Je suis devenu sekitori lors du troisième tournoi de ma carrière! On peut toutefois dire que je n’ai pas été à la hauteur des espérances placées en moi. J’ai remporté des kinboshi – toutes lors du même tournoi, à l’issue duquel un ozeki a été promu au rang de yokozuna.
Mon premier passage en san’yaku se termina par un résultat de 6-9. Mon deuxième passage fut en revanche bien plus long.
Je partage un record inhabituel avec l’ancien sekitori Kotonishiki.
Je suis né dans la région de Nagano un 25 décembre. Je suis…
2020 is about to vanish. Can 2021 be even more exciting, from a sumo point of view? Before having thought on the coming year, and waiting anxiously for the latest sanitary reports, let’s have a look back at what happened in 2020. Did our predictions become true, or were they off target ?
1. Will Takayasu be an ozeki by the end of 2020 ?
My prediction : no
Unfortunately, Takayasu’s injury, sustained during a bout against Tamawashi, proved fatal for his ozeki rank. He started 2020 as an ozekiwake, needing 10 wins to reach sumo’s second highest rank. He could grab just six wins, and, more worryingly, it looked like he’d head straight to juryo, following a kyujo in March.
It took Takayasu some time to settle – and perseverance paid off. Remarkably, Takayasu convincingly moved back to san’yaku, following two double digit wins basho, and successfully kept a slot in san’yaku in November.
If it’s doubtful he’ll regain the ozeki rank, Takayasu can now look upwards.
Was the prediction correct? Yes
2. Will Goeido be an ozeki by the end of 2020 ?
My prediction : no
Goeido started 2020 being kadoban, for the ninth – and last – time. That’s quite a lot, for the Osaka-fu born rikishi’s five and a half year spent as an ozeki. He previously managed to get out of perillous situations, such as in November 2015, where a last day win enabled him to barely hold his rank (8-7; 7-8 in September).
In July 2016, he missed his kashi koshi by just one win (7-8). The following tournament, he won a stunning zensho yusho. Remarkably, he almost repeated that story one year later (7-8 in July, 11-4 playoff loss in September).
But this time, Goeido could not find the necessary energy to bounce back. He finished 2019 with a 0-2-13 record, and could get just five wins in January. The last win of his career came against another former ozeki – Tochinoshin.
Now Tatekuma oyakata: former ozeki Goeido
Was the prediction correct? yes
3. Will Asanoyama become an ozeki in 2020 ?
My prediction : yes
To say the least, Asanoyama had put solid foundations for a serious ozeki quest, as early as last year. After his surprise yusho in May 2019, it took him just one basho to settle in the joi (he went 7-8 in Nagoya), and, at the exception of the very last basho, has continuously earned double digit wins since! 10-5, 11-4, 10-5, 11-4, 12-3 and 10-5 records were more than enough, not only to seal the deal, but to prove that it was no fluke.
One question mark, however, will remain at the beginning of next year: did his body recover from last basho, in order to erase a surprise kadoban status? Let’s hope he’s on his way back to full fitness.
Was the prediction correct? yes
4. Will someone else reach the ozeki rank in 2020 ?
My prediction : no
Here came the first mistake, but, arguably, it was hard, came 2020, to imagine Shodai as an ozeki candidate. 2019 was doubtlessly a year to forget for him, as Shodai only earned two kashi koshi (10-5 in May, 11-4 in November), compared to four losing records, and sometimes ugly ones (he went 0-9 in March, and ended up 3-12 in September).
So, Shodai’s sumo improved dramatically. 2020 started in a convincing, but also disappointing fashion – he snatched thirteen wins in January, but missed out the yusho during a nervy bout againstthe eventual winner, Tokushoryu.
That miss could prove too much for many rikishi, but Shodai wasn’t having any of it – after a forgettable 8-7 in March, Shodai earned two more double digit win basho in a row, making it four out of the last five. More importantly, he finally got a yusho, which was key to a deserved ozeki promotion.
