{{Italic title|reason=[[:Category:Japanese words and phrases]]}}
{{nihongo|'''''Kinboshi'''''|金星||lit: gold star}} is a notation used in professional [[sumo]] wrestling to record a lower-ranked (''[[maegashira]]'') wrestler's victory over a ''[[yokozuna (sumo)|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 ''maegashira'''s ''[[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''.<ref>[http://www.sumo.or.jp/en/sumo_data/rikishi/profile?id=7 Akinoshima - goo Sumo] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140606225237/http://www.sumo.or.jp/en/sumo_data/rikishi/profile?id=7 |date=2014-06-06 }}</ref>

==Restrictions==

''Kinboshi'' are not awarded to ''[[sanyaku|san'yaku]]'' ranked wrestlers who defeat a yokozuna, nor is it awarded if the ''maegashira'' beats a ''yokozuna'' with a default win (or ''[[fusensho|fusenshō]]''). It is also not given if the ''yokozuna'' is disqualified for using an illegal move (or ''hansoku'').

==Other uses==

''Ginboshi'' (銀星 or silver star) is also used informally to denote a ''maegashira'' victory over an ''[[Makuuchi#Ōzeki|ōzeki]].'' However, there is no monetary bonus for such a win, nor are official ''ginboshi'' records kept. The unofficial record holder for silver star victories is [[Aminishiki Ryuji|Aminishiki]], with 47.

The term ''kinboshi'' is used outside sumo in informal language. It can mean a major victory, or (in slang) a beautiful woman.

==List of ''kinboshi'' records==
Tables for both ''kinboshi'' earned (by ''maegashira'') and those conceded (by ''yokozuna'') are given below. 
''Kinboshi appearing in individual wrestlers' records before they began to be awarded in January, 1930 are unofficial and retrospectively conferred.''

{{Nihongo|'''Nishonoseki stable'''|二所ノ関部屋|Nishonoseki beya}}, formerly known as '''Matsugane stable''', is a [[Heya (sumo)|stable]] of [[sumo]] wrestlers. It was founded in 1990 by [[Wakashimazu]] of the [[Futagoyama stable]]. Wakashimazu, now known as Nishonoseki-''oyakata'', is also the chairman of the Nishonoseki group of stables or ''[[ichimon]]''. It has produced four top ''[[makuuchi]]'' division wrestlers in that time; {{Interlanguage link multi|Wakakosho Taihei|ja|3=若光翔大平|lt=Wakakosho}} (2000), [[Wakatsutomu]] (2001), [[Harunoyama]] (2004), and [[Shōhōzan Yūya|Shōhōzan]] (2011). After the retirement of Harunoyama in November 2006 the stable had no ''[[sekitori]]'' until Shōhōzan (then known as Matsutani) reached the ''[[jūryō]]'' division in March 2010. As of January 2020 it had 11 wrestlers.

In late 2014, the general consensus among those with connections to the Nishonoseki ''ichimon'' was that an ''ichimon'' so named without a Nishonoseki stable as its head was a misnomer. In accordance with this general opinion, the ''[[oyakata]]'' of Matsugane stable, which had absorbed support personnel from the defunct Nishonoseki when it closed, decided to revive the name. He switched his Matsugane elder name with the former [[Tamarikidō]]'s Nishonoseki elder name, thus allowing him to rename the stable. The former Tamarikidō, now known as Matsugane-''oyakata'', also joined the newly renamed stable.<ref>[http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20141123-00000011-spnannex-spo An item for Sadanoumi from Kumamon -　Nikkan Sports 2014/11/23]</ref>

==Ring name conventions==
Some wrestlers at this stable take ring names or ''[[shikona]]'' that begin with the character 若 (read: waka), meaning young, in deference to their coach and the stable's owner, the former Wakashimazu.
