Sekiwake Kotoshouhou  (Sadogatake) took part in a total of six bouts during
keiko at his heya in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, on the 2nd with other
rikishi who came for degeiko.  His powerful forward-moving sumo, with a
left-hand grip, shone through, resulting in a record of 4-2. "I want to
focus on my tachiai and the pressure I apply from there," he said. Last
year at the Nagoya basho, he won his first yusho with a record of 13-2 and
became the first champion at the new venue, IG Arena. Looking ahead to the
first day of the tournament, he said, "I will improve my condition from now
on," in preparation for a second consecutive Nagoya basho yusho..

As you could tell form the previous posts, Fujinokawa (Isenoumi beya) was
busy training at Sadogatake beya today. He took part in a total of 10
bouts with other visiting rikishi. In addition, he had three bouts with
Ozeki Kirishima and six bouts with Ozeki Kotozakura . Reflecting on his
result of 8 wins and 11 losses in a total of 19 bouts, he said, "I lost too
many times. Part of it was because I had many bouts with Ozeki. I was more
focused on moving forward than on winning or losing. I was able to have
nearly 20 bouts." The lodgings for the Nagoya basho of Isenoumi beya and
Sadogatake beya are located about a 10-minute walk apart, and it is
customary for him to visit Sadogatake beya for training before the Nagoya
basho every year. This day was his second training session, following the
one the previous day (the 1st). "I train here every year, so it feels like
this is my training ground," he said with a smile. He plans to continue
going for degeiko. After the keiko session, he walked back to his lodgings,
covered in mud.

Subject: [Sumo news] - Sumo heya signs cooperation agreement with a college
To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


Ajigawa beya and Aichi Gakuin University signed a cooperation agreement
today. The signing ceremony was held at the Aichi Gakuin University
Kusumoto Campus in Chikusa Ward, Nagoya City, with Ajigawa Oyakata  and
Aichi Gakuin University President Fumiteru Kimura in attendance. According
to Aichi Gakuin University, this is the first time that a heya and a
university have signed such an agreement. Ajigawa beya has been using Aichi
Gakuin University as its lodging for the Nagoya basho since last year. They
have been interacting with the university by holding joint keiko sessions
with the university's sumo and American football clubs, and hosting chanko
parties with students and local residents. In the future, they plan to
further develop the relationship, creating opportunities for students to
learn practical skills through sumo, and receiving support for the
conditioning of rikishi from the university, which has a dental school and
a pharmacy school.

This year, a chanko party and other events are planned, and President
Kimura said, "We want to fully support the rikishi of Ajigawa beya so that
they can perform well. After the 15th day, I was thinking of holding a
victory celebration at the top of the Meijo Park campus (across from the IG
Arena)." Ajigawa Oyakata said, "I am truly happy. Many of the rikishi are
of the age of the students. It is a great opportunity for them to learn
from students in various ways. Aichi Gakuin University is in front of the
IG Arena. This year, I hope we can enter there for the victory parade and
celebrate together." Aonishiki, who aims to regain his rank as Ozeki in
just one tournament, said, "The environment (at the university) is good. I
am 22 years old, and there are many students close to my age. We can talk
about things other than sumo. Last year I couldn't yusho (11-4), but this
year I would like to properly repay the favor."

Ozeki Kotozakura joined the keiko session at his heya today in Nagoya,
taking part in a total of 11 bouts against opponents including Fujinokawa),
who came for degeiko.. After facing Fujinokawa, Daieishou and Abi for five
bouts, he had six bouts in a row against Fujinokawa. He reflected on
practicing with the small rikishi, 177 cm tall and weighing 123 kg, who he
lost to on the first day of the last tournament, saying, "There aren't many
rikishi of that size. I was able to put my heart into it." Last basho, he
withdrew on the 12th day due to lower back pain, finishing with a record of
3-9-3. He will be competing in  Nagoya as kadoban for the second time in
his career. "I'll try to manage my lower back well. I'll do my best from
here on out," he said.

