Hakuoho (M1) beat Hoshoryu (Y). KINBOSHI!!! The 3rd career Gold Star Victory for Hakuoho!
Onosato (Y) beat Takayasu (K)
WITHDRAWAL (Pre-tournament): Meisei (M18). Lower back (herniated disc). Status uncertain. He had surgery in mid-October and, according to Nikkan Sports, was expected to be out a month. If that holds, that means perhaps a mid-tournament entry. If he can’t return before the halfway point and get a winning record he will be demoted to Juryo for the first time since July 2020. That lasted one tournament as he won the Juryo Championship and quickly re-promoted.
Of note: For those who missed it before, Yoshinofuji is the former Kusano, who now is a full Isegahama man with the Fuji-ending ring mane. As for his stablemate, that’s the first time in 4 career meetings Hakuoho has beaten Hoshoryu, and he now has wins against both current Yokozuna. He goes for a 4th Gold Star Victory and 3rd over Onosato tomorrow. Hoshoryu will try to bounce back against Takanosho.
