I like Sumo, too :)

My favorite is Asashouryu!

A few days ago, I found Derek Jeter as a spectator to watch the match in the hall :)

Hey! Now that there are two new yokozuna, please update this! Also there are a few rikishi that require entering their shikona as well as given name, so if that could be consistent, that would be wonderful.

Thank you for your advice :)

I added new yokozuna and standardized the notation to shikona!
