Overall, 43 foreigners on the current banzuke. Last basho we were at 42, which was the lowest number since March 2002 September 2001!

Ichinojo
"I think that is normal: I want to reach yokozuna in the future."
"I want to go to makuuchi in one basho as well. I'll do my best to catch up with Endo."

On each picture Ichinojo looks like he has been doing this for 25 years. Very promising.

[Usagi]

He will hit the wall in Makuuchi. He hasn't got the skilla in movement and technique to become Ozeki someday. My guess.

[Jakusotsu]

I don't know why, but everytime I watch Ichinojo fight, I think of Kotonowaka.

[Akinomaki]

Ichinojo will just turn 21 next month and is in ozumo in his 3rd basho in Natsu - maybe the youngest among those who were that fast to sekitori: he might improve yet in many aspects.
I don't know what the maezumo record for Kyushu is for on his page: http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Rikishi.aspx?r=12107
I don't think that should count as a career basho and let him have one additional (maezumo) basho on his record.

[Doitsuyama]

True, mae-zumo makes no sense for him. But his Hatsu dohyo WAS Kyushu 2013 and a rank for him is neccessary for the database. Maybe simply banzuke-gai is better.

[Asashosakari]

This is where I have to bring up that the Kyokai actually adjusts the hatsu-dohyo after the fact for all the "delayed" foreigners, e.g. Narantsogt's profile currently says March 2014, but this will change to May 2014.

As there are no other rikishi in the DB with a debut basho as banzuke-gai (I think?), would it be possible to adjust these rikishi to have Bg for the first basho, and have the basho counter only start with the second tournament? Or does that break the DB architecture?

...

Takanoyama (Mk3e, 4-3, Tagonoura)

Glad to see Takanoyama has 15 chances for surprising victory instead of 7 again. :) Go, Takanoyama! :)

[Pippooshu]

When has been closed the Naruto? Why? All the former Naruto rikishi are in Tagonoura now? Kisenosato, uncle Waka and the czech hero only? :-)

[Naganoyama]

On Christmas Day last year former Takanotsuru switched from the Naruto name to Tagonoura and the stable name therefore changed.
