Sumo-March 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 6 Results (3/13/2026) (Top 2 Tiers)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 6 of the March 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament in Osaka:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, Y-Yokozuna, J-Juryo

Makuuchi (top tier):
Chiyoshoma (M14) beat Asahakuryu (M16)
Nishikifuji (M14) beat Fujiryoga (M17)
Kinbozan (M16) beat Tobizaru (M13)
Fujiseiun (M13) beat Mitakeumi (M15)
Kotoeiho (M17) beat Asakoryu (M12)
Asanoyama (M12) beat Shishi (M11)
Oshoumi (M11) beat Tokihayate (M9)
Gonoyama (M10) beat Tamawashi (M9)
Shodai (M8) beat Roga (M10)
Ichiyamamoto (M6) beat Ura (M8)
Onokatsu (M6) beat Oshoma (M7)
Kotoshoho (M5) beat Takanosho (M4)
Daieisho (M4) beat Churanoumi (M2)
Fujinokawa (M2) beat Wakamotoharu (K)
Kirishima (S) beat Yoshinofuji (M1)
Wakatakakage (M1) beat Takayasu (S)
Oho (M3) beat Aonishiki (O)
Atamifuji (K) beat Kotozakura (O)
Hoshoryu (Y) beat Hiradoumi (M3)
Leader: 6 at 5-1
RE-ENTRY: Hakunofuji (M7). Will return tomorrow. Was expected to be out the rest of the tournament after withdrawing on Day 2 due to a Lisfranc/toe injury, which is related to prior toe injuries recently. Will be the equivalent of 0-6 so he still has a chance at promotion but this may be to try and get a couple wins to prevent potential demotion to Juryo.
Of note: No unbeatens left as the remaining ones lost today, so now there’s a logjam at the top that does include Hoshoryu, and with Aonishiki 2 wins back plus no Onosato he has a real chance for that first post-promotion championship. Onokatsu won in his return after being absent 4 days so, not counting Hakunofuji and the absent Midorifuji, the only winless left otherwise is Wakamotoharu who now is 0-6 and has to go 8-1 to save his rank again after going from 0-5 to 8-7 in January. Hoshoryu has Oho tomorrow, who has beaten the Yokozuna a couple times although his last win was a fusen.
Yokozuna Watch-It’s all but over for Aonishiki this time as he fell to 3-3. Now he has to win out and at least force yet another playoff for any chance at promotion.

Juryo:
Kotokuzan (J14) beat Nishikigi (J12)
Kazekeno (J14) beat Kazuma (J11)
Toshinofuji (J11) beat Fujitensei (J13)
Dewanoryu (J10) beat Shimazuumi (J13)
Tohakuryu (J10) beat Tsurugisho (J12)
Hatsuyama (M9) beat Shonannoumi (M8)
Meisei (J7) beat Tamashoho (J9)
Hitoshi (J6) beat Kayo (J6)
Kitanowaka (J8) beat Kagayaki (J5)
Shirokuma (J5) beat Kyokukaiyu (J7)
Daiseizan (J3) beat Takerufuji (J4)
Tomokaze (J2) beat Asasuiryu (J2)
Ryuden (J1) beat Nishinoryu (J4)
Wakanosho (J3) beat Sadanoumi (J1)
Leader: Wakanosho (6-0)
Of note: Kazuma taking his first loss after a strong start to his second Juryo effort leaves Wakanosho the sole unbeaten, almost halfway to a repeat championship and a likely promotion to the top tier. Kitanowaka & Kazekeno are also in the 5-1 group. And remember Tsurugisho saying post-marriage he’ll retire when he’s demoted out of Juryo? Sounds like this is it as he’s 0-6 and seemingly on his farewell tour now. At least as a wrestler, he does qualify for elder stock when he retires.

Lower tier notes: A very odd and rare occurrence in the Jonokuchi today, a scheduled match ended in a double fusen because both wrestlers could not participate. Both withdrew due to various medical reasons last-minute. So what happens when a situation like this arises? It counts as a loss for both. Nikkan Sports reports this is only the second time in recent memory this has happened, the first being during the pandemic. Elsewhere, tomorrow starts Promotion Day in the lower tiers and with Makushita men going back up to Juryo starting tomorrow, Okaryu goes up from Ms2 for perhaps a preview of May as the Tatsunami man will clinch promotion with a win that would take him to 4-0. Enho is in the last match of the day against Himukamaru, also 2-1 and looking for a Juryo return from Ms1.

