Kirishima (S) beat Wakanotoharu (K)
Oho (K) beat Aonishiki (O)
Hosboryu (Y) beat Ura (M2)
Yoshinofuji (M1) beat Onosato (Y). KINBOSHI!!! The third career Gold Star Victory-and second straight-for Yoshinofuji!
Leader: Kirishina, Oshoma, Abi (4-0)
Of note: Stop the presses! What is going on today? Consecutive Kinboshi for Yoshinofuji?!? Most of Sanuaku lost today including 3 of the 4 Yokozuna and Ozeki! That includes Aonishiki taking his first loss. But Onosato losing today isn’t a big surprise now…in his first 5 tournaments since reaching Juryo he always won on this day although one was a fusen. Since then? 3-7. And since promotion to Ozeki? 2-6, including 3 straight Day 4 losses at one point. He may be getting 0-4 Takamosho at a good time tomorrow. Hoshoryu managed to keep Ura winless to stay in the group at 3-1 that now includes all Sanyaku except Kirishima (4-0) and Oho (1-3) plus Wakamotoharu (0-4).
Juryo:
Kyokukaiyu (J12) beat Hakiyozan (J14)
Kazuma (J14) beat Tsurugisho (J11)
Dewanoryu (J13) beat Kazekeno (J10)
Hidenouni (J13) beat Tohakuryu (J10)
Hitoshi (J9) beat Nishikigi (J13)
Kayo (J9) beat Wakanosho (J11)
Kitanowaka (J8) beat Kotokuzan (J6)
Nishinoryu (J6) beat Meisei (J8)
Tamashoho (J5) beat Asasuiryu (J7)
Tochitaikai (J7) beat Takerufuji (J5)

Sadanoumi (J4) beat Kagayaki (J2)
Fujiryoga (J3) beat Kotoeiho (J1)
Fujiseiun (J1) beat Shirokuma (J3)
Leader: Dewanoryh, Sadanoumi, Fujiseiun (4-0)
Of note: Kazuma finally got his first win in Juryo today to stop a losing streak that saw him lose more matxhes this tournament so far-3-than in his entire career so far-2-excluding 4+ tournaments (30 days) missed due to injuries. The big story so far is Dewanoryu, who made it to Juryo this time after 6+ years of trying…and he’s made the most of it so far, off to a 4-0 start and being one of the co-leaders.
Lower tier notes: No match for Enho today after 2 straight days of Makushita matches. No match on the schedule tomorrow so it looks like he will next compete Friday on Day 6.