Alas, just like Asanoyama, the shin ozeki started that new chapter of his career with an injury – health reports have not been particularly encouraging. Can he, too, salvage his rank?
A surprise new ozeki in 2020
Was the prediction correct? no
5. How many yokozuna will remain after 2020 ?
My prediction : one
This one could easily have gone either way. Both Mongolian grand champions were asked to show up in November – and both went full kyujo instead. Hakuho and Kakuryu got a welcomed reprieve, being ‘only’ warned shortly after the end of the basho. But this time, the board won’t tolerate a new absence – both yokozuna are in a make or break situation.
Hakuho’s year was salvaged by his yusho in March. Kakuryu, on the other hand, has been unfit most of the time, and actually seldom fought in 2020. But managed to hang on, but for how long?
Was the prediction correct? no
6. Will Terunofuji compete in maku’uchi in 2020 ? Where will he end up this year ?
My prediction: Terunofuji to finish the year in juryo after a stint in maku’uchi.
Well, that prediction couldn’t have been more off target. Of course, the Mongolian knees are, according to his own statements, ticking time bombs. This year’s “not-so basho” actually saw Terunofuji go kyujo without collecting one single win – thankfully for him, that was only a prediction. Instead, the former ozeki took full advantage of the four months break, and celebrated an incredible comeback with a surprise yusho win in July.
Still, his problems aren’t behind him – he went kyujo before the final act of the September basho. But 2020 has in any case been a huge success for him and for his stablemaster, former Asashifuji, who was brought into tears after this summer’s success.
Was the prediction correct? no
7. Where will Ichinojo finish the year ?
My prediction: Back to the maegashira ranks.
Ichinojo is a hugely talented sekitori who doesn’t deserve to sit that low on the banzuke. The Mongolian has managed to bounce back to makuuchi, but, dear, that was painful.
Ichinojo’s promising career has been severely hampered by serious back problems – and he is still looking like a pale copy of his previous self. He started the year with just six wins, and found himself closer to makushita than to makuushi. From there, the big Mongolian got four kashi koshi in a row – but four meagre ones: 9-6, 9-6, 8-7 and 8-7. His status in sumo’s first division has been questioned all the way: he got a vital kashi koshi on senshuraku in September, and went 2-7 in November – he managed to successfully resolve the equation both times. Let’s hope he’ll get some respite in 2021.
Back in makuuchi: Ichinojo Takashi
Was the prediction correct? yes
8. Will Enho stay in maku’uchi in 2020 ?
My prediction: After a san’yaku stint, he’ll end up safely in maegashira ranks.
From Enho’s very first makuushi bouts, the question has almost unanimously been: when will the “Enho effect” vanish? The Miyagino resident started the year with yet another hard fought, minimal kashi koshi, but his diminutive body means he can’t afford to carry any injury. Alas, Enho’s path has been painful to watch since, as his shoulder seemed to bother him. An ugly 3-12 result in November means Enho will start 2021 back in juryo – a second makuuchi promotion would be all the more expected.
Was the prediction correct? no
9. Will Takakeisho win a second yusho in 2020 ?
My prediction : no
I have to admit I got that wrong. In September and November, Takakeisho looked like he successfully put aside the various injuries he carried in 2019; he produced impressive 12-3 and 13-2 performances.It’s also worth remembering he started the year blowing another chance to get a yusho – two losses on days 14 and 15 proved fatal for the ozeki’s yusho quest, handing the cup to Tokushoryu. But if Takakeisho can manage to reproduce his performances from last basho, the rope would he his.
All eyes are on him now: ozeki Takakeisho
Was the prediction correct? no
10. Will a rikishi win a yusho for the first time in 2020 ?
My prediction : no
Obviously, things did not go as I expected. I tend to believe chaos has eventually been expelled late in 2020, but the leading pack obviously needed more time to settle. Actually, three out of this year’s five basho have arguably been won by a surprise champion! Tokushoryu, Terunofuji and Shodai’s performances have been astonishing surprises – if you place yourself back in 2020’s new year eve. So, who wants to be the next one?
