This template is called to set up the table giving the makuuchi record for an individual sumotori. It must be matched with a call to {{Sumo record box end}} at the end of the table data.
When called with no parameters or just the shikona parameter, the table defaults to one column for the year and one column for each of the six honbasho held in the modern era.
Between these two template calls should be one {{Sumo record year start}}— {{Sumo record year end}} pair for each year the sumotori was in makuuchi. Between each of those should be six calls to {{Basho}}. To ensure the table looks right always include six, even for honbasho that have not yet been fought, or that occurred that year prior to makuuchi promotion.
