Re: {spoiler} Yokozuna ?

Well, since you asked...
1.	Taiho			32 yusho		1956-1971
2.	Chiyonofuji	31			1970-1991
3.	Kitanoumi		24			1967-1985
4.	Takanohana		22			1988-
5.	Wajima		14			1970-1981
6.	Tochinishiki	10			1939-1960
7.	Wakanohana I	10			1946-1962
8.	Akebono		11			1988-2001
9.	Kitanofuji		10			1957-1974
10.	Tamanoumi		6			1959-1971

I'm sure others will think differently, but one reason that Akebono
rates lower than Tochi-Waka is the fact that he never won zensho yusho.
Musashimaru? #11 and rising...

2) Yes, and I think very few, if any, yokozuna in the future will be
given a seven-basho grace period.
