2004 Super Banzuke Sumo Games World Championship:

The final round of the 2004 Sumo Games World Championship proved a real 
thriller, with many eyes on the intercontinental battle between the two 
superstars from Germany and Japan, Doitsuyama and Norizo.  Norizo had a 
handsome lead going into Kyushu Basho, but despite scoring a Yusho in 
Sekitori-Quadrumvirate could not hold on.  But he didn't lose to 
Doitsuyama, whose valiant effort of two Yusho wins in Kyushu also 
remained unrewarded as far as the Championship goes.  With a very solid 
showing, including a Yusho in the Sumo Game, Mariohana snuck up on both, 
and once and for all announced to the world that he has arrived, as was 
already clearly evidenced by his meteoric rise on the Super Banzuke, 
where he is now ranked as Ozeki.  Congratulations to the inaugural World 
Champion!!  Mariohana will receive the Golden Chalice trophy that is 
shown on the World Championship site!

Norizo takes two sansho for the year, the Shukun-sho for winning no less 
than 5 Yusho in 2004, and the Gino-sho for displaying the most balanced 
excellence in both, Daily and Pre-Basho games.  Ulsimitsuki takes the 
Kanto-sho for having scored 23 top-10 finishes in 2004, in 15 different 
games, over Doitsuyama with the same mark in 14 different games.

Kyushu Basho 2004 Super Banzuke Masters Series:

The final 2004 installment of the Super Banzuke Masters Series was 
firmly in German hands, as Heruwejima fought off his higher ranked 
compatriots Doitsuyama and Mariohana to win his first ever Green 
Mawashi, highlighetd by a GISP co-Yusho, Jun-Yusho in RotoSumo and 
Salarycap, and third places in Fantasy Sumo and the Hoshitori Contest.

With a performance like that, not even the two Yusho (Hoshitori and 
Salarycap) and an impressive crossover Jun-Yusho in the Paper Oyakata 
Game  by Doitsuyama  proved enough!  For his two Yusho, Doitsuyama 
however scores the Shukun-sho, and also bags the Kanto-sho, for scoring 
in no less than 7 games total (a feat matched by Mariohana) - Mariohana 
takes the Gino-sho for the most consistently excellent performance in 
Pre-Basho as well as Daily games.  And, of course, with his strong 
performance in Kyushu, Mariohana also clinched the 2004 Sumo Games World 
Championship title!!

Congratulations to all winners!  See you in 2005!
