Aonishiki's Special Streaks

Show all headers | View raw

After rising from jonokuchi to sekitori status
with every record either 7-0 or 6-1,Aonishiki
has thus far won at least 10 matches in every
sekitori basho of his career (two in juryo and
the rest in makuuchi).
As a maegashira,komosubi,and sekiwake he won
sansho every basho.(Onosato also did this
but had a 9-6 basho as sekiwake).

Now he is to be promoted to ozeki and will no
longer be eligible for sansho and the double
digit win numbers that he rode across the
"great barrier" will at last be informally
expected of him (though not necessary to
retain his rank,he will need to build on them
to yusho/doten level to win the only remaining
possible promotion).

Getting to this level while never having gone
make-koshi is rare enough...I'm not sure it has
ever been done always getting 10 or more wins
since sekitori basho became 15 matches long.

Onosato has not gone make-koshi yet but did have
9-6 basho as sekiwake and his first basho as 
ozeki,and withdrew injured at the end of this
past basho.

How long can Aonishiki keep up the streak
of 10 or more wins...and will he or Onosato
go make-koshi at any time?

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