Was the prediction correct? no
11. Will Hoshoryu reach maku’uchi ?
My prediction : yes
I’m pleased to get than one right. Hoshoryu started 2020 sitting quite deep – juryo 14e, second’s division second lowest rank. But his progress has been constant, and consistant. Three basho and a yusho-doten later, the Mongolian was a makuuchi newbie – and, just like Ichinojo, saved a makuuchi spot on senshuraku. He could not finish the year with a fifth kashi koshi, but will no doubt settle down in makuuchi. Can he reach the joi, or even sanyaku next year?
Was the prediction correct? yes
12. Will Kotoshogiku stay in maku’uchi ?
My prediction : no
Kotoshogiku’s slump went out, slowly but surely. Without having any terrible basho, he piled up make koshi – he had six in a row between 2019 and 2020, without ever getting less than six wins. That suggested the former ozeki still had some fuel left, but not for too long. He got demoted to juryo after the September basho; the audience then had the chance to witness one last pre-bout stretch against Chiyonoo, before Giku put an end to a great career.
Was the prediction correct? yes
13. Will Ishiura stay in maku’uchi ?
My prediction : no
Ishiura’s scissor records went on in 2020, suggesting he’s too good for juryo, and perhaps a bit too soft for a lasting makuuchi experience. A string of good results actually enabled him to surpass his career best (M8w in July 2017, M8e three years later); but Ishiura could not maintain such form. After going back to juryo yet again in November, the Miyagino resident missed a chance to bounce straight back, losing a senshuraku exchange bout against Sadanoumi.
Here again, I expect him to return quite quickly to makuuchi, and maybe to end up the year just like the current one.
Was the prediction correct? yes
14. Will Ura produce the greatest comeback ever ?
My prediction : no
Arguably, I’m quite happy to have that one wrong. If Terunofuji’s comeback is stunning, what about Ura? He hasn’t overcome one, but two grave knee injuries, falling twice into the abyss. From there on, he lost a very limited number of matches, and once again climbed the stairs. His comeback at the sekitori level is fully deserved, and it should come as no surprise to see him causing a few upsets in makuuchi, sooner rather than later.
Just like in recent years, 2020 has been quite an eventful year in sumo: surprise winners, stunning comebacks and the Covid pandemic all coloured this year. The dust might settle a bit next year, but still, how much do we remember about sumo highlights this year?

The answers:
1. 2020 has been a year to forget for the yokozuna, who will both need to get at least ten wins in January. How many wins did they get combined in 2020?
c. 37. 24 for Hakuho, and only 13 for Kakuryu. In my opinion, it comes as no surprise they are facing the risk of having to retire early next year.
2. In how many bouts did Hakuho actually participate in 2020 (during honbasho, of course; not counting fusen losses and torinaoshi)?
b. 30. Three bouts in January, fifteen in March and twelve in July.
3. What about Kakuryu? How many times did he fight in 2020?
b. 20. Four times in January, fifteen in March, and just one in July.
4. Let’s now focus to 2020’s ozeki. How many times did an ozeki finish with a losing record?
b. Four times, by four different sekitori: Asanoyama (1-2-12) and Shodai (3-2-10) in November; Takakeisho (7-8) in March, and let’s not forget Goeido (5-10), in January!
5. Going further down the banzuke, Mitakeumi had a (very) disappointing year 2020. How many make koshi did he get?
b. Two, in January and November. Mitakeumi will start 2021 approximately where he started in 2020: below the rank of sekiwake, no yusho and one more aborted ozeki run. Put it briefly, trademark Mitakeumi.
6. Tokushoryu, on the other hand, obviously had a great year 2020, winning the first yusho, then keeping a place in makuuchi. Following his surprise win in January, how many more kachi koshi did he get?
b. One time only, in November (8-7). He got payback right in March (4-11), but had decent efforts in July and September, barely missing kachi koshi (7-8).