On the 2nd, Oushouma (Naruto) had keiko with lower-division rikishi -  a
total of 17 bouts at his heya's lodgings in Midori Ward, Nagoya City, in
preparation for the Nagoya basho. He said that the previous day, the 1st,
he had keiko with Ounokatsu and others, who came for degeiko, and
commented, "I had a good session. I'm not in top form yet, but I want to
gradually improve."Last year, he competed in the Nagoya basho as a newly
promoted Komusubi, but was overwhelmed by the higher-ranked rikishi,
suffering a major losing record of 3-12. He continued to have difficult
bashos after that, but in the last one, he achieved a kachikoshi, going 8-7
for the first time in four tournaments. "Although it didn't lead to wins,
there were some bouts where I was moving forward. I want to increase the
number of bouts like that," he said, feeling he had made progress. Looking
ahead to this tournament as Maegashira 5W, he said with great enthusiasm,
"Winning is important, but more than winning or losing, I want to attack
aggressively and move forward." From the 3rd onwards, he may be considering
going for degeiko.

To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


Not much news, nothing much going on, but now that the banzuke is out,
probably more news..

Ozeki Kirishima  who will be challenging for promotion to Yokozuna in
Nagoya, held his first keiko session since the announcement of the banzuke
at Sadogatake beya in Nishi Ward, Nagoya City on the 2nd, and showed
excellent form, winning all 10 matches against Fujinokawa and others who
were also training there. It was his first time doing serious sumo since
the end of the Natsu basho, and he said enthusiastically, "It felt good to
be back after a long time. I'm going to keep improving my condition." He
also chose Kotoeihou, whom he faced for the first time on the 13th day of
the last tournament and defeated by utchari. He showed the difference in
rank with a variety of attacks, such as getting a left uwate and winning by
yorikiri, and throws as well. "His movements are good, and he comes at you
without holding back. I thought about what I needed to do in response to
that," he said, clearly focusing on his challenges. In June, he returned to
Mongolia after performing in Paris. He has been focusing on building his
physique up until now, in preparation for the tournament where he has a
chance of promotion to Yokozuna if he wins with a high level performance.
"I have quite a bit of muscle soreness. This is a good thing," he said,
showing his confidence. The plan is to continue training at other heya to
improve his condition. His Oyakata Otowayama , who accompanied him,
commented, "He needs to gradually get his body in shape. To aim higher from
here, it's important that he doesn't lose in training either."

To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


Sekiwake Wakatakakage  who is aiming to solidify his position for promotion
to Ozeki at the Nagoya basho , underwent a medical examination at a
hospital today. On the 1st, he went to Sadogatake beya in Nagoya City for
training along with his older brother, Wakamotoharu  and newcomer to
Makuuchi, Daiseizan . He participated in keiko with 11 other rikishi he
faced, and left the dohyo shaking his neck slightly. After that, he
repeatedly showed signs of being concerned about his left thigh and left
the keiko-ba without participating in any further bouts. According to
Arashio Oyakata  he did not come down to the keiko-ba for the second
consecutive day, going to a hospital for a checkup. "He complained of pain
in his left thigh and is being examined at the hospital. We don't have all
the details yet, so we'll talk to him next Monday or Tuesday," he
explained. It is unusual for a rikishi to miss training for two consecutive
days before a tournament that should be crucial for solidifying his
position for promotion to Ozeki. The rikishi to watch at Nagoya may not
only be failing to solidify his position, but his participation may even be
in doubt.

To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


Ahead of his first Basho in Nagoya since being promoted to Makuuchi,
Fujiryouga, (Maegashira 9E), gave a lecture on the 2nd at the Kozoji
Chunichi Culture Center in Kasugai City, Aichi Prefecture, his hometown. 65
sumo fans attended, and the event was so popular that there were 10 people
on the waiting list (hmmmm..). He spoke about his impressions after
spending two bashos in Makuuchi and his enthusiasm for the Nagoya
tournament, where he will be the first rikishi  from Aichi Prefecture to
compete in Makuuchi in 13 years, since Tamaasuka (now Ootake Oyakata). Last
basho he was in contention for the yusho until his loss to Wakatakakage on
the final day, achieving a good record of 10-5. He cited his match against
Wakanoshou (Minatogawa) on the second day as his most memorable bout,
saying, "It was a long and intense match. Winning it gave me confidence."
He said he injured his tooth with a slap from his opponent, and recalled
the fierce battle saying, "It still hurts. My front tooth is loose."
Looking ahead to the Nagoya tournament, he said, "My left ankle, which I
injured in the last tournament, is still not good. I'm in the process of
getting it into the best possible condition," but added, "The Nagoya basho
is the place I think about the most. I want to do my best so that everyone
will think I've grown into a fine rikishi!"

