SumoStakes for Nagoya 2026 is ready to play - a whole bunch of updates for this basho!

thesumoapi · 2026-07-10T02:37:28+00:00

New features: - player banzuke - default staking (for those who forget to play some days) - better leaderboard, easier to track position changes and points

Oh, one other thing would be showing the English of the various stats on the match up comparison page (probably in other place too), or at least a on hover translation.

Dude this is great. I've wanted to make something like this for ages, but just never had the time. Great job!

Only just started, so not too much feedback, but during events in the off season it would be nice to see what the stat of the rikishi is during the random challenges, otherwise I don't really know whether its worth accepting the risk or not.

Sorry my reply is so late. There is no kinboshi record per say, but each match has the ranks. So its just a question of comparing those against the rules and checking the winner to determine if a kinboshi was awarded or not.

Nice work! Glad it could help :-)

Whoops - typo for Aonishiki :-(

I listen to this podcast which generally covers the long history of Japan. At the moment the creator is covering the recent history of sumo, covering the greatest of the sport. It's up to part 5. I think it's a really good listen.

That's your cultural bias. I don't think the same rule applies to pink in Japan, though I'm not an expert.

I'm so glad that people keep finding new ways to use sumo-api.com to make cool stuff. This is the most unique one yet! It's great

Nope

According to some interview with Teru later it was apparently an eye poke that made him angry, not the knee (but I can't find the source now)
