Leader: Chiyoshima Takerufuji, Kayo (5-0)
WITHDRAWAL: Onosho (J1). Right knee/ankle. Out 3 weeks per Nikkan Sports. Tournament over. Will finish the equivalent of 1-14, which may be just enough to keep him in Juryo. Tamashoho got the fusen as a result.
Of note: RARE KIMARITE ALERT!!! Chiyoshoma beat Shishi with a very rare technique and one I’d never seem before-Susohirai, a foot sweep when attempting a pulling arm throw by kicking the opponent’s heel/back foot with your heel (from a description on the Japan Sumo Association official mobile app).
