A 12–3 championship record gives you the destination. A day-by-day sequence lets you revisit the journey.
Below is Onosato’s September 2026 regulation record, transcribed from his official scorecard and checked on 9 October 2026. This is his own results, not a reconstruction of each day’s full leaderboard or his chance of winning the title.
Fifteen days, one line at a time
| Day | Result | Running record |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | W | 1–0 |
| 2 | W | 2–0 |
| 3 | W | 3–0 |
| 4 | L | 3–1 |
| 5 | W | 4–1 |
| 6 | W | 5–1 |
| 7 | W | 6–1 |
| 8 | W | 7–1 |
| 9 | W | 8–1 |
| 10 | W | 9–1 |
| 11 | W | 10–1 |
| 12 | W | 11–1 |
| 13 | L | 11–2 |
| 14 | L | 11–3 |
| 15 | W | 12–3 |
The 12 wins and three losses reconcile with the official profile. His championship is also listed on the JSA champions page. The profile places each opponent beside the relevant day.
What the sequence lets us say
After losing on Day 4, he won eight in a row, from Days 5 to 12. Losses on Days 13 and 14 preceded a final-day win. The sequence establishes order; it does not show that a particular loss caused the eventual title.
Compare 11–1 after Day 12 with 11–3 after Day 14. The wins have not changed, but only one day remains instead of three. Looking at a result as it stood at the time helps recover some of the uncertainty hidden by the final answer.
A scheduled title decider and an extra playoff need different rows
Our final-day results report separates the makuuchi title’s conclusion from the additional juryo playoff. Store regulation decisions under Days 1–15, and extra playoffs as separate events.
Fictional arithmetic example: a wrestler finishes regulation 11–4 and then wins two playoff bouts. His regulation record stays 11–4. Store the two playoff wins in a second field; do not rewrite the tournament as 13–4.
A reusable record
| Field | What to save |
|---|---|
| Scope | Tournament, division, wrestler ID and displayed name |
| Regulation | Day, opponent, decision and default flag |
| Path | Running wins/losses and days remaining |
| Title race | Gap to the leader only after checking all relevant contenders |
| Conclusion | Champion, deciding day/event and separate playoff rows |
| Evidence | Official URL, source tournament, retrieval time and corrections |
Use “unverified” for an older result you have not checked, and “not yet contested” for a future day. A missing entry must not become a loss. To reconstruct the gap to the leader, the champion’s own sequence alone is insufficient.

Editorial update
The former promise of a post-September data addition is replaced with this checked 15-day example and a link to our existing final-day report. One tournament path does not establish a historical pattern.
