On the top postwar sekiwakes:

>It's slightly remarkable how the period from 1970 to 1990 is practically not represented at all. Maybe more of the rikishi with potential were made Ozeki at that time, or maybe just a coincidence. Takamiyama is the only one I can think of to represent this period, but maybe there are more I have not thought of.

I concur, it was not a good time for strong sekiwakes.  If I were to add an honorable mention list to go along with the Top 10 postwar sekiwakes, Kurohimeyama and Kirinji from this era would merit consideration.  

Some other pretty good rikishi from the 1970-1990 period who reached the sekiwake rank would include Arase, Dewanohana, Kotogaume, Ozutsu and Sakahoko.
