Here is the list of rikishi who lost bouts this year that had kensho banners placed on them, and how much they left on the dohyo money-wise:
1. Takakeishou - 686 banners, lost 20,058,000 yen ($140,000).
2. Houshouryuu - 570 banners, 17,100,000 yen ($119,800).
3. Kirishima - 496 banners - 14,880,000 yen ($104,251)
4. Takayasu - 458 banners, 13,740,000 yen ($96,248)
4. Mitakeumi - 458 banners, 13,740,000 yen  ($96,248)

Quickest to get rich was Terunofuji, who in 7 bouts that took 95 seconds in total, (one of those bouts was against Kiribayama that lasted 69 seconds..) won the sum of 9,180,000 yen. Translated to hourly wages, it's a whopping 346,780,000 yen ( $2,430,000). He also was unbeaten  in the seven bouts he had with kensho when the kensho amount was more than 1 million yen (34 banners at least)., and was tied with Kotonowaka (1 bout, 1 win) with a perfect record.
