Banzuke Day! May the lower ranked rikishi have a day free from paper cuts

It looks like we're getting a bonus stamp this time (hopefully us foreigners too) Happy New Year!

Some people are posting on socials that they received their Tatsunami banzuke for Hatsu. I haven’t heard from them this month?

Usually (meaning twice so far lol) they send a mail around the 10th, asking you to check your address, then another one a few days later that confirms shipping. But this time: nothing.

Is something wrong? I got my last receipt, and I can still access bonus videos, so my membership seems to be active

I haven’t heard from Hosh koenkai either, but I kinda expected that tbh :/ That one was an expensive bet

The banzuke came out today! So... What is a banzuke?

Banzuke : A banzuke, officially called banzuke-hyo, is a document listing the rankings of professional sumo wrestlers published before each official tournament (honbasho). The term can also refer to the rankings themselves. The document is normally released about two weeks before the tournament begins.

Here we see Hoshoryu pointing to his name on the banzuke with his recent promotion to Ozeki, and Kotonowaka pointing to his name with his recent promotion to Sekiwake. Kotonowaka is looking to also reach the rank of Ozeki, after which he plans to change his name to Kotozakura, the name used by his late grandfather, the 53rd Yokozuna.
