Where this comes from. Every item on this page is arithmetic over the tournament
record — promotion thresholds, three-tournament windows, closing streaks, gold stars.
Nothing here is translated or rewritten from another publication. Records via
sumo-api.com,
covering every bout since 1958. Recomputed three times a day.
Promotion standards in sumo are customary, not codified — thirty-three wins across three tournaments at sanyaku is what the committee has tended to want, not a rule it is bound by. Treat the numbers as the case, not the verdict.
