Predicted November 2026 banzuke

There are almost no exact rules for the banzuke. The written rules cover ozeki demotion and return (Banzuke Rules art. 8), the capacity of each division and the minimum san'yaku slots; the rest of the movement is custom. So this prediction does not aim to be right, but to be a reproducible calculation with an honestly reported hit rate.

New recruits are not predicted. Newcomers coming up from maezumo and rikishi returning from off the banzuke have no previous record, so their ranks cannot be calculated. On the real banzuke they join the lower part of Jonokuchi, so Jonokuchi numbers and size may differ by a few slots.
