Here are the quick results from today’s Day 11 of the November 2025 Grand Sumo Tournament in Fukuoka:
Key: M-Maegashira, K-Komusubi, S-Sekiwake, O-Ozeki, Y-Yokozuna, J-Juryo, Ms-Makushita
Makuuchi (top tier):
Oshoumi (M16) beat Ryuden (M14)
Meisei (M18) beat Mitakeumi (M13)
Tokihayate (M14) beat Gonoyama (M13)
Tomokaze (M12) beat Sadanoumi (M16)
Noishikifuji (M15) beat Fujinokawa (M12)
Shishi (M11) beat Asakoryu (M17)
Midorifuji (M9) beat Shonannoumi (M15)
Chiyoshoma (M17) beat Kinbozan (M8)
Ichiyamammoto (M8) beat Kotoshoho (M10)
Roga (M11) beat Abi (M7)
Churanoumi (M7) beat Daieisho (M10)
Onokatsu (M6) beat Tobizaru (M9)
Atamifuji (M6) beat Tamawashi (M4)
Kirishima (M2) beat Shodai (M5)
Hiradoumi (M3) beat Wakatakakage (M1)
Ura (M3) beat Takayasu (K)
Yosjinofuji (M5) beat Aonishiki (S)
Kotozakura (O) beat Oshoma (M4)
Hoshoryu (Y) beat Oho (S)
Takanosho (K) beat Onosato (Y)
Leaser: Onosato, Hoshoryu, Aonishiki (9-2)
Of note: This changes everything. First up, this is the first time since January that Onosato has a losing streak (he finished 10-5 then in his second tournament at Ozeki). And that Yoshinofuji win yesterday over the champ? Backed up emphatically today with another big win over Aonishiki, which clinches another promotion for the Isegahama man. Hoshoryu may be the big winner here as despite those two first week losses he’s bow co-leader and in position for maybe his first title as a Yokozuna. Tomorrow Onosato gets Oho, Hosboryu has Takayasu and Aonishiki faces Oahoma. Yoshinofuji faces Kotozakura and a win could clinch the Outstanding Performance Prize now that he’s got 8 wins and that would give him two against Yokozuna & Ozeki (he already lost to Hoshoryu). It won’t go to Hakuoho despite his Kinboshi because he is now demoted.
Elsewhere, despite demotion due to early absences Meisei has probably saved his salary with his first win today, which should be enough to keep him in Juryo in January if he doesn’t win again. Sadanoumi could also be demoted to Juryo now as well, Oshoumi is going down unless he wins out and gets to 7-8. And no uncertainty about the status of Aomori in the top tier-that nearly 150-year streak will definitely continue as Noshikifuji clinched promotion today, at the expense of a 4th straight loss for Fujinokawa after a 6-1 start. And another sign things are getting back to normal-that’s 2 straight katasukashi wins for Midorifuji. He may have his mojo back.
Juryo:
Asasuiryu (J12) beat Miyanokaze (Ms4)
Kitanowaka (J12) beat Himukamaru (J13)
Hakuyozan (J10) beat Tohakuryu (J10)
Nishinoryu (J9) beat Wakanosho (J14)
Tsurugisho (J11) beat Hidenoumi (J8)
Fujiryoga (J13) beat Kazekeno (J8)
Kayo (J8) beat Shiden (J14)
Tamashoho (J11) beat Takerufuji (J7)
Asanoyama (J4) beat Kagayaki (J4)
Hatsuyama (J5) beat Daiseizan (J3)
Asahakuryu (J2) beat Tochitaikai (J5)
Kotoeiho (J2) beat Shirokuma (J4)
Fujiseiun (J1) beat Nishikigi (J6)
Kotokuzan (J6) beat Hitoshi (J1)
Leader: Fujiryoga (10-1)
Of note: Shiden may have been injured in his loss today as he was taken out in a wheelchair afterwards. Hochi Sports reports it was a left leg injury. He may be done but updates will follow-if so, that’s demotion to Makushita along with Himukamaru, unless he wins put to get to 6-9 he’ll go back down. Back at the top, once again it’s a rookie’s title to lose as Fujiryoga is now 2 clear of the pack. That pack at 8-4 now includes Asanoyama who will now have a chance to earn promotion back to the top tier, but he probably needs at least 2 more wins. Stablemate Asahakuryu is close to getting there, needing one more win for promotion after today, which could mean 3 Takasago men up there in January if Asakoryu can hang on to his top tier spot as he’s struggling after a fast start yet again. If Fujiryoga wins tomorrow (Tamashoho in the first match) he can all but clinch the championship as if the other 3 at 8-3 lose worst-case now they can only force a playoff.
Lower tier notes: Enho clinched promotion today in Makushita with a win over Kamito, so at 4-2 he’ll move closer to back to Juryo with a 5th win providing a bigger boost if he can get it. The Makushita Championship match is now set for Friday and will be Kazuma vs. Ryusho. If Kazuma wins his second straight championship he will have a slight chance of promotion to Juryo from Ms15. Ryusho, a Ms60 debut in his 3rd tournament, would have a much slimmer chance from Ms24 hut a chance nonetheless. The Sandanme Championship is also set and will be Kaki vs. Chiyoraizan. If Kaki and Ryusho both win, that’s 2 titles for Oitekaze Beya. The Jonidan will be interesting-there are 3 left at 6-0 but Kakueizan & Ryubo are Otowoyama stablemates so they won’t face each other Saturday and could meet in a rare stablemates playoff if both win. In the Jobokuchi, Goseiryu is the lone 6-0 man left so if he wins his final match he is the champion, if he loses there could be a playoff. Goseiryu missed the last 3 tournaments before this one.
