Sumostats news, stats and changes made for the Hatsu 2026 basho! www.patreon.com/posts/hatsu-...

Added a quick banzuke lookup tool to help with "guess the banzuke"... it looks up historical rank movements when you pick a rikishi and shows where similar cases ended up, plus you can pull up the banzuke from that basho! sumostats.com/banzuke/pred...

Anyone working on cool sumo stuff?

Added 'Record at Day' option to show the win-loss record on that day instead of the final day. So for example on day 10 we can have 3-7 instead of the final day record of 4-11

Added new 'recap' tab to rikishi page. A timeline showing a wrestler's matches, achievements, and news from their last 3 tournaments.

Added Community Edits: You can now submit corrections to rikishi profiles, banzuke data, match results, and more.

Rikishi heights and weights updated!

Some Basho Page Updates: -Faster to switch between days and bashos -Removed sidebar -Share match links -Multi-select heya filter -Hid rarely-used options -Added autoplay toggle -Video state persists across day/basho switches

Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the recent followers! I am not so good at posting.. but it is nice to see other sumo liking people 🥳

Day switching in basho results is now much faster and easier. Also added handy links to the most recent bashos

Adding search back to the site soon so you can quickly find bouts and other complex info... still needs a bunch of work yet!

Don't forget to check the ranks page to see the banzuke changes compared to the previous two!

Missing a few bout videos from the last basho but looking to fill them in still 😓 at 8031 clips now!! (out of a total 14834 sumo matches this year)

When you click on a rikishi on the banzuke it shows a little recap on their performance in the last basho (with links to related videos) and some recent news. This feature is still a bit rough on the edges at the moment but hopefully it can provide a quick refresher! Will keep working on it...!
