Sumo-November 2025 Banzuke Announced (Updated x2)

With everyone who went to London back in Japan and teams setting up shop in and around Fukuoka for training, things are back to normal and just in time as the Japan Sumo Association has just announced the Banzuke (rankings) for the November 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament. Here are the rankings for the top 2 tiers and other notes, also note these rankings do not take the London results into consideration:

Makuuchi (top tier):
Yokozuna-Onosato (September Tournament Champion), Hoshoryu
Ozeki-Kotozakura
Sekiwake-Aonishiki, Oho
Komusubi-Takanosho, Takayasu
Maegashira 1-Hakuoho, Wakatakakage
Maegashira 2-Kirishima, Wakamotoharu
Maegashira 3-Hiradoumi, Ura
Maegashira 4-Tamawashi, Oshoma
Maegashira 5-Yoshinofuji, Shodai
Maegashira 6-Atamifuji, Onokatsu
Maegashira 7-Churanoumi, Abi
Maegashira 8-Ichiyamamoto, Kinbozan
Maegashira 9-Midorifuji, Tobizaru
Maegashira 10-Daieisho, Kotoshoho
Maegashira 11-Shishi, Roga
Maegashira 12-Fujinokawa, Tomokaze
Maegashira 13-Gonoyama, Mitakeumi
Maegashira 14-Ryuden, Tokihayate
Maegashira 15-Nishikifuji, Shonannoumi
Maegashira 16-Oshoumi, Sadanoumi
Maegashira 17-Chiyoshoma, Asakoryu
Maegashira 18-Meisei
Notes: First things first-Yoshinofuji? Yeah, double take for me too…That’s the former Kusano, who will be a kaimei rikishi with a new shikona (ring name change) as apparently he’s now full-fledged Isegahama and that means he must have a Fuji-ending name per stable tradition and policy. And despite concerns about Aomori Prefecture’s nearly 150-year run of a rikishi in the top tier ending after Takerufuji being demoted due to missing September, it’s intact thanks to Nishikifuji being promoted back up from Juryo. At the top, Onosato is the higher ranked Yokozuna over Hoshoryu (East is considered higher than West) after coming back to beat Hoshoryu in a playoff after Hoshoryu won their final day match in September, although Hoshoryu is coming off a championship in London, which was little more than a glorified exhibition, while Aonishiki moves up to Sekiwake along with Oho. Aonishiki also has set the record for fastest promotion to Sekiwake from debut at just 13 tournaments, excluding Makushita debuts (most notably Onosato, who also has yet to have a losing tournament). The previous record was 14 by Konishiki. Takayasu gets the benefit of the doubt again and, despite a second straight losing record, once again stays at Komusubi joined by Takanosho who made a huge jump up after a runner-up and Special Prize effort. Wakatakakage & Kirishima both fell out of Sanyaku with demotions to M1 & M2 while Hakuoho is up to M1 and Ura also made a big move up to M3. Iron Man Tamawashi slipped to M4 but remains in the upper ranks while Shodai had a big improvement up to M5, as did Shishi going up from M18 and barely hanging on to M11. Tamawashi can get to 700 career top tier wins this time if he gets at least 5 wins. Also of note-he will turn 41 on Day 8. Oshoumi makes his expected top tier debut this time starting at M16 while Chiyoshoma also retuns at M17 while Meisei barely holds on to his position at M18.
Some high-ranking Association members have hinted at Aonishiki being on potential Ozeki watch and could be promoted if he wins his first championship or perhaps improves on his perfect mark of 11 wins every tournament he’s been in the top tier so far.

Juryo:
Juryo 1-Hitoshi, Fujiseiun
Juryo 2-Kotoeiho, Asahakuryu (September Juryo Champion)
Juryo 3-Mita, Daiseizan
Juryo 4-Kagayaki, Asanoyama
Juryo 5-Hatsuyama, Tochitaikai
Juryo 6-Kotokuzan, Nishikigi
Juryo 7-Takerufuji, Shirokuma
Juryo 8-Kayo, Kazekeno
Juryo 9-Hidenoumi, Nishinoryu
Juryo 10-Hakuyozan, Tohakuryu
Juryo 11-Tamashoho, Tsurugisho
Juryo 12-Kitanowaka, Asasuiryu
Juryo 13-Himukamaru, Fujiryoga
Juryo 14-Shiden, Wakanosho
Notes: Close but not quite for Asahakuryu as his Juryo debut championship takes him up to just short of the top tier, settling in at J2 with Hitoshi being demoted from the top tier but having a chance to get back right away. A runner-up finish moves Asanoyama up to J4, on the bottom end of where I figured he’d wind up, while Mita’s second-week collapse kept his rise to just one spot to J3. At the bottom, the former Nagamura makes his expected Juryo debut with a new shikona as he is now Himukamaru, joined by fellow newcomer Fujiryoga, the former Goshima. Kitanowaka & Wakanosho are the Sai-Juryo rikishi this time, returning after prior demotions. I haven’t heard anything yet on if Takerufuji will be able to return from injury this time, if not he will be demoted to Makushita.