DEVELOPING: TJPW Wrestler 3/29/2026 Appearance Cancelled

A strange breaking development that affects Tokyo Joshi Pro’s GRAND PRINCESS ’26 event on 3/29: Lei Ying Lee (fka Xia Li), who was previously confirmed for the event, is now off. Details are sketchy but it appears to be a decision made by TNA Wrestling, where Lee is currently signed to. TJPW tried to make things worked but couldn’t. TNA shared the following statement:

“TNA sincerely apologizes for Lei Ying Lee’s inability to participate in TJPW’s Ryogoku Sumo Hall show on March 29.
Neither Lee nor TJPW are at fault for this situation, and we thank TJPW for accommodating this change.
Once again, we apologize to TJPW, TJPW fans, as well as as Miyu Yamashita, Arisu Endo, and Sareee who were announced in this match with Lee, for the absence of Lei Ying Lee at the last minute for the Ryogoku Sumo Hall show which we know is very important for TJPW. We wish TJPW continued success and appreciated their partnership.”

After doing some research, one possible explanation for Lee being pulled is scheduling conflicts. TNA has their monthly PPV in the US on 3/27 (OK, technically it’s a PLE but it’s also a PPV. An el cheapo $9.99 PPV but still a PPV) and then a night of TV tapings on 3/28. If Lee is a part of those, there’s no way she can make it to Japan in time for the 3/29 event.

As for the card…she was to have teamed with Sareee to face Miyu Yamashita & Arisu Endo. Takumi Iroha is the replacement. This will apparently be the first time Iroha has appeared in TJPW.

Sumo-March 2035 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 5 Results (3/12/2026) (Top 2 Tiers)

Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Seliwake, O-Ozeki, Y-Yokozuna, J-Juryo

Makuuchi (top tier):
Kotoeiho (M17) beat Mitakeumi (M15)
Fujiryoga (M17) beat Chiyoshoma (M14)
Kinbozan (M16) beat Fujiseiun (M13)

Asanoyama (M12) beat Nishikifuji (M14)
Asakoryu (M12) beat Roga (M10)
Gonoyama (M10) beat Oshoumi (M11)
Shishi (M11) beat Tokihayate (M9)
Tamawashi (M9) beat Ura (M8)
Shodai (M8) beat Oshoma (M7)
Takanosho (M4) beat Onokatsu (M6)
Daieisho (M4) beat Kotoshoho (M5)
Ichiyamamoto (M6) beat Oho (M3)
Hiradoumi (M1) beat Atamifuji (K)
Takayasu (S) beat Yoshinofuji (M1)

Aonishiki (O) beat Fujinokawa (M2)
Hoshoryu (Y) beat Churanoumi (M2)
Leader: Takayasu, Takanosbo (5-0)
Of note: The leaderboard shrank from 4 to 2 at the top today, and for the first time since July 2023 Takayasu is 5-0 and teasing both another chance at that elisive first Emperor’s Cup. However…the last time he was 5-0? Demotion as he finished 7-8. As for Takanosho, he could give the former Takakeisho a championship in his first tournament as stablemaster Minatogawa. Hoshoryu is right there at 4-1 along with 7 others.
Yokozuna Watch: Aonishiki was back in the win column today and is now 3-2, still with a chance. He has Oho tomorrow who can’t be overlooked despite a 1-4 start.

Juryo:
Kotokuzan (J14) beat Tsurugisho (J12)
Nishikigi (J12) beat Fujitensei (J13)
Kazekeno (J14) beat Toshinofuji (J11)
Dewanoryu (J10) beat Tohakuryy (J10)
Hatsuyama (J9) beat Shimazuumi (J13)

Daiseizan (J3) beat Sadanoumi (J1)
Ryuden (J1) beat Tomokaze (J2)
Leader: Wakanosho, Kazuma (5-0)

Lower tier notes: Enho lost to fellow Makushita promotion candidate Okaryu (Ms2) today to fall to 2-1, but still has a chance at promotion to Juryo if he finishes 6-1, maybe 5-2 but it depends on what else happens. No match tomorrow.

