Kensho Standings (Haru 2013)

[Zentoryu]

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. Also, Nikkan only posts the top 10 everyday, so I have no idea how many kensho someone not on that list has.

Tables still messed up...

Harumafuji	21	¥1,155,000
Hakuho	        21	¥1,155,000

Harumafuji and Hakuho open the tournament with wins, evenly splitting 42 kensho between them.

[Akinomaki]

Both yokozuna have the same - if Hakuho had been on the east that would surely be different. In Hatsu it was 40 against 19 for him on day 1. It seems HF is still not fully accepted.

Hakuho coming away with 22 kensho compared to Harumafuji's 3,

Wow... Three zensho in the last 4 basho... No respect

The race for the Makuuchi title has proven to be an anti-climatic one as Hakuho took care of business against Goeido, leaving the senior Yokozuna three wins ahead of the field with only two days remaining in the competition. The only drama left is whether this, his 24th Yusho, will be zensho or not. The victory against Goeido also netted Hakuho another 18 kensho.
