Has a guy without a topknot ever won a Makuuchi Yusho before?

I seriously doubt it, but then again, Ichinojo did take jun-yusho at Aki 2014, before he had enough hair for a topknot (also his makuuchi debut).

He lost to Hakuho, incidentally, who came first in 5/6 tournaments that year. Aki 2014 was his 31st yusho.

It'd be kind of funny if Hakuoho managed the feat just because there was no Hakuho to shut him down.

It's the shin-ozeki curse. Lots of new ozeki go kadoban their first tournament after promotion. Plus he's not MK yet.

On the other hand, shin-ozeki rarely go kadoban without withdrawing due to injury - that's only happened twice since the current kadoban rules were instituted in 1969, both times in 2000. For context, in the same period, there have been 13 newly promoted* ozeki who withdrew from competition before going make-koshi, and 63 ozeki promotions in total.

It'll be interesting to see how Hoshoryu plays the next six days.

* "newly promoted" instead of "shin-", because Tochinoshin became ozeki twice and both times withdrew from the very next tournament.

I see people are trading Ichiyamamoto, but I will hold onto him though he drags me down like my undiagnosed manic depression.

Me, but Abi and diagnosed major depression

Still hoping he can put together a soft landing after getting through the first week, if not for himself then for Terao
