Sumo-May 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 11 Results (5/20/2026) (Top 2 Tiers) (Updated)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 11 of the May 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, J-Juryo, Ms-Makushita

Makuuchi (top tier):
Mitakeumi (M14) beat Hatsuyama (J3)
Oshouni (M15) beat Shishi (M12)
Tamawashi (M13) beat Kinbozan (M11)
Ura (M11) beat Wakanosho (M16)
Hakunofuji (M10) beat Fujiryoga (M17)
Tobizaru (M15) beat Asanoyama (M10)
Ryuden (M16) beat Nishikifuji (M9)
Roga (M14) beat Abi (M9)
Tokihayate (M12) beat Asahakuryu (M8)
Kotoeiho (M13) beat Oshoma (M8)
Ichiyamamoto (M2) beat Gonoyama (M4)
Yoshinofuji (M2) beat Hiradoumi (M3)
Daieisho (M1) beat Takanosho (M1)
Oho (M3) beat Fujinokawa (M1)
Kotoshoho (S) beat Fujiseiun (M6)
Churanoumi (M6) beat Atamifuji (S)
Kirishima (O) beat Wakatakakage (K)
Shodai (M5) beat Kotozakura (O). That means, for the second time as Ozeki and first since January 2025, Kotozakura kadoban…
Leader: Kirishima, Kotoeiho, Tobizaru (9-2)
Of note: For now the 6-way leaderboard is down to 3. Fujiryoga & Gonoyama both lost while Wakatakakage was beaten by Kirishima but at 8-3 are not out of it. The trailing pack was joined by Hakunofuji who beat Fujiryoga to clinch promotion. Several demotions were also handed out but the most notable was Kotozakura, who now must win at least 8 matches in July or be demoted, which potentially could mean no Ozeki in September depending on how Kirishima & Aonishiki fare next time (Kirishima could be going for Yokozuna promotion, Aonishiki will be Sekiwake and must win 10 matches to be re-promoted).
And hope remains alive-Tamawashi has a winning streak going! He will still be demoted but now has improved to 2-9, and if the Iron Man can win out to get to 6-9 he can still move a couple spots higher on the all-time top tier win rankings. I still believe he needs at least 2 more wins to remain in the top tier.
Kirishima’s opponent tomorrow is Kotoshoho who is 7-4, meaning he needs a win to stay Sekiwake in July. Kotoshoho won their last meeting in July last year.

Juryo:
Hitoshi (J12) beat Gojinyu (Ms4)
Kazekeno (J11) beat Enho (J14)
Midorifuji (J10) beat Tamashoho (J12)
Nishikigi (J11) beat Tohakuryu (J10)
Hakuyozan (J13) beat Kayo (J9)
Tochitaikai (J14) beat Nishinoryu (J9)
Okaryu (J13) beat Shirokuma (J8)
Asasuiryu (J4) beat Shonannoumi (J8)
Toshinofuji (J7) beat Kyokukaiyu (J4)
Dewanoryu (J3) beat Kagayaki (J7)
Takerufuji (J2) beat Kitanowaka (J5)
Tomokaze (J5) beat Sadanoumi (J2)
Meisei (J6) beat Daiseizan (J1)
Onokatsu (J1) beat Kazuma (J6)
Leader: Kazekeno (10-1)
Of note: Unfortunately Kazekeno keeping the lead came at the expense of Enho, denied promotion once again and all but out of the championship race now (still in it but is 3 behind with 4 left). It’s now Kazekeno’s to lose as the only one even within 2 wins now is Kazuma (the only 8-3 right now). Kazekeno can all but clinch tomorrow by beating Asasuiryu. If that happens and Daiseizan beats Kazuma, worst-case for Kazekeno would be a playoff as he would be 3 wins ahead with only 3 matches left.

