Well, i'm not winning GTB, that's for sure.

[Asashosakari]

Arawashi (M12e 8-7) ahead of Ishiura (M8w 7-8), but Sadanoumi (M14e 8-7) behind Daishomaru (M11w 7-8)...sure, why not.

Puzzling placement of Chiyonokuni and Takarafuji relative to one another, too.

And Endo even lower than my (so I thought) aggressive demotion to M13e.  Hype honeymoon over for good?

I had Ichinojo in the right place, but the other 7-8s have strange positions - as you alluded to.

I had Arawashi ahead of Ishiura and Sadanoumi behind Daishomaru, but not in the right slots. But when you put it like that I must have been taking whatever the committee had to come up with it. I had Endo at M13w, for what it's worth. 

I'm also surprised to see Tokushoryu not at M16, since he seemed to be only half a rank from demotion.

[Yubinhaad]

A short list of shikona changes this time, with the four teenagers from the lower divisions all giving up their surnames and adopting their first proper shikona. Actually, in Wayama's case the middle kanji of Musashigawa-beya in inserted into his surname to produce Wagurayama. Meanwhile, Yanagawa's new shikona takes the first kanji of Odake-beya and adds his given name Tatsuki, with the reading altered to Ryuki.

J11e Chiyoo > Chiyonoo (千代ノ皇)
Sd67e Kobayashi > Kaishu (海舟)
Sd75w Wayama > Wagurayama (和蔵山)
Sd92w Mibu > Amatsukasa (天司)
Jd98w Yanagawa > Dairyuki (大竜輝)

One other note, Isenoumi-beya's Jonokuchi yobidashi Daiki has called it quits already, having entered only in March.

Really impressive that Enho is Sandanme 18W.

[Benihana]

Bad beat for Myogiryu and Aminishiki. A 10-5 at J4 normally guarantees a promition (only 5 times where a J4 landed at J2, 16 times J1). The last time a J4 had to stay with 10-5 was Wakanoyama 1999.03. And it never happened to J4E and J4W at the same time. Well, on the other side...another record for the old man.

To provide a proper front bookend to the later basho coverage: the sekitori in the lower divisions.

Keitenkai has reached the 5-year mark since his ill-fated two days as a juryo rikishi. It's not quite Towanoyama-in-makuuchi levels of tragic, but it's pretty close. Meanwhile, Kitataiki finds himself unsalaried for the first time in 61 tournaments.

Birthdays: August saw Amuru turn 34 and Jokoryu 29, while Daishoho gets 23 candles today (Monday). Kaonishiki will turn 39 on Day 5 of the tournament, and Wakanoshima will be 33 late in September after the basho has concluded.

The numbers in brackets are the rikishi's age and the number of basho he has spent since his last sekitori appearance. Rikishi in bold-face type have makuuchi experience.

Thank you for saving me (among others) from having to look all these guys up.

Tochinoshin once again so close, yet so far away

[Bumpkin]

I just noticed that Takagenji is an ex-sekitori at age 20. When was the last time someone that young or younger was an ex-sekitori?

If my calculations are right, Ononkuni was 19 and an ex-sekitori.

Onosho was also an ex-sekitori at 19 (May 2016).

Tough luck for Aminishiki and Myogiryu. They just have to duke it out again in Juryo and hopefully they can duplicate what they did in July.

Yoshikaze

 - Oldest sekiwake promotion since the Showa era

Oldest promotion by somebody born since Showa, specifically. Per the Kyokai's banzuke topics there were four older modern-era promotions by rikishi born in Taisho, so Yoshikaze is fifth overall.

1 Nayoroiwa 1953.01, 38y 3m
2 Kitanonada 1960.07, 37y 4m
3 Dewanishiki 1962.09, 37y 1m
4 Tamanoumi 1959.01, 36y 0m
5 Yoshikaze, 35y 5m
6 Takekaze 2014.09, 35y 2m (debut)
7 Aobajo 1983.07, 34y 7m (debut)
8 Hajimayama 1956.03, 33y 10m (debut)
9 Tokitsuyama 1959.01, 33y 9m
10 Aminishiki 2012.03, 33y 4m 24d

Next may be Tsurugamine, who was 33y 4m plus/minus a couple of days (not sure when the banzuke release was) in the same basho as 3rd-place Dewanishiki.

Hrm, I couldn't help but think:

"Chiyoo?" "Chiyo-NOO!!!"

Any reason given for Chiyoo's shikona change?

I hope Aminishiki can do it. I'd like to see him get back to Makuuchi again

Aki Basho Banzuke

 

[Burajirotono]

Kaisei is back biotches; vai Brasil porra!

I was hoping to see Tochinoshin in sanyaku again, the man is strong and is getting more and more experienced; bulldozer-yutso. With Kakuryu, Kisenosato, Harumafuji and Terunofuji in bad shape he have a golden opportunity in Aki. Mitakeumi, Takayasu and Hokutofuji too.

Cant wait
