The UDH banzuke was supposed to be a real banzuke at first (i.e. 40 Makuuchi rikishi, 26 Juryo, ...). This very first UDH banzuke was created under this condition. Shiyonofuji announced in May 1998 that it would be a Hoshitori-like banzuke, also using the promotion grid of the brother game. Therefore this banzuke is a mixed banzuke: The players ranked from Se down to M11e are those who played in March. The M16 in the last line are the newcomers in this basho.
