How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try Hakuho against Kakuryu to compare 45 titles with 6. Counts read straight since only one unit exists.
Counts cover Emperor Cup wins in the top makuuchi division only, not lower division titles. Playoff wins count the same as outright titles. Active wrestlers can still add to their totals, so check current basho results for the latest line. Hakuho at 45 clears Taiho by 13 titles. Chiyonofuji at 31 and Asashoryu at 25 fill the next ranks with Kitanoumi at 24 close behind. Takanohana at 22 leads the modern era names above Wajima at 14.
