List of sumo tournament second division winners
This is a list of wrestlers who have won the sumo second division jūryō championship since 1958, when the modern system of six official tournaments a year was established. These official tournaments are held exclusively in Japan. [1] The championship is determined by the wrestler with the highest win-loss score after fifteen bouts, held at a rate of one per day over the duration of the 15 day tournament. In the event of a tie a play-off is held between the wrestlers concerned. [2] Names in bold mark an undefeated victory (a zenshō-yūshō). Figures in brackets mark the number of championships earned at that point by wrestlers who have won a championship more than once.
The wrestler who has won the most jūryō championships is Masurao, with five. Wakanami and Tagaryū are the only wrestlers to have won a jūryō championship after winning a makuuchi title.
