Kotonowaka (O) beat Meisei (M2)
Takakeisho (O) beat Nishikigi (K)
Tobizaru (M4) beat Terunofuji (Y) by default/withdrawal. No Kinboshi because it was a fusen.
Leader: Takerufuji (7-0)
WITHDRAWAL: Terunofuji (Y). Lower back. Tournament over. Will be back in May according to his stablemaster, but he also said this may very well be it for the Yokozuna, as it sounds like retirement will follow and, much to Hakkaku’s dismay, will leave sumo Yokozuna-less unless an Ozeki wins the next 2 tournaments.
RE-ENTRY: Kinbozan (M7). Will return tomorrow. Missed the last 3 days due to whiplash. He is now the equivalent of 1-6 so still a chance to salvage promotion.

Hakuoho (J13) beat Kotoeko (J12)
Chiyosakae (J14) beat Aoiyama (M11)
Kitaharima (J14) beat Shiden (J10)

Asakoryu (J8) beat Ura (J13)
Daishoho (J7) beat Oshoumi (J11)
Wakatakakage (J10) beat Hidenoumi (J7)
Chiyoshoma (J6) beat Tamashoho (J9)
