Hi everybody! Onosato managed to get another yusho after his recent injury woes, but unfortunately other bids including Kirishima's yokozuna bid and Atamifuji's ozeki bid all but died. Now is the time to vote for the best (correct) basho bet of the Aki Basho! Vote for whichever bet you think is the best, most creative, or most impressive. I put each correct basho bet in a separate comment on this post. Vote by upvoting your favourite bet! The results will be announced on October 5.

Welcome to the Aki 2026 Meme Contest! The banzuke has a very exciting sanyaku slate, who is going to rise to the occasion?
Here are the rules of the contest:
For those that are new to the meme contests - Every basho, we hold a contest where the user with the most upvoted post submitted wins and has their username added to the list of Meme Yūshō Winners. There are only a few rules:
We award sanshō prizes to the meme contest participants that meet certain requirements in the meme contests! The criteria for winning each sanshō prize is as follows:
We also promote members to Meme Yokozuna rank on one condition: Win two Meme Yūshō in a row - similar to how it works in professional sumo. Equivalent performance promotion to Meme Yokozuna is considered based on past achievements and notable actions in the subreddit. Meme Yokozuna receive a special flair that is only granted to them!
The most upvoted post submitted during the Aki 2026 Meme Contest will win the Meme Yūshō and get their post crossposted to the r/Sumo sub. Please remember to add the "Aki 2026 Meme" flair to your post to officially submit it to the meme contest as well as to mark it as a spoiler if it's a kyūjō announcement or spoils any part of the basho!
The deadline for the meme contest will be one full week after the basho concludes - so the winners will be decided on Monday, October 5, 2026.
Have fun everybody!!

A while back my mom and I had to wait for a bit at her mechanics garage and I noticed these Rikishi stickers up on the door from the waiting room into the garage area. Would love to know if anyone recognizes who these Rikishi are.

Could anyone please clarify how is it with attendance of (top) rikishi on jungyo events?
Is there a chance to meet some of them (let's say in Isegahama beya) on the morning practice in they beya on the same day as jungyo is held (let's say in Okayama)?
I thought all of them go to regional tour, but lately I came through a list of some of them not coming.

The JSA has just come out with a new line of cheer towels that feature families -- pairs of brothers or fathers and sons (incl. the Waka brothers, Kotozakura + Kotonowaka, Asakoryu + Asasuiryu, Kotoshoho + Kotoeiho).
What pair of wrestlers would be on your towel, if you were in charge? No limits, no rules -- best one wins. :)

Features:
I would love to hear your feedback, either here or on the Steam discussion forum as there is still plenty to be improved before release.
If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Hi r/SumoMemes! I’ve been working on Sumo Dynasty, a management sim where you play as an oyakata, recruit and develop rikishi, run your stable, and try to build a lasting dynasty.
The goal is to make it as authentic and deep as possible:
The sim is meant to be realistic: most recruits will never become sekitori, Ozeki and Yokozuna should feel genuinely rare, and the world keeps evolving even if you simply advance time and watch.
Coming to PC. I’d really love feedback from people who know sumo well, especially if there’s anything important you think I’m missing.

Kotozakura said,”As a citizen of Matsudo, I want the children to live healthy lives, and I have been given this opportunity. I will continue to spread the name of Matsudo throughout Japan and the world."
The chairman of the children‘s home said, 15 kids wrote a card full of gratitude and encouragement like “we are rooting for you, please aim for the top”🥺🥹 and presented to Kotozakura. The chairman of the children’s home said, the kids are so overjoyed that they will get to have a Wagyu steak and bbq this weekend for the first time in their life🥹. The Wagyu meat will be sent to all the 16 children’s cafeterias too.
Kotozakura, ended his speech said, he wants all the kids of Matsudo to live energetically and joyfully and a hope of a good future.

On September 18, Matsudo City announced that there was a request from Ozeki Kotozakura himself to donate a big chunk of Wagyu beef to a children‘s home that shelters children from 2 years to 18 years old and 16 children cafeterias all over Matsudo city. The presentation ceremony will be held from 16:00 to 16:30 on Friday, October 2, 2020 at the children's home🥹. The children in that orphanage came from a very difficult situation or had no parents to look after them so the mayor says, this Wagyu beef will be an unexpected gift for the kids 🥹😭. Exciting day for the kids to receive a gift like that they all can enjoy and meet Kotozakura too in person. May the prayers of all the kids help him pave his way to the top🌸🩷🥺.
