[Benihana]

Hakuho 3, Harumafuji 1, Kisenosato 2 for promotion. *BAM*

6 yushos for Mongolia!

Hakuho - 1 (January)

Harumafuji - 2 (March and November)

Terunofuji (!!!) - 2 (May and July - leading to his promotion)

Kakuryu - 1 (September)

I agree with Tenshinhan on this question:

Hakuho  3

Harumafuji  1

Kakuryu  1

Kisenosato  1

yes please

[SumpaX]

Hakuho 3

Harumafuji 2

Kise 1 (i am not a fan of him, but i feel hes about to pop his cherry)

[Oshirokita]

Hakuho 2

Harumafuji 1

Kakuryu 1

Kisenosato 1 Aki

Terunofuji 1 Kyushu (preventing Kisenosato from getting his 2nd)

[Nantonoyama]

Hakuho - 2

Harumafuji - 1

Kakuryu - 1

Terunofuji - 1

Shodai - 1

[Finngall]

Hakuho 2, Kakuryu 2, Harumafuji 1.

Kisenosato will win one, then choke badly on his tsuna run.

[Yubinhaad]

4 Yokozuna
2 Ozeki
0 Other

2 for Kakuryu
1 for Hakuho
1 for Harumafuji
2 for Kisenosato

It looks like Kakuryu is now the most stable and consistent of the three Yokozuna, which is great for him, but he won't be dominating the scene as Hakuho did. I'm hopeful that this will open the door for Kisenosato, and that he will finally be able to walk through.

Or will Hakuho win a third?  (I have been looking at a number of my 'annual polls' - and Benihana, thus far, seems to be doing better than average in most of them!)
