Gonoyama (J1) beat Tohakuryu (J2)
Shonannoumi (J1) beat Enho (J3)
Leader: Gonoyama, Ochiai (6-0)
WITHDRAWAL: Tochinoshin (J5). Retirement. Nikkan Sports reports he will not remain with the Nihon Sumo Kyokai in an Oyakata role or other position due to not having full Japanese citizenship (he is a dual national and a citizen of his native Georgia).
This means no more Makushita man daily in Juryo for now but we’ll still have a Juryo man in the top tier at least through tomorrow (tomorrow it’s fan favorite Enho who is a disappointing 0-6 so far).
