Of note: After becoming the Iron Man yesterday, Tamawashi today broke a tie for 6th longest streak of consecutive top-tier appearances at 991, taking 6th place from Takarafuji, who saw his streak end this year with a demotion to Juryo for one tournament. He should reach 1000 on Day 13, but at 1-3 at M10 he needs some wins to keep that streak alive past 1002.
Juryo:
Kayp (J14) beat Aoiyama (J13)
Daiseizan (J12) beat Oshoumi (J14)
Kiryuko (J13) beat Chiyosakae (J13) by default/withdrawal
Takerufuji (J11) beat Tomokaze (J11)
Tohakuryu (J10) beat Fujiseiun (J10)
Hakuyozan (J8) beat Daishoho (J9)
Mitoryu (J7) beat Hidenoumi (J6)

Tokihayate (J2) beat Shimanoumi (J4)
Chiyoshoma (J1) beat Tamashoho (J3)
Shishi (J2) beat Onosho (J1)
Leader: Chiyoshoma, Takerufuji, Kayo (4-0)
WITHDRAWAL: Chiyosakae (J13). Unknown. Status unknown. Is halfway to demotion, 9+ losses probably mean demotion back to Makushita. Kiryuko got the fusen as a result.
UPDATE: Onosho has WITHDRAWN before Day 5. Uncertain why.