Lower tier notes:
Despite rumors he might retire due to injury, Endo remains in for now although his status for November is uncertain. He is demoted to Makushita 3. Shimazuumi just missed a Juryo return after his Makushita championship and will try again for a second tier return from Makushita 2. Miyanokaze was also demoted to Juryo after a second chance and will be at Ms4, Enho moved up to Ms17, about where I considered to be best-case, so he’d need a 7-0 championship for any chance at a Juryo return in January. The Sandanme remains at the new-normal of 80 ranks with 160 total wrestlers. The Jonidan shrinks a little this tournament with 102 ranks and 204 total wrestlers. The Jonokuchi starts with 22 ranks and 44 total wrestlers.

The November Tournament runs from 11/9-11/24 at Fukuoka International Center in Fukuoka. All tickets for all days are already sold out.

UPDATE: Endo has retired. He missed the last 2 tournaments due to injury. Based on a Nikkan Sports report it’s not clear what his future plans are, the question is whether there is a spot open for him to be able to cash in any elder stock he may have. (From articles I’ve read so far the answer seems to be no but confirmation should come in the next day or two) Endo, who competed using his real name (his full name is Shota Endo), finishes with a career record of 527-494-88 (win-loss-absent), 480-482-73 in the top tier, 1 Juryo Championship, 6 Special Prizes and 7 Kinboshi.

UPDATE 2: According to a report published by the Hokkoku Shimbum via Yahoo Sports Japan, Endo had the elder stock of Hokujin, the former Tenkaiho who just retired yesterday. So it sounds like Endo will be able to become Hokujin Oyakata and remain as a coach/eventual stablemaster.(11/2/25 VERY LATE UPDATE: That’s the case. Also Endo’s retirement wasn’t officially announced until a couple days ago, but the Japan Sumo Association websites and mobile app don’t reflect it yet)

New Japan 10/26/25 Results

New Japan continued the Super Junior Tag League today with the halfway point of Block B.

Today’s event was held at Uonuma City Horinouchi Gym in Niigata and can be watched on demand on New Japan World. You can also watch the first 2 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

The announced paid attendance was 1205.

Match 1: Daiki Nagai & Clark Connors beat Zane Jay & Tatsuya Matsumoto. Nagai pinned Matsumoto.

Match 2: Yujiro Takahashi, Sho & DOUKI beat Masatora Yasuda, Boltin Oleg & Toru Yano. Takahashi pinned Yasuda after Pimp Juice.

Match 3: Callum Newman, Jacob Austin Young & Tamplario beat Shoma Kato, Dragon Dia (Dragon Gate) & Ryusuke Taguchi. Newman pinned Kato after Fireball.

Match 4: OSKAR (The Grouch), Yuto Ice (Ice Baby), Gedo & Hiromu Takahashi beat Katsuya Murashima, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Master Wato & Yoh. Ice pinned Murashima after Cruella.

Super Junior Tag League Block B:
Match 5: Dick Togo & Yoshinobu Kanemaru beat KUUKAI & El Desperado. Kanemaru pinned KUUKAI with Samson Clutch.
Match 6: Robbie X & Taiji Ishimori beat YAMATO (Dragon Gate) & Tiger Mask. X pinned TM 4 after X Express.
Main Event: Kosei Fujita & Robbie Eagles beat Yuki Yoshioka (Dragon Gate) & KUSHIDA. Eagles pinned KUSHIDA after The Interceptor.

Standings (Block B):
1-Eagles/Fujita, 3-0, 6 pts
2-Yoshioka/KUSHIDA, 2-1, 4 pts
3-X/Ishimori, 2-1, 4 pts
4-Desperado/KUUKAI, 1-2, 2 pts (OUT)
5-Togo/Kanemaru, 1-2, 2 pts (OUT)
6-YAMATO/TM 4, 0-3, 0 pts (OUT)
Only the winners advance the Finals. The bottom 3 are out with the 1 win teams being eliminated due to tiebreakers. While X/Ishimori were hurt by a forfeit in the last match due to Ishimori being out, today’s win keeps them in contention but they could use help from YAMATO/TM 4, who can still play spoiler as they still have Eagles/Fujita to come. Basically the upcoming match next time between 2nd & 3rd place right now is an eliminator and, in worst-case, can end it all (draw or no contest and Eagles/Fujita win).

The next event is Tuesday at Sado City Gym, the second of a 3-event Niigata stretch, with Block A. Live streaming on New Japan World will begin at 2:30 AM PT/5:30 AM ET.

Today’s event will be held at Kasukabe Fureai Cube in Saitama and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary.

