## What is banzuke?

Banzuke brings the world of professional sumo wrestling to your fingertips. Browse tournaments, study the rankings, follow daily match schedules, and explore detailed wrestler profiles — all in one beautifully designed app.

Everything you need as a sumo fan:

- Basho — Tournament overviews with yusho winners and special prize recipients
- Banzuke — Traditional East/West ranking sheets for all six divisions, from Makuuchi to Jonokuchi
- Torikumi — Daily match schedules with a spoiler-free mode so you can watch at your own pace
- Rikishi — Wrestler profiles with career stats, win rates, stable info, and official portraits
- Matchup — Head-to-head records and AI-powered match simulations that analyze styles, form, and technique

Designed for sumo fans:

- Spoiler-free mode hides match results until you're ready — tap to reveal
- Favorite your preferred wrestlers and filter any screen to follow their progress
- Search by wrestler name or stable
- Bilingual interface in English and Japanese
- Covers 30+ past tournaments for historical browsing
- Works offline with cached data from your last session

Built with respect for sumo tradition. Correct terminology throughout — basho, banzuke, torikumi, rikishi, kimarite. The bilateral East/West layout mirrors the real banzuke scroll.

Powered by data from the Sumo API. Matchup simulations use on-device Apple Intelligence where available.
