About this converter
Top division yusho count Emperor Cup titles since 1909 across six yearly basho. Hakuho leads with 45, Taiho follows at 32, Chiyonofuji at 31, Asashoryu at 25, Kitanoumi at 24 and Takanohana II at 22 as the only six past 20. Wajima sits at 14 with nobody between 13 and 21. Futabayama and Musashimaru tie at 12 each, Akebono at 11, and Tsunenohana, Tochinishiki, Wakanohana I, Kitanofuji and Terunofuji tied at 10 each. Unofficial pre-1909 tallies like Raiden 28 never count. Harumafuji waits at 9 with active Onosato near 5.
How to use it
Pick two greats and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Hakuho against Terunofuji to see the four point five to one gap. Six yearly basho cap the pace at six per year.
Playoff wins decide tied 14-1 and 15-0 records inside these totals. Futabayama streak of 69 bouts still stands apart from titles. Terunofuji older caches showed 8 or 9 before the tenth confirmed. Juryo and lower titles never mix into makuuchi rows.
