Opening Tachiai…
Between basho · 立合い
Aki 2026 is in the books. The Kyushu 2026 banzuke has not dropped yet.
East and West are two columns on one ladder. Green is kachi-koshi, red is make-koshi. Kadoban ozeki and the yusho winner are the first names most of us place.
Fujinokawa11-4 KKanto-sho
Churanoumi10-5 KKanto-sho
No ozeki on the brink.
Need 8 wins next basho or they drop.
Heavy absences

Guess the next banzuke. Comparable cases sit beside the sheet.
The current or most recent basho: torikumi, hoshitori, yusho, sansho. Look back at past tournaments.
The official ranking sheet — east and west as two columns on one ladder.

Training houses, not teams. Grouped by ichimon; each page names the oyakata.
