Number 100 (or #100) is a starting position given to competitors anticipated to have the highest chance of achieving Kanzenseiha during a tournament. While the numbering system has never been completely based on raw skill, it has usually gone to competitors who are either the current Grand Champion, were among the best competitors during the previous tournaments, or with some exceptions due to special circumstances or the reputation of the competitor.
SASUKE[]
In SASUKE, only Morimoto Yūsuke achieved the feat of kanzenseiha while wearing the coveted number 100, doing so in SASUKE 38 with 2.52 seconds remaining, a feat that took 23 years to achieve.
In the 10th, 20th, 30th and 40th anniversary competitions, the numbers was listed in the 1000s; as such, #100 was listed as #1000, #2000, #3000 and #4000 respectively.
In SASUKE 18, due to Nagano Makoto's Kanzenseiha, a special 1200m race was held with the winner getting to choose their number first. Kato Masafumi won the race, but would choose #77 instead, allowing Kume Ryouta to pick #100.
Yamada Katsumi was given #100 due to his vow of retirement should he fail to clear the First Stage during SASUKE 17. Although he failed to clear the stage, he would return for SASUKE 18 and numerous tournaments afterward. Nagano Makoto was given #100 during SASUKE 28 due to the anticipated retirement of the SASUKE All-Stars although multiple All-Stars would return for following tournaments. However, in SASUKE 32, he was given #100 one final time due to his own self-imposed retirement. Morimoto Yūsuke was given #3000 during SASUKE 30 due to his performance in SASUKE ASEAN Open Cup 2014.
Number 100 in SASUKE has been worn fifteen times by Nagano Makoto, eleven times by Morimoto Yūsuke, seven times by Yamada Katsumi, three times by Akiyama Kazuhiko, twice by Urushihara Yuuji, and once by four others: Kawashima Hiroshi, Omori Akira, Kume Ryouta, and Matachi Ryo. Morimoto Yūsuke also hold the record of wearing the #100 for the most number of consecutive tournaments, at 10 since SASUKE 33.
Number 100 in SASUKE has achieved Kanzenseiha once, failed the Final Stage seven times, the Third Stage ten times, the Second Stage seven times, and the First Stage seventeen times.
