I asked the Kyokai to relate to this. They answered that he indeed fits the criteria an if he gets a yusho with a good result next basho, and from that answer I gather that there will be no reason to disregard that.." In the past, Kisenosato was promoted even if he didn't have 2 consecutive yushos prior to his promotion but did really well the year before with a yusho and 4 jun-yushos. Takakeishou, OTOH, is not stable and had one mid-basho kyujo and 3 single digit kachikoshis this year, not something to write home about. A zensho may make it possible, says the reporter. The Chairman will be leaving his job in January after a ten year term and his successor will be <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11466420" style="text-decoration-line:underline" target="_blank">Mr. Yamauchi Masayuki</a>.<br>
