Ozeki Kaio had 879 makuuchi wins at retirement in July 2011.The only
other non-yokozuna with more than Akinoshima and Takanonami(tied at 647)
are Takamiyama (II) (683) and the ozeki Konishiki (649).

[apologies if double-posted;note that the recent basho saw Hakuho pass
three of those non-yokozuna]
