RE: Tochinoshin (Georgian Rikishi, Levan Gorgadze) is the Champion. Hatsu Basho 2018. So proud of him. Tochinoshin（グルジアのRikishi、Levan Gorgadze）はチャンピオンです。 Hatsu Basho 2018。彼を誇りに思う。
You are right @anakur. At least 33 wins, but this doesn't guarantee the Ozeki rank.
The second highest rank in sumo. Promotion is discretionary but is primarily based on a wrestlers record. A total of 33 wins over three tournaments almost always gets a wrestler a Ozeki rank. Ozeki rank isn't permanent. Wrestlers must maintain a good record to keep the title.
If one day we see him with Yokozuna title ....
But we should also admit, that he got lucky with Kisenosato and Hakuho were injured and left the Basho unfinished.
But we also have to admit, that if he had lost to Kisenosato and Hakuho, He would still finish the Basho with 12-3. And who knows, maybe he could beat one or both Yokozunas. 13-2 or Same 14-1. :)
