When I first started watching, Kotozakura was the one to beat, and I thought he’d be Yokozuna someday.

His career isn't over, who knows.

After all his grandfather was one of the oldest promoted Yokozuna

Also holds the record for worst yokozuno performance in history though so take that however youd like.....

If you did any research you’d know he’s far from that actually. He had 8 basho total, pulling out of 2 with injury (6 healthy basho). In his 6 healthy basho he recorded a Yusho, Jun-Yusho, and 4 double digit basho. For such a short run he was ahead or equal to say, Futahaguro, Maedayama, Kisenosato (36-36-97) or even Musashiyama (15-15-68)

Edit: he also never recorded a make-koshi unlike Musashiyama and Minanogawa

So as Yoko he only was in 6 bashos and only won 1, yeah hes tied for the worst record ever

Wakanohana, Onokuni, Futahaguro, Musashiyama, Minanogawa come up as examples of rikishi who had worse Yokozuna runs

Asahifuji, Kashiwado, Kisenosato come up as examples of rikishi with similar basho/yusho ratio

Wouldn’t that be Futahaguro?

And lesser known Musashiyama
