The total number of rikishi listed on the Kyushu 2025 banzuke is 598. This
is the first time in four bashos since this year in March , when the number
was 588, that the number has fallen below 600. The previous record was 943,
set in the 1994 May basho, fueled by the "Wakataka boom." Isegahama beya
