Miss sumo?

Six tournaments are held every year. Each one lasts 15 days. Three of the tournaments are held in Tokyo, and one each in Fukuoka, Osaka and Nagoya. The 2006 January Grand Sumo Tournament begins Sunday January 8th and ends Sunday January 22nd, in Tokyo.This is the thirteenth consecutive tournament, dating from the 2004 January Grand Sumo Tournament, in which Asashoryu is the only yokozuna appearing on the "banzuke" or official listing of rank. This extends his own record for the longest run in this position since the title of yokozuna became an official rank in February 1909. In second place with eleven consecutive tournaments as the only yokozuna listed is Akebono (the sixty-fourth yokozuna).