Sumo-March 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 4 Results (3/11/2026) (Top 2 Tiers)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 4 of the March 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament in Osaka:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, Y-Yokozuna, J-Juryo

As today-March 11-is the 15th Anniversary of the Great Japan Earthquake of 2011 that decimated eastern parts of the country, especially Fukushima prefecture, each department held a moment of silence today in remembrance of the victims. The quake struck at 2:46 PM, which was 1:46 AM ET/10:46 PM PT. In sumo in recent years, the prefecture has been buoyed by the Onami brothers-Wakamotoharu & Wakatakakage-who have been mainstays in the top tier and Wakatakakage has also won the Emperor’s Cup once. Their older brother, Wakatakamoto, currently is in Makushita.

Makuuchi (top tier):
Asahakuryu (M16) beat Fujiryoga (M17)
Kotoeiho (M17) beat Kinbozan (M16)
Nishikifuji (M14) beat Mitakeumi (M15)
Fujiseiun (M13) beat Tobizaru (M13)
Asanoyama (M12) beat Chiyoshoma (M14)
Asakoryu (M12) beat Oshoumi (M11)
Tokihayate (M9) beat Roga (M10)
Shishi (M11) beat Tamawashi (M9)
Shodai (M8) beat Gonoyama (M10)
Daieisho (M4) beat Ura (M8)
Takanosho (M4) beat Oshoma (M7)
Hiradoumi (M3) beat Ichiyamamoto (M6)
Kotoshoho (M5) beat Oho (M3)
Atamifuji (K) beat Wakamotoharu (K)
Kirishima (S) beat Wakatakakage (M1)
Churanoumi (M2) beat Aonishiki (O)
Takayasu (S) beat Kotozakura (O)
Yoshinofuji (M1) beat Onosato (Y) by default/withdrawal
Fujinokawa (M2) beat Hoshoryu (Y). KINBOSHI!!! The second career-and second straight-Gold Star Victory for Fujinokawa!
Leader: Takayasu, Takanosho, Kotoshoho (4-0)
WITHDRAWAL: Onosato (Y). Dislocated shoulder. Seems to be his previously injured left shoulder per Nikkan Sports, who got comments from his stablemaster Nishonoseki on the matter. Tournament likely over. Expected to be out 3 weeks. Surgery is possible but seems unlikely and Onosato is expected back for the Spring provincial tour in April. Yoshinofuji got the fusen as a result, but not another kinboshi. This also means, if he misses 4 more days, Onosato’s run of no losing tournaments in his entire career to date is over.
RE-ENTRY: Onokatsu (M6). Will return tomorrow. He was out the last 4 days with a left ankle sprain, which was expected to keep him out 2 weeks. Will be the equivalent of 0-4 and probably needs a win to ensure he is safe from demotion to Juryo in worst-case.
Of note: Tamawashi’s latest Iron Man feat is in the books as he is now the all-time leader in top tier matches with 1471. Unfortunately the bad luck continues as he is 0-4 and is going to need some wins to keep those runs going. At M9 he probably needs just 2 wins to be safe from demotion to Juryo. Also, for a second straight day a match ended with a non-winning technique as Takanosho beat Oshoma by tsukihiza, knee touch down. Right after the match began Oshoma bent his right knee down too far and it inadverttently touched the ground. Not injured, just accidental. Elsewhere, Fujinokawa became the latest to scalp both Yokozuna in a tournament and he reportedly gave his prize money today to oyakata Kabutoyama (formerly Oikari), who is his father. He already has more kinboshi than the old man did in his career.
Yokozuna Watch: Aonishiki’s hopes aren’t gone but now it’s the danger zone at 2-2. Still early and plenty of time but he can only afford maybe one more loss.

