is a notation used in professional sumo wrestling to record a lower-ranked (''maegashira'') wrestler's victory over a ''yokozuna''. It is believed that the term stems from the usage of the terms ''shiroboshi'' (lit: white star) to designate a bout victory, and ''kuroboshi'' (black star) to designate a bout defeat. Thus, a "gold star" designates it as a special victory. The word ''kinboshi'' first came into popular use in the Taishō period 1912-1926, and the system of monetarily awarding a ''maegashira'' who defeated a ''yokozuna'' in an official tournament began in January, 1930. A ''kinboshi'' victory increases the balance in the ''maegashiras ''mochikyūkin'' account by 10 yen. This balance is converted using a multiplier, presently 4,000, and added to the wrestler's bonus in every subsequent tournament in which he competes as a ''sekitori''. With six tournaments a year, this one victory corresponds to a pay increase of 240,000 yen per annum for the remainder of the wrestler's ''sekitori'' career. The ''kinboshi'' record is held by former ''sekiwake'' Akinoshima who won 16 bouts against ''yokozuna'' when ranked as a ''maegashira''. 〔(Akinoshima - goo Sumo )〕 ==Restrictions== ''Kinboshi'' are not awarded to ''san'yaku'' ranked wrestlers who defeat a yokozuna, nor is it awarded if the ''maegashira'' beats a ''yokozuna'' with a default win (or ''fusenshō''). It is also not given if the ''yokozuna'' is disqualified for using an illegal move (or ''hansoku''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kinboshi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