Lower tier notes: Today begins setting up Friday’s Championship Day matches in the lower tiers. The Makushita championship is Akua’s to lose as he is the only 6-0. He will be the champion if he wins his last match. Otherwise there likely will be a playoff and a rare 6-1 champion. He will have a slim chance of a Juryo return if he goes 7-0 as he is Ms22. The Sandanme likely will have a playoff with 4 at 6-0 including Asahifuji-who was in Makushita today and won, plus Mita & Kiryuko. Tenshoyama, in just his third career tournament, is the other and could play spoiler. The Jonidan championship match will be Shosei vs. Maniwayama while in the Jonokuchi Hakugetsuro is the sole 6-0 and will be champion by winning his final match.

UPDATE: Nikkan Sports provided an update on Yumenofuji, the Makushita wrestler who was taken out on a stretcher with an AED attached to his body and hospitalized following his loss yesterday, where he fell off the dohyo and was injured. Concussion. Although not listed as a withdrawal yet, tournament over. Out at least 1 week. The loss meant the first demotion of his career as he was 1-4 after the loss. He intends to return to training and competing once recovered & cleared.

Sumo-May 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 10 Results (5/19/2026) (Top 2 Tiers) (Updated)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 10 of the May 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, J-Juryo, Ms-Makushita

Makuuchi (top tier):
Dewanoryu (J3) beat Roga (M14)
Kotoeiho (M13) beat Ryuden (M16)
Wakanosho (M16) beat Shishi (M12)
Fujiryoga (M17) beat Tokohayate (M12)
Mitakeumi (M14) beat Kinbozan (M11)
Tobizaru (M15) beat Abi (M9)
Oshoumi (M15) beat Nishikifuji (M9)
Ura (M11) beat Oshoma (M8)
Tamawashi (M13) beat Asahakuryu (M8)
Hakunofuji (M10) beat Chiyoshoma (M7)
Asanoyama (M10) beat Fujiseiun (M6)
Daieisho (M4) beat Churanoumi (M6)
Yoshinofuji (M2) beat Ichiyamamoto (M2)
Fujinokawa (M1) beat Hiradoumi (M3)
Oho (M3) beat Takanosho (M1)
Wakatakakage (K) beat Atamifuji (S)
Gonoyama (M4) beat Kotoshoho (S)
Kotozakura (O) beat Wakamotoharu (M5)
Shodai (M5) beat Kirishima (O)
Leader: 6 at 8-2
Of note: Shodai showed up today and chaos ensued. Instead of Kirishima maintaining the sole lead it’s now a 6-way tie. Kirishima was banged up after yesterday (busted open and possibly dazed after bis win) but seems to be fine. And there is hope again-Tamawashi finally got a win! I still think he needs 3 more to stay in the top tier.
Kirishima faces Wakatakakage in a battle of co-leaders tomorrow. Kirishima has won their meeting in each of the last 4 tournaments.

Juryo:
Tamashoho (J12) beat Himukamaru (Ms4)
Nishikigi (J11) beat Okaryu (J13)
Hitoshi (J12) beat Tohakuryu (J10)
Hakuyozan (J13) beat Midorifuji (J10)
Nishinoryu (J9) beat Enho (J14)
Tochitaikai (J14) beat Kayo (J9)
Kazekeno (J11) beat Shirokuma (J8)
Shonannoumi (J8) beat Kyokukaiyu (J4)
Asasuiryu (J4) beat Toshinofuji (J7)
Kagayaki (J7) beat Hatsuyama (J3)
Meisei (J6) beat Sadanoumi (J2)
Kazuma (J6) beat Takerufuji (J2)
Kitanowaka (J5) beat Onokatsu (J1)
Daiseizan (J1) beat Tomokaze (J5)
Leader: Kazekeno (9-1)
Of note: Kazekeno remains the sole leader and one ahead of Kazuma, who clinched promotion today at 8-2. Enho took his 3rd loss to be denied promotion but he’s got a big chance tomorrow as he faces Kazekeno, needing a win to stay in championship contention. Much to my dismay, Okaryu likely will be demoted to Makushita after falling to 2-8 today as his debut effort fell apart after a first day win.
Gojijyu will be the Makushita man up tomorrow, he is 3-2 at Ms4 and will try to clinch promotion after Himukamaru was denied today. Hatsuyama is the Juryo man in the top tier tomorrow and will try to avoid demotion against Mitakeumi.