7. Let’s have some fun with names: which one of these pairs of rikishi have shared the same division at some point?
c. Oshoryu – Shohoryu. Hoshoryu has reached juryo in November 2019, whereas Shohoryu is still in makushita. Kaisho got relegated from juryo in November 2019, while Kaisei returned to makuuchi in January 2020. So the only pair having shared the same division is Oshoryu – Shohoryu. Actually, they’re still together in makushita.
Bow twirler Shohoryu
8. Same question: which pair of rikishi has fought together in the same division in 2020 (2/3)?
c. Tomisakae – Tokisakae. Daishoho wasn’t higher than juryo 3, and actually finished the year in makushita. Terunofuji went so low down the banzuke that he chould say hi to Fujinoteru in jonidan, but actually started the year in juryo. Tomisakae and Tokisakae have seen each other in makushita.
9. This time, which pair of rikishi has NOT been together in the same division (3/3)?
d. None of the above – they have all shared the same division at some point. That one was tricky. Churanoumi and Chiyonoumi have been together in juryo thrice, in March, July and November. Churanoumi actually spent the whole year in juryo; therefore, he met Chiyonokuni during his sole basho in juryo, in September. Chiyonoumi sat in makushita in September, and has NOT met Chiyonokuni – but they BOTH were in makushita, in January 2020.
10. Kotoshogiku’s body could not enable him to remain fully fit in 2020. He hasn’t been able, in either tournament, to get more than…
c. Eight wins, in July.
11. How many newcomers have been welcomed in makuuchi?
a. Six: Kiribayama (January), Kotonowaka (March), Kotoshoho (July), Tobizaru, Hoshoryu (September) and Akua (November) have all been new to makuuchi – and will begin 2021 in sumo’s first division.
12. Who got five kachi koshi in makuuchi this year?
a. Nobody. If both mentioned rikishi had a fine 2020 year, both finished 7-8 earlier this year (Takanosho in January, Takakeisho in March).
13. How many bouts did Ura lose this year?
c. Eight. One bout in July, one in September, and six in November. He won back to back yusho in jonidan and sandanme
14. Hanakaze is still wrestling, being half a century old! But how many kachi koshi did he get this year?
b. One, a 4-3 record in March. He’ll be relegated to jonokuchi in January.
15. Going right to the bottom of the banzuke, how many bouts did Hattorizakura win this year?
Hattorizakura has not won a single bout since January 2019.
Comme les années précédentes, 2020 a été une année assez mouvementée en sumo: de surprenants vainqueurs, d’improbables retours, et la pandémie liée au Covid-19 ont tous marqué cette année. Nous pourrions avoir un peu de repos l’an prochain ; mais de quoi pouvons-nous nous remémorer de cette année ?

Les réponses :
1. 2020 a été une année à oublier pour les yokozuna, qui vont devoir obtenir au moins dix victoires en janvier. Combien de victoires ont-ils obtenu à eux deux en 2020 ?
c. 37. 24 pour Hakuho, et seulement 13 pour Kakuryu. Ce n’est à mon avis pas une surprise si tous deux risquent d’être contraints à la retraite, début 2021.
2. A combien de combats Hakuho a-t-il participé en 2020 (en prenant en compte uniquement les honbasho, mais ni les défaites par défaut, ni les torinaoshi) ?
b. 30. Trois combats en janvier, quinze en mars et douze en juillet.
3. Et Kakuryu? Combien de fois a-t-il combattu en 2020 ?
b. 20. Quatre combats en janvier, quinze en mars, et un seul en juillet.
4. Concentrons-nous à présent sur les ozeki. Combien de fois un ozeki a-t-il obtenu un résultat négatif ?
b. Quatre fois, et par quatre lutteurs différents: Asanoyama (1-2-12) et Shodai (3-2-10) en novembre ; Takakeisho (7-8) en mars, et n’oublions pas Goeido (5-10), en janvier !
