? After at most a couple dozen consecutive kachi-koshi basho he would be a sekitori, no?

Ah, but he never did get those... Just make-koshis :-S

I feel those who already have all the fans tend to get more support for free. No more of that I say!

Go Kasuganishiki! Harunoyama for Ozeki! Tamarikido, keep on fighting! Kotokanyu - Juryo is close again! Gojoro - Your fans will never forget you! Sumanofuji - Your time is now! Kobo, Kobo, Kobo!!!

It is a truly great site-but keep in mind it hasn't been updated for a while now- since July 2003, I believe.

Is that about the time Hoshifransu-zeki left this forum?

juryo.com has nothing to with Hoshifransu. This is the site from Rowan "Wanchanyama" Klein.