UPDATE: There was a very scary scene after a lower tier match today. Yahoo News Japan, via Nikkan Sports, reports it happened in Makushita…after the Kiyota-Yumenofuji match, won by Kiyota, Yumenofuji fell off the dohyo and hit the back of his head, and had to be taken out on a stretcher with an AED attached to his upper body. He was hospitalized immediately. According to Tateyama, a coach at Isegahama Beya where Yumenofuji is based, Yumenofuji was able to move his hands and was speaking with stablemaster Isegahama (fka Terunofuji). More when/if it becomes available.

Also, the lovable loser keeps it going-with a loss today that’s 40 consecutive demotions/losing records for Moriurara, currently in the Jonokuchi.

Regarding Aja Kong 40th Anniversary Event Results (5/16/2026)

I had been hoping to already have results from the Aja Kong 40th Anniversary event that took place on 5/16 but haven’t been able to find them yet. But some good news on that front from Kong herself-thanks to an EMERGENCY DECISION today the full event will now be available on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE Wednesday, so results will be up later this week once I have a chance to watch. There was going to be no broadcast at all so lucky us. (Some ring entrances will be muted due to music rights)

Sumo-May 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament Day 9 Results (5/18/2026) (Top 2 Tiers)

Here are the quick results from today’s Day 9 of the May 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, J-Juryo, Ms-Makushita

Makuuchi (top tier):
Takerufuji (J2) beat Oshoumi (M15)
Wakanosho (M15) beat Roga (M14)
Fujiryoga (M17) beat Mitakeumi (M14)
Kotoeiho (M13) beat Tobizaru (M15)
Shishi (M12) beat Tamawashi (M13)
Kinbozan (M11) beat Ryuden (M16!
Ura (M11) beat Tokihayate (M12)
Hakunofuji (M10) beat Abi (M9)
Asanoyama (M10) beat Chiyoshoma (M7)
Nishikifuji (M9) beat Fujiseiun (M6)
Churanoumi (M6) beat Oshoma (M8)
Shodai (M5) beat Asahakuryu (M8)
Yoshinofuji (M2) beat Oho (M3)
Takanosho (M1) beat Hiradoumi (M3)
Ichiyamamoto (M2) beat Fujinokawa (M1)
Kotoshoho (S) beat Wakatakakage (K)
Atamifuji (S) beat Daieisho (M4)
Kirishima (O) beat Wakamotoharu (M5)
Gonoyama (M4) beat Kotozakura (O)
Leader: Kirishima (8-1)
Of note: After his first loss yesterday Kirishima got back to winning today and secured his Ozeki rank with an 8th win, reclaiming the sole lead after Wakatakakage & Tobizaru both lost. As for the other Ozeki, 5 straight losses for Kotozakura have him in the danger zone again at 2-7, meaning he now must win out just to protect bis rank. Oshoumi will possibly be demoted to Juryo after today’s loss and the panic grows for Tamawashi. 0-9 means he is running out of time to keep the top tier Iron Man run going, he’s at risk of demotion to Juryo for the first time in over 13 years. The last time he was demoted to Juryo? May 2013 to J1. He went down for just one tournament.
Kirishima has Shodai tomorrow, with Kirishima having won at least the last 2 between them. Dewanoryu is the Juryo man up tomorrow, but his top tier hopes in July are now gone and he now must win out from 2-7 just to avoid demotion.

