Onosato (Y) beat Takanosho (M3)
Hosboryu (Y) beat Wakatakakage (M2)
Leader: Abi, Oshoma (5-0)
Of note: Things settled down a little today as no Kinbochi conceded by the Yokozuna and Aoniahiki also bounced back with a win, but Kotozakura took a second straight loss and Kirishima fell from the unbeaten ranks, leaving two at 5-0. Both Oshoma & Abi are wildly inconsistent at times but Abi has won a championship before so he knows what it takes. A key early match tomorrow is Takayasu-Aonishiki with both at 4-1. Both Yokozuna are also in the 4-1 group