5. Allons plus bas dans le banzuke. Mitakeumi a eu une année 2020 (très) décevante. Combien de make koshi a-t-il obtenu ?
b. Deux, en janvier et en novembre. Mitakeumi va débuter l’année 2021 tout comme il a débuté 2020 : en-dessous du rang de sekiwake, pas de yusho, et une campagne d’ozeki avortée. En un mot, typique de Mitakeumi.
6. Tokushoryu, de son côté, a de toute évidence eu une belle année 2020, remportant le premier tournoi, puis conservant sa place en makuuchi. Après sa victoire surprise en janvier, combien d’autres kashi koshi a-t-il obtenu ?
b. Une seule fois, en novembre (8-7). Il a eu un retour de bâton en mars (4-11), mais a obtenu des résultats corrects en juillet et septembre, ratant le kashi koshi de peu (7-8).
7. Amusons-nous à présent avec les noms: laquelle de ces paires de lutteurs a été dans la même division, à un moment quelconque de l’année 2020 ? (1/3)?
c. Oshoryu – Shohoryu. Hoshoryu a atteint le juryo en novembre 2019, alors que Shohoryu est toujours en makushita. Kaisho a été relégué du juryo en novembre 2019, tandis que Kaisei est revenu en makuuchi en janvier 2020. Ainsi, la seule paire à avoir partagé la même division est Oshoryu – Shohoryu. En réalité, ils se trouvent toujours tous les deux en makushita.
Le yumitori shiki : Shohoryu
8. Même question: laquelle de ces paires de lutteurs a combattu dans la même division en 2020 (2/3)?
c. Tomisakae – Tokisakae. Daishoho n’a jamais été mieux classé que juryo 3, et a terminé l’année en makushita. Terunofuji est descendu si bas dans le banzuke qu’il a pu saluer Fujinoteru, mais il a débuté l’année en juryo. Tomisakae et Tokisakae ont été ensemble en makushita.
9. Cette fois, laquelle de ces paires n’a PAS combattu dans la même division (3/3)?
d. Aucune de ces paires – ils ont tous partagé la même division à un moment donné. C’était une question piège ! Churanoumi et Chiyonoumi ont été trois fois ensemble en juryo, en mars, en juillet et en novembre. Churanoumi a finalement passé toute l’année en juryo ; ainsi, il a rencontré Chiyonokuni lors de son seul tournoi en juryo, en septembre. Chiyonoumi était en makushita en septembre, et n’y a donc PAS rencontré Chiyonokuni – mais les DEUX étaient en makushita, en janvier 2020.
10. Kotoshogiku n’était pas suffisamment rétabli pour combattre à 100 % en 2020. Dans aucun tournoi, il n’a pu engranger plus de…
c. Huit victoires, en juillet
11. Combien de lutteurs ont découvert le makuuchi en 2020 ?
a. Six : Kiribayama (janvier), Kotonowaka (mars), Kotoshoho (juillet), Tobizaru, Hoshoryu (septembre) and Akua (novembre) sont les nouveaux venus de 2020 – et ils débuteront tous l’année 2021 en makuuchi.
12. Qui a obtenu cinq kashi koshi en makuuchi, cette année ?
a. Personne. Si les deux lutteurs mentionnés ont eu une belle année 2020, tous deux ont eu un résultat négatif de sept victoires pour huit défaites, plus tôt cette année (Takanosho en janvier, Takakeisho en mars).
13. Combien de combats Ura a-t-il perdu cette année ?
c. Huit. Un match en juillet, un en septembre, et six en novembre. Il a remporté deux yusho consécutifs en jonidan et sandanme.
14. Hanakaze combat toujours, âgé d’un demi-siècle ! Mais combien de kashi koshi a-t-il obtenu cette année ? b. Un seul, 4-3 en mars. Il va être relégué en jonokuchi pour le tournoi de janvier.
15. Allons tout en bas du banzuke. Combien de victoires Hattorizakura a-t-il remporté cette année ?
Hattorizakura n’a plus remporté le moindre match depuis janvier 2019
a. Zéro. Pas une grosse surprise, malheureusement…
