Makunouchi Yushos in 2026

[Jejima]

In 2025, one yushos was won by a Yokozuna, three by Ozekis, one by a Sekiwake and one by a rikishi ranked at M15E!.  

What about 2026?

Which ranks do you think will win the Makunouchi yushos in 2026?  

Please write your predictions in the comments below. 

Please also mention which rikishi (give names!) and their ranks you think will actually win the yushos (and how many).

This will be used as a tie-breaker (if needed) to decide the yusho winner for this poll at the end of the year.
