Ozeki Aonishiki (22, Ajigawa beya), who will be facing his first ever
kadoban basho held an open keiko session at his heya in Koto Ward, Tokyo,
on the 29th. On this day, he focused on basic exercises such as shiko and
suriashi  and towards the end, he engaged in butsugari with rikishi from
Hidenoyama beya who had come to train with him. He was also seen giving
advice to Zadoroznoi Anatoly, an Estonian from the same heya who was
showing off his powerful throwing techniques. Although he did not reveal
the details, he expressed his gratitude, saying, "It gets the younger
rikishi in the heya fired up, and it creates an atmosphere that is close to
honbasho so it's nothing but a plus. I'm very grateful for that (the
Hidenoyama beya) came." Anatoly, a trainee, joined the heya in August 2026.
If he makes his debut, he will be the third rikishi from Estonia, following
former Ozeki Baruto.

As for his condition (toe injury) although he has not yet resumed sumo
training, he emphasized that he is recovering well and expressed his
eagerness to participate in the coming basho.  He showed no signs of
favoring the injured area. "I'm getting proper treatment, so I'm getting
better little by little. I've been coming down to the keiko-ba to adjust
from time to time, so I want to do my best to aim to enter."
