Strength index over time
What is the strength index?▼

A single number that represents a rikishi's current competitive strength.

• Calculated from every bout's wins and losses alone (not banzuke rank or body measurements).

・It rises more for wins over strong opponents and falls more for losses to lower-rated opponents.. The opponent's strength is part of the calculation.

• Everyone starts around 1,500 and rises with winning records. Upper Makuuchi is typically around 2500 or more or higher.

• Unlike the human-set banzuke, it is driven only by results, so it can show improvement or decline before the ranking catches up.

Based on an Elo rating adapted from systems used in games such as chess.
