In 1995, yokozuna Takanohana finished first place, while fellow yokozuna Akebono ranked second. The third-ranked sumo wrestler was ōzeki Wakanohana, who took the championship title at the November Kyūshū Basho after winning in a playoff against his brother Takanohana, the first tournament bout between brothers in the history of sumo.