Subject: [Sumo news] - Houshouryuu getting ready, Takayasu too
To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


Yokozuna Houshouryuu trained at his heya in Minami-ku, Nagoya on the 5th in
preparation for the Nagoya basho. He had 14 bouts against  East Makushita
19E, and Shunrai (21), Sandanme 10E, winning 13 and losing 1. He showed a
variety of techniques, including thrusting, underarm throws, and powerful
yorikiri with a right grip, and expressed his confidence, saying, "I think
I'm doing well." At the end of the keiko, he repeatedly did icho-oshi (????
- what's THAT? Never came across it before.. One push?), carefully checking
his tachiai. This is something he used to do when he was promoted to
Makuuchi, and he added otsuke while working up a sweat, explaining, "I used
to do this a lot. I was trying to remember the feeling." Last basho, he
injured his right hamstring and had to withdraw from the tournament from
the second day. There is one week until the start of the Nagoya basho. He
plans to start training at other heya from the 6th to finalize his
preparations. "I shouldn't overdo it," he says, as he prepares for the
crucial stage where he will make his comeback.

 Takayasu had 16 bouts against lower-division rikishi at his heya's lodging
in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, in preparation for the Nagoya tournament.
He had to withdraw from the last tournament due to a right adductor muscle
injury, but he has recovered smoothly, saying, "I can practice without
worrying about almost anything." Up until now, he has been steadily working
out at his heya, and he said, "I've been able to adjust without any
problems, so now I just hope my body moves properly." This tournament, with
41-year-old Tamawashi (Kataonami) being demoted to Juryo, for the first
time in history, all the top-division rikishi were born in the Heisei era.
36-year-old Takayasu will be competing as the oldest in Makuuchi for the
first time, and he chuckled, "I've become the oldest. That's not good."
Nevertheless, his fighting spirit remains undiminished, saying, "I'm a
competitor after all. I can't lose to younger guys, and if I stop feeling
frustrated when I lose, it's the end for me." This year, the Nagoya basho
lodgings of his heya have moved to Hachioji Shrine in Seto City. The
environment has become more friendly to observing keiko, and on this day,
many officials and fans came to watch. "It's a very comfortable place to
live, and with so many fans gathered here, I can practice with great
enthusiasm. I'm grateful for this wonderful environment," he said with a
smile. Although he was demoted from the top ranks due to his absence from
the previous basho, expectations remain high for his long-awaited first
yusho. The former Ozeki said with conviction, "I want to avoid injuries and
perform well until the final day. If I do that, I think the results will
come towards the end." (Naofumi Hayashi)

Ranked at the very bottom of Makuuchi Asakouryuu did keiko for the second
time since his right knee injury in the morning today. He had 15 bouts with
Asasuiryuu and Kyokukaiyuu, who came from Ooshima beya for keiko, and won
12-3. "I was worried, but now I'm fine. I wasn't scared either," he said,
expressing his confidence in competing. Similarly, Asanoyama, who withdrew
from the previous basho midway through due to a left leg injury and also
missed the Paris koen, worked up a sweat with basic exercises such as shiko
and suriashi, but revealed that he has already resumed sumo practice. "My
leg is much better. I took a break from Paris to go to Nagoya. It was my
own decision, and I have no regrets," he emphasized, stressing that there
would be no problem with him competing in the tournament.

To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


Arashio beya updated its official website, reporting that after practice on
the 1st, Wakatakakage felt pain in his left thigh and was rushed to the
hospital, where he was diagnosed with "femoral compartment syndrome." It
was also revealed that he will undergo emergency surgery and be
hospitalized.

What are the symptoms of femoral compartment syndrome?