Juryo:
Kotokuzan (Ms3) beat Okaryu (J13)
Enho (J14) beat Nishikigi (J11)
Tochitaikai (J14) beat Midorifuji (J10)
Hakuyozan (J13) beat Tohakuryu (J10)
Tamashoho (J12) beat Nishinoryu (J9)
Shirokuma (J8) beat Hitoshi (J12)
Shonannoumi (J8) beat Kazekeno (J11)
Kayo (J9) beat Toshinofuji (J7)
Kyokukaiyu J4) beat Kagayaki (J7)
Hatsuyama (J3) beat Meisei (J6)
Asasuiryu (J4) beat Dewanoryu (J3)
Kazuma (J6) beat Sadanoumi (J2)
Kitanowaka (J5) beat Daiseizan (J1)
Onokatsu (J1) beat Tomokaze (J5)
Leader: Kazekeno (8-1)
Of note: No zensho yusho again. Kazekeno took his first loss today but remains the sole leader, but a crowded second place is now down to just Kazuma and Enho for now, both at 7-2. Enho is faring the best of the debuts & returns this time as Okaryu is on the verge of demotion back to Makushita at 2-7, and Hakuyozan staved off demotion for today with a win but he also is still 2-7. At the top, nobody within reach of the top tier is better than 6-3 and Dewanoryu is now out of it at 2-7.
Himukamaru is the Makushita man up tomorrow as he tries to get back to Juryo. He is now at 3-2 so a win means promotion and a chance at a Juryo return from Ms4, but he’ll need to get to 5-2 to get there although he might be the rare one to have 8 matches as a result. Enho faces Nishinoryu (5-4, Nishinoryu won in May 2025), Kazuma has Takerufuji (6-3, Kazuma won in March), and Kazekeno gets Shirokuma (4-5, but Shirokuma is 3-1 vs. Kazekeno over the last year including winning in the last 2 tournaments).

Lower tier notes: The Makushita is down to just 3 at 5-0, leaving a slight possibility of a 6-1 champion. The Sandanme has 6 at 5-0 including Asahifuji, Mita & Kiryuko, leaving open the chance of another Asahifuji-Kiryuko championship faceoff after their Jonidan playoff in March. The Jonidan also has 6 left at 5-0 while in the Jonokuchi the sole 5-0 leader is Hakugetsuro, looking for a debut championship.

Injury Report: Momo Nohgo (Updated)

The injury absences (and thus bad puns) are piling up in Stardom again…it was just announced that Mono Kohgo is the latest one sidelined. Treatment of unspecified injury. Out indefinitely but will miss the next PPV on Saturday so at least a week. A match that may have involved her had not yet been announced (only title matches have with one exception). It’s not yet known how long Kohgo will be out.

More as it becomes available.

UPDATE: Unfortunately the body count keeps rising again. Add Miyu Amasaki to the injured list. The always vague poor health…but bad enough that she has been hospitalized. Out at least 2 weeks. As a result, the scheduled Goddesses Of Stardom Championship match on Saturday, when Amasaki & AZM were to defend against Hazuki & Koguma, has been POSTPONED. Ema Maishima is the replacement and it will now be a NON-TITLE match.

DEVELOPING: TJPW Wrestler Done For Now

Tokyo Joshi Pro wrestler Shino Suzuki just returned home to Shizuoka for a hometown event this past weekend. Unfortunately it was just announced that will be her last event for some time. She has been suffering from an unspecified physical condition for a long time and per a doctor needs rest and treatment. Out indefinitely but this is going to be weeks if not months. She also will not be taking part in any wrestling, idol and Up Up Girls activities and also will be off social media. This obviously has me quite worried because similar recently happened with Moka Miyamoto and it forced her to retire after winning the International Princess Championship last year (we never found out why), hopefully this will not be the case with Suzuki. Sending best wishes for a full recovery. When/if she can return will be announced by the promotion.

For the next event on Friday, changes have been made as she was to have faced Pom Harajuku & Mifu Ashida in a 3-way. It’s now a single match.

More as it becomes available.
