Day 1 MIA, Day 2 MIA, Day 3, Day 5, Day 5 MIA, Day 6, Day 6 MIA, Day 7, Day 7 Late, Day 9, Day 11, Day 11 Late, Day 11 MIA, Day 13, Day 13 Late ,

Based on information on absent rikishi on the NSK's website, the following sekitori rikishi will be absent on day 1 of the 2017 Haru basho (subject to change).  Day 1 absences from the remaining divisions should be announced in 24 hours or so.

As is usual with this thread, let's please try to keep it on topic. That's how it generally works, and makes it easier to find info about who is in and who is out (at this time it appears that Day 1 non-sekitori absence info will be about 20 messages down-thread due to joking around). Links to other threads where info about injuries or whatever led to someone withdrawing are usually provided.

Edit - All divisions now included

Shimpan absences: Jinmaku-oyakata ,
Gyoji absences:  Shikimori Yonokichi  (makuuchi)

So, Kaisei's 739 consecutive match streak will come to an end.  Who now will have the longest streak in the top division?

Yes, but for Hatsu '14 he missed day 15. The default loss broke the streak regardless.

Brazilian Kaisei is kyujo for the first time in his career. He injured his knee during training with Hakuhou on March 6th. Right knee meniscus. "It's not as bad as we initially thought so he may enter later.." explained his Oyakata.

Kaisei had the current longest streak at 435. The current longest streak now belongs to Moti's own, Ikioi at 390 after Hatsu 2017.

I meant, of course, consecutive career matches for those currently in Makuuchi.

OK, so Kaisei won't be back any time soon. ACL tear and meniscus injury, three months to heal.

Somewhat ironic that after Tomozuna said, "It's not as bad as we initially thought" it turned out to be worse than they initially thought. I was somewhat alarmed at his idea that Kaisei could enter the tournament later and possibly aggravate things - at least that's not going to happen now.

True, but two missed tournaments would put him in Makushita.

Two missed tournaments would also allow Kaisei to fully recover and rehab his knee. Something most sumotori rarely do. Terunofuji comes to mind.

So how is Ikioi Kintamayama's Own?

Ikioi is Kinta's favorite sumotori. Check out some of Kinta's older videos. "The Crow" still makes me laugh.

Does anyone know what is up with Maeta? He was one of the guys knocked out on the dohyo last basho, and immediately withdrew. I am assuming this absence is still related to that, but I don't think anyone heard (or at least didn't report back to this forum) what his injury was.

On the Japanese wikipedia page for Maeta it says he received a bone fracture in his face area, but the reference is in an offline sports magazine so I can't confirm past that.