 ? Compartment syndrome In areas of the limbs where there are multiple
muscles, each muscle is separated by a boundary surrounded by bone and
fascia, and this muscle compartment is called a compartment. In this
syndrome, the muscle tissue swells due to trauma such as fractures or
bruises, causing a rapid increase in internal pressure and pain. There are
acute and chronic forms, with acute cases developing after fractures, etc.
Severe symptoms appear in a short period of time, requiring emergency
surgery. When internal pressure rises, muscles, blood vessels, and nerves
are compressed, which can lead to necrosis or nerve paralysis due to
circulatory failure. It is particularly common in the forearms, lower legs,
and thighs, where many muscles are present. It is characterized by severe
pain. If the internal pressure of the compartment becomes too high, a
fasciotomy may be necessary. Generally, running can be resumed about a
month after surgery, but this is subject to change.

To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


Yokozuna Houshouryuu, who withdrew from the previous tournament due to a
right leg injury in preparation for the Nagoya basho, practiced at
Sakaigawa beya in Fus?-cho, Aichi Prefecture on the 6th, his first training
session since the banzuke were announced. He showed great strength and
satisfaction, saying, "I was able to practice in a good way." He chose
Hiradoumi, as well as Hakunofuji and Fujiryouga, who were also there for
degeiko, for a total of 21 bouts. He overwhelmed them with a variety of
techniques, including sharp de-ashi and powerful yori. Regarding the
condition of his right leg, he smiled and said, "As you can see, it's
fine." Other top-division rikishi who came for training included Ozeki
Kirishima, Sekiwake Atamifuji, and rank-and-filers Fujinokawa and Fujiseiun.

Ahead of the Nagoya basho, former Ozeki Asanoyama had a seven-bout keiko
session with Yokozuna Houshouryuu (Tatsunami) at his heya. In the first
bout, he managed a left uwate but was cut off and forced out, suffering
three consecutive losses. However, he managed to get a right-hand grip,
grabbed a left-hand grip, and forced his opponent out. In the next bout, he
exposed his right hand, inserted his left hand, and forced the Yokozuna
out, securing two consecutive wins against the Yokozuna. In all, he went
2-5 against the Yokozuna, for a total of 7 wins and 8 losses, but said,
"I'm really happy that the Yokozuna came for degeiko. The atmosphere is
different. I've  known four Yokozuna, but he's young, and it was a very
good practice session." His Oyakata, Takasago also nodded and said, "He was
able to wrestle normally against the Yokozuna. It was good keiko."
Asanoyama withdrew from the last basho  from the 12th day due to a Lisfranc
ligament injury
<https://www.orthobullets.com/foot-and-ankle/7030/lisfranc-injury> in his
left foot (sprain of the instep), finishing with a record of 7 wins, 5
losses, and 3 absences. He aimed to return to competition, but the swelling
did not subside, resulting in a makekoshi. He took time off from the Paris
koen to take care of his injured foot. He resumed sumo training after
arriving in Aichi. "I was just one win away. But it is my duty to
participate in the Nagoya tournament, and I've been working towards that
for the past month. Winning in honbasho is what's important," he said with
determination. Takasago Oyakata also smiled, saying, "He's progressing
well."

To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


Wakatakakage was diagnosed with "compartment syndrome," which causes nerve
paralysis due to circulatory problems, and because there was a risk of
necrosis, he underwent emergency surgery and is currently still
hospitalized. There is no prospect of his return, and there is a
possibility of a long-term absence. He is hospitalized after undergoing
surgery on his left thigh The incident occurred on the 1st when he was
practicing at Sadogatake beya. He complained of discomfort in his left leg
and cut short his keiko session. Initially, he was able to walk on his own,
but around noon when he returned to the heya, he complained of pain in the
bath, and around 3 p.m., he experienced severe pain and vomiting, so he was
taken to a hospital in the city by ambulance. He was diagnosed with
"femoral compartment syndrome" and underwent emergency surgery immediately.
After the surgery, which lasted about three hours, he began bleeding
uncontrollably in the middle of the night, and underwent another surgery in
the early morning, which lasted two hours. He was in the intensive care
unit until the 4th, but has now been moved to a general ward and his
condition is stable. The doctors' quick judgment paid off, but he is
scheduled to undergo multiple suturing surgeries on the incision site from
the 7th onwards. There is no prospect of him being discharged yet.
Compartment syndrome is a circulatory disorder caused by trauma or other
factors that leads to nerve paralysis. According to stablemaster Arashio,
it is a rare condition, occurring in only 1 to 2 people per 100,000. Most
cases occur in the calf, with the thigh being unusual. If treatment is
delayed, there is a risk of muscle and tissue necrosis and functional
impairment, and he testified that "(the doctor) told me it was a race
against time. If the surgery had been delayed by another 1 or 2 hours, it
would have been dangerous."  In this tournament, where he returned to
Sekiwake for the first time in 5 tournaments, he was aiming to solidify his
footing towards his long-cherished dream of becoming an Ozeki, but not only
has he returned to square one, there is now a possibility of a long-term
absence. Cases in the sumo world are limited, and a difficult road to
recovery is expected. This situation could be considered a crisis for his
sumo career, but he reportedly told his oyakata over the phone that he
would "focus on treatment and do his best," expressing his determination to
make a comeback.

