6. 59 - Hakuho (37) vs Hafumafuji (22)

Harumafuji spelled incorrectly.

Also, could you move this up above the other tie for 6th?  It would look much nicer to see all the combinations of Hakuho, Harumafuji, Kotoshogiku, and Kisenosato as the first 6 listed.  It's too bad that Hakuho didn't get one more match with Harumafuji so that those six matches were all at least 60 (as well as being the clear leaders).  

[Churaumi]

Sawaisamu's numbers under the most makekoshi entry don't match the 80+ makekoshi column

In the case of the same number of matches, the pair where there is a more dominant rival gets precedent in the rankings.

All other errors have been corrected

It's astonishing to me that Kitanofuji entereded Ozumo 12 months before the NSK went to six basho per year.