Juryo:
Kazekeno (J14) beat Shimazuumi (J13)
Fujisentsei (J13) beat Kotokuzan (J14)
Nishikigi (J12) beat Tsurugisho (J12)
Dewanoryu (J10) beat Toshinofuji (J11)
Tohakuryu (J10) beat Tamashoho (J9)
Kazuma (J11) beat Hatsuyama (J9)
Kiwanowaka (J8) beat Shonannoumi (J8)
Kyokukaiyu (J7) beat Hitoshi (J6)
Meisei (J7) beat Kagayaki (J5)
Kayo (J6) beat Shirokuma (J5)
Nishinoryu (J4) beat Takerufuji (J4)
Wakanosho (J3) beat Asasuiryu (J2)
Daiseizan (J3) beat Ryuden (J1)
Sadanoumi (J1) beat Tomokaze (J2)
Leader: Wakanosho, Kyokukaiyu, Kazume, Fujitensei (4-0)

Lower tier notes: Enho beat Shimanoumi today for his second win and a 2-0 start, halfway to promotion in Makushita. Tomorrow he faces Okaryu, who is also 2-0 at Ms2 and looking for promotion to Juryo. Tough one for me because as a Tatsunami man prominently featured on their YouTube channel Okaryu has become one of my favorites along with Enho.

DDT 3/11/2026 Results (Updated)

Today’s event was held at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The paid attendance was not announced.

Pre-show Match: Tokyo Joshi Pro match: Rika Tatsumi & Uta Takami beat Yuki Kamifuku & Kira Summer. Tatsumi pinned Summer after Missile Hip.

Match 2: HARASHIMA & Antonio Honda beat Jun Akiyama & Kazuki Hirata. Honda pinned Hirata after a HARASHIMA Blue Sword.

During the opening announcements that followed, Antonio Honda vs. Yoh (New Japan) was announced for 4/15 at Korakuen Hall. Honda announced he would defend the Iron Man Title then against Yoh. However…
GM Imabayashi beat DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Champion Antonio Honda to win the title. Imabayashi becomes the 1810th Champion.

That match will happen on 3/22 at Korakuen Hall. As for Imabayashi…odds are his Iron Man reign will also end on 3/22 as he will defend the title in a 1 vs. 6 Handicap Match against Honda, Minoru Suzuki, Sanshiro Takagi, Dnashoku Dieno, Super Sasadango Machine & Toru Owashi. Then we’ll see what happens because if Rika Tatsumi doesn’t steal it back that will affect Tokyo Joshi Pro’s 3/29 event as she was supposed to defend the ttile then in a battle royal. With the “Card subject to change” caveat of course. But hey, if it means Mahiro Kiryu can’t win it back I will not complain. Also, TJPW will have a pre-show match on 3/22.

The next event is Sunday at Yume Messe Miyagi in Miyagi. There will be no live broadcast. On demand on 3/18.

UPDATE: TJPW has announced whoever is champion on 3/29 will defend in the battle royal…which is now a 12 person battle royal as Tatsumi aka some weird alter-ego has been added as a challenger.

TJPW News: Street Performance Leads To Incident

First things first-this was a promotional stunt for GRAND PRINCESS ‘26 so don’t be too alarmed. Here’s what happened-as part of a “challenge” issued by event PR Ambassador Super Sasadango Machine, Tokyo Joshi Pro roomie Shion Kanzaki did a live street performance in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo where she performed her entrance theme. She did and received cheers & applause from some onlookers. Mission acocmplished. But then, a masked assailant attacked Representative President Tetsuya Koda, who was there, with a saber and beat him down. It was revealed to be Sumire Uesaka, a popular voice actress who sold out Ryogoku Kokugikan with a solo performance in 2016. Uesaka received word yesterday she is in the 10-person battle royal on 3/29 for the DDT Iron Man Heavymetalweight Championship currently held by Rika Tatsumi (POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT-unfortunately Mahiro Kiryu is in it too) and attacked Koda as part of a promo until Kanzaki intervened.

In other words…Pro Wrestling Everybody!!!

The rest of the participants were announced last night along with the full card: Tatsumi, Kiryu, Raku, Mifu Ashida, Kira Sunmer, Chika Nanase, Sakura Hattori*, Matcha, Momo Sato, Minimo Chan (with Mari Haguchi). But as always with this title, Card Subject To Change.

The event will have 10 total matches with an intermission before the 3 title matches that will be the 8th-10th matches.

*-Soon-to-be fka Kaya Toribami after this Sunday’s event. Since last weekend’s event she announced a new name and video clips have surfaced online related to this. They can be viewed on TJPW’s YouTube channel.