Yokozuna Oonosato who has been absent for two consecutive tournaments due
to a left shoulder injury, participated in a joint training session of the
Nishonoseki Ichimon at Takadagawa beya in Tenpaku Ward, Nagoya City on the
6th. In moshi-ai against Ozeki Kotozakura he won all 11 bouts, showing
great spirit. He also experienced his first complete absence since his
professional debut at the Nagoya basho in May. He has shown that he is on
an upward trend. This was his first training session sparring with a
rikishi from another heya since before the Spring Tournament in March. He
touched the "spirit of Nishonoseki" in the training hall where 10 previous
Yokozuna have sweated. His body moves well. His techniques are sharp. The
Yokozuna controlled the Ozeki, winning all 11 bouts. He dispelled any
anxieties heading into the tournament, his first after being absent for two
consecutive tournaments. "It felt good. My lower body and hip position were
set. Not bad." A sharp de-ashi, winning consecutive matches with throws
from both the upper and lower sides, and overwhelmed his opponent with a
perfect yoris after attaining a morozashi. The temple and shrine
"Butchiin," where Takadagawa beya has its training grounds, is also a
sacred place for Nishonoseki Ichimon. The former Futagoyama beya, whose
shisho was the first Yokozuna Wakanohana, known as the "demon of the
dohyo," had its training grounds there for 30 years, from the Nagoya
tournament in 1962 until his retirement. During this time, his disciples
included the previous Naruto Oyakata (former Yokozuna Takanosato), who
trained Oonosato's shisho Nishonoseki Oyakata (former Yokozuna Kisenosato),
the second Yokozuna Wakanohana, and Ozeki Takanohana, among other prominent
rikishi who trained there. The Nishonoseki Ichimon heyas, including
disciples Hanakago Oyakata (former Sekiwake Taijuyama) and former
Nishonoseki Oyakata (former Ozeki Wakashimazu), had their lodgings there.
This rengo keiko at Butchiin was the first in seven years, since June 2019.
Oonosato is the 11th rikishi, including those from outside his Ichimon, to
have trained on this dohyo as a Yokozuna or  as someone who eventually
became a Yokozuna. "I'm glad I was able to train on this historic and
traditional dohyo." It gives him a sense of awe and determination. He's
accelerating his final preparations. (Nobuya Okumura)

To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


Ozeki Kotozakura worked up a sweat on the 8th at his heya's lodging in
Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, in preparation for the Nagoya basho.. He had a
total of 10 bouts against stablemates Sekiwake Kotoshouhou and Kotoeihou
and Fujinokawa who came for degeiko.. Yesterday (7th), considering fatigue
and other factors, he did not have any sumo bouts and focused on basic
training. In the keiko session after a day off, he showed nimble movements
and said, "I've been practicing before that, so I was able to do it as
usual." In the previous basho, he withdrew from the 12th day due to lower
back pain, finishing with a record of 3 wins, 9 losses, and 3 absences. He
will be competing in the Nagoya tournament in kadoban status for the second
time in his career.

