Kensho Standings (Natsu 2013)

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.

Hakuho	        35	¥1,925,000
Harumafuji	16	¥880,000
Goeido	        7	¥385,000
Kotoshogiku	6	¥330,000
Kisenosato	5	¥275,000
Kotooshu	4	¥220,000
Azumaryu	4	¥220,000
Kakuryu	        3	¥165,000
Baruto	        3	¥165,000
Masunoyama	2	¥110,000

Familiar names at the top of the list after the first day.

Ikioi	        4	¥220,000
Chiyonokuni	4	¥220,000

Harumafuji was surprised by Myogiryu, surrendering the 14 kensho placed on the bout by sponsors. Hakuho picked up 10 envelopes and Kotooshu 7. Daikiho appears to be popular with the sponsors this basho as his two matches have drawn 4 kensho each, with Azumaryu winning the first and Chiyonokuni the other.

[Doitsuyama]

Poor Kakuryu, an ozeki with only one loss in the shubansen not getting a single kensho - that must be borderline humiliating...

[Tsubame]

I guess it's because he is not so telegenic or mediagenic as the others are. At least in my perception it is so...

After Day 14...

Hakuho	        251	¥13,805,000
Harumafuji	125	¥6,875,000

After Day 15...

Hakuho	        314	¥17,270,000
Harumafuji	157	¥8,635,000
Kisenosato	102	¥5,610,000
Kotoshogiku	64	¥3,520,000
Goeido	        47	¥2,585,000
Kotooshu	41	¥2,255,000
Myogiryu	25	¥1,375,000
Kakuryu	        24	¥1,320,000
Chiyotairyu	16	¥880,000
Aminishiki	14	¥770,000

After losing a hard fought battle with Yokozuna on Day 14, Kisenosato entered senshuraku still with a slim chance at the Yusho providing he could defeat Kotoshogiku and Harumafuji won the clash of the Yokozuna. Neither happened and Hakuho claimed his 25th top-division title. The Yokozuna also claimed 63 kensho over the final two days, clearing 300 for the tournament. It's the first time since Aki 2012 that anyone took home more the 300 envelopes. It's also the first time in several years that there have been at least three rikishi finishing the tournament with 100 or more.