The layout on the promotion’s website suggested a setup for around 350 (I think the venue’s full capacity for wrestling is around 500), based on the quick shot of the crowd before they went to the sponsor announcements I’m guessing it’ll be around 275.

Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling 10/26/25 LIVE Results (Updated x2)

Tokyo Joshi Pro continues their fall house show tour today in Tokyo, highlighted by the end of the NexGene ’25 Tournament. The winner will get a title shot of their choice, and being a double-elimination tournament makes for a unique final as Uta Takami faces Chika Nanase. If Takami wins she wins the tournament but if Nanase wins that’s only one loss so far for Takami so that would mean an immediate rematch and Nanase must beat Takami twice in a row to win.

It has been announced that Shoko Nakajima is off this event due to having completed in Mexico yesterday. (On another side note, today-yesterday Japan time-is Yuki Aino’s birthday, she turned 31) Also, after a successful defense earlier in the week it appears Mahiro Kiryu is still the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion, so you never know what will happen there. If so, if she loses in her match and gets pinned/submitted whoever beat her becomes champion.

Today’s event will be held at Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo and can be watched LIVE on WRESTLE UNIVERSE. There will be no commentary. Outside of the tournament final it’s otherwise a standard house show and should have a standard running time of about 2 hours. Also, due to simulcasting a Pro Wrestling NOAH event shortly after this event begins some results may be delayed slightly.

Today’s lineup (match order TBA):
Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino vs. Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida
Yuki Kamifuku, Wakana Uehara & Kira Summer vs. HIMAWARI, Shino Suzuki & Haru Kazashiro
Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami vs. Suzume & Pom Harajuku
Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu vs. Hyper Misao & Raku
Mizuki vs. Toga
Arisu Endo vs. Ren Konatsu
NexGene Tournament Finals: Uta Takami vs. Chika Nanase. If Nanase wins there will be an immediate rematch due to being a double-elimination format (Takami has no losses, Nanase has one)

Refresh this page occasionally for the latest results.

Updates below will begin at 8:30 PM PT/11:30 PM ET. The live stream is scheduled to begin 15 minutes before the event.

8:15 PM PT UPDATE: The live stream has begun. We should be going to the venue in 10-15 minutes.

8:28 PM PT UPDATE: Live updates begin now.

We are LIVE from Ryogoku KFC Hall in Tokyo, Japan. There is no commentary.

The paid attendance will be announced after the event. The setup appeared to be for around 350 (full capacity for the venue is roughly 500) but they have a lot going against them today-baseball (although World Series Game 2 featuring Shohei Ohtani is now over), other events and in particular a Marigold event coming up in a couple hours (also on WRESTLE UNIVERSE as a PPV). I’m guessing a little on the low side here and predicting it’ll be a crowd of about 200. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 282)

The matches should begin in about 10 minutes.

The matches begin at 8:40 PM PT/11:40 PM ET. Tournament Final will be match 5 today.

Match 1: Arisu Endo vs. Ren Konatsu. 15 minute time limit
Result: Arisu Endo beat Ren Konatsu by submission

Match 2: Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu vs. Hyper Misao & Raku. 20 minute time limit
Result: Hyper Misao & Raku beat Rika Tatsumi & Mahiro Kiryu. Raku pinned Kiryu.
During the match this happened…
RIka Tatsumi beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Mahiro Kiryu to win the title. Tatsumi becomes the 1779th Champion, I missed that spot.

Match 3: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami vs. Suzume & Pom Harajuku. 20 minute time limit
Result: Miyu Yamashita & Kaya Toribami beat Suzume & Pom Harajuku. Yamashita pinned Harajuku after Attitude Adjustment.

Match 4: Mizuki vs. Toga. 15 minute time limit
Result: Mizuki beat Toga

Match 5: NexGene ’25 Tournament Finals: Uta Takami vs. Chika Nanase. If Nanase wins there will be an immediate rematch due to being a double-elimination format. No time limit
Result: Chika Nanase beat Uta Takami. Which led to…
Immediate Rematch: Uta Takami vs. Chika Nanase. No time limit
Result: Uta Takami beat Chika Nanase by submission to win the tournament. As a result, Takami gets a TJPW title shot of her choice. And it looks like she’s made her choice…International Princess Championship as she called out Endo. That match likely will happen on 11/9 at Korakuen Hall. (UPDATE: It’s now official)

Match 6: Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino vs. Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida. 20 minute time limit
Result: Miu Watanabe & Yuki Aino beat Yuki Arai & Mifu Ashida. Aino beat Ashida with Full Nelson Of Love & Flame.

The next event is 11/1 at Shinjuku Face. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin at 2 AM PT/5 AM ET.

UPDATE 2: If Tatsumi is still Iron Man Champion at that time, she will defend the title on 11/1 vs. Pom Harajuku. As always with the title and it’s 24/7 nature, emphasis on “If” and this comes with the “subject to change” disclaimer.
