Kyokukaiyu (M16) beat Arashifuji (M16!
Tamawashi (M15) beat Daiseizan (M17)
Dewanoryu (M14) beat Kitanowaka (M15)
Tokihayate (M14) beat Toshinofuji (M13)
Asasuiryu (M13) beat Abi (M12)
Takanosho (M13) beat Ichiyamamoto (M12)
Oho (M10) beat Asahakuryu (M11)
Nishikifuji (M8) beat Asakoryu (M9)
Wakamotoharu (M7) beat Roga (M8)
Kinbozan (M7) beat Kotoeiho (M6) by default/withdrawal
Kotoshoho (M6) beat Hiradoumi (M5)
Takerufuji (M4) beat Gonoyama (M5)
Hakunofuji (M3) beat Takayasu (M3)
Atamifuji (S) beat Daieisho (M4)
Churanoumi (K) beat Fujinokawa (S)
Kotozakura (O) beat Fujiseiun (M2)
Aonishiki (O) beat Ura (M2)
Fujiryoga (M1) beat Hoshoryu (Y). KINBOSHI!!! The first career Gold Star Victory for Fujiryoga!
Onosato (Y) beat Asanoyama (M1)
WITHDRAWAL: Kotoeiho (M6). Hernia. Tournament over. Out about 4 weeks. Will finish equal to 1-14 and be demoted and will be a toss-up to stay in the top tier. Naturally this will disappoint the many fans who enjoy his very impressive shiko displays pre-match. Kinbozan got the fusen as a result.
Of note: Hoshoryu is still 2-1 but given history an early loss like this is some concern, more given he seems to have his career on the line according to stablemaster Tatsunami. Onosato is also 2-1 after denying Asanoyama in his second kinboshi attempt while Atamifuji is among the 3-0 group, he still has a chance at Ozeki promotion with a championship or at least 13 wins. At the bottom, Arashifuji lost by a rare non-winning technique-tsukite, hand touch down.
Chiyoshoma will be the first Juryo man up tomorrow, he is 0-3 at J1.
Juryo:
Tokifudo (J13) beat Hatsuyama (J14)
Tamashoho (J12) beat Ryuho (J14)
Asahifuji (J12) beat Meisei (J13)
Wakanosho (J10) beat Tomokaze (J11)
Enho (J10) beat Sadanoumi (J11)
Mitakeumi (J9) beat Tohakuryu (J8)
Tanji (J7) beat Midorifuji (J6)
Wakatakakage (J5) beat Shonannoumi (J6)
Nabatame (J6) beat Ryuden (J5)
Kazuma (J4) beat Shodai (J3)
Kayo (J4) beat Kagayaki (J3)
Kazekeno (J2) beat Onokatsu (J1)
Tobizaru (J2) beat Chiyoshoma (J1)
Of note: Asahifuji now has bis first Juryo winning streak, taking a second straight win by beating Meisei to improve to 2-1. The early lead is now shared by mostly top tier veterans with Enho & Wakatakakage at 3-0 along with Tobizaru, Tamashoho & Kayo. Kayo’s win means no repeat 10-0 start for Kagayaki. On the flip side, Shodai is now a quick 0-3 and is looking less like the former Ozeki will make a quick top tier return.
Chiyoshoma will be back in the top tier tomorrow and Tenshoyama will be the first Makushita man up for a day, he is 1-1 at Ms1.
Lower tier notes: No matches for Eisei or Sunamusashi today, but Moriurara did get his first (and maybe only) win in Jonokuchi today. Eisei & Sunamusashi are both in action tomorrow.