Sekiwake Kotoshouhou trained at home today- 11 bouts. He had five bouts
against  his younger brother, Kotoeihou , and visiting rikishi Fujinokawa
and Juryo Nishikigi. After that, he faced Ozeki Kotozakura for six bouts,
for a total of 11 bouts. He showed good form against Kotozakura, going 3-3
with his powerful forward-moving sumo style, using his left hand to get a
good grip. However, regarding his left-handed attacks, which he has been
consciously working on, he said, "I still have a long way to go. I need to
attack more aggressively." Last year, he won his first yusho at the Nagoya
basho with a record of 13 wins and 2 losses. He became the first yusho
winner at the new venue, the IG Arena. Before that basho, he suffered a
hamstring injury in his right thigh, and was hardly able to train in the
days leading up to it, but this year he has been training steadily. Aiming
to win the Nagoya basho again, he said, "It's a completely different
tournament from last year's, so I want to challenge myself properly."

To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


The July (Nagoya) Basho starts this Sunday July 12th and will run till July
26th. In Nagoya.

The hurdles to overcome are high, but Kirishima, who tied for the yusho
last basho, will approach them with composure, saying, "I want to continue
doing things the same way as always." The head of the judging department,
Asakayama (former Ozeki KaioU), has indicated that if Kirishima achieves a
high-level victory, the path to promotion to Yokozuna will open up. The
30-year-old Ozeki once fell from his position as Ozeki due to a neck
injury. After that, he recovered through extensive training. His unassuming
attitude is a sign of his confidence that if he trains sufficiently, he
will achieve good results like before. He truly lives up to his word. After
the banzuke was announced on June 29th, he trained intensely, and on the
2nd, he went to  Sadogatake beya for degeiko. He chose Fujinokawa and
others who move well and had a total of 10 bouts. "I'm determined to keep
improving," he declared, and on the 4th, he went to Isenoumi beya to face
the likes of Juryo Nishikigi. After that, he continued to seek out training
partners, sparring with rikishi in heyas like Sakaigawa. He is striving
with an energetic attitude to reach the top of the rankings and build a
solid foundation. Facing the pressure of the dohyo, his Shisho Otowayama
(former Yokozuna Kakuryuu), urged his prot?g? to be aware of the importance
of not losing even at the keiko-ba. By demonstrating his unwavering
stability among the top ranks, the fulfillment of his long-cherished wish
will come into view. "My body has fully recovered," said Kirishima. He is
fully prepared and ready to go.


Fujinokawa went to Sadogatake beya today at its lodgings in Nagoya for
degeiko. He participated in nine practice bouts with Sekiwake Kotoshouhou,
Kotoeihou and Nishikigi who was also training there. After that, he had
three bouts against Ozeki Kotozakura, for a total of twelve bouts. In
preparation for the Nagoya basho, he has been energetically going for
degeiko , and has also had the opportunity to spar with Ozeki Kirishima and
others. This was his last degeiko session before the basho, and he
reflected on what had happened so far, saying, "I'm feeling tired, so my
movements weren't very good, but I was able to train with Ozeki, so I'll do
my best to 'repay' him during the basho." In the last tournament, when he
was ranked East Maegashira 1, he had a makekoshi of 7-8-. His rank remains
the same for this tournament as well, and he will once again be challenging
for promotion to Sanyaku, which is still within his reach. "My body is
getting tired, so I'll adjust my training tomorrow and the day after and
commit to the tournament," he said, looking ahead to day one.

Subject: [Sumo news] - UK - citizen Tarasenko - new recruit to enter Nagoya
To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


At the Nagoya basho, a 17-year-old from the UK (Latvian/Estonian origin)
will make his debut. Nicholas Tarasenko of Minato beya will be known as
"Eisei." Blessed with a physique of 1.87 meters and weighing 125 kilograms,
he passed the Kyokai's interview, which also tests his Japanese language
skills, less than a year after arriving in Japan. He is the first
British-born rikishi in 36 years, since former Jonidan Hidenokuni, and aims
for the top, saying, "In the future, I want to become a Yokozuna and let
more people in my home country know about sumo." In mid-June, during
morning practice at his heya, Tarasenko was repeatedly practicing "moushiai
keiko" while appealing to his senior heyamates to have a bout against him,
saying "Gotchan desu" (thank you). Although he was thrown to the ground
many times, there were also moments when he grabbed his opponents' mawashi
with both hands and powerfully pushed them out of the dohyo, as Minato
Oyakata said, "Technically he still has a long way to go, but he has the
physical strength and motivation. He will definitely become strong,"
expressing his expectations.

Born in Hull, in northeastern England, he grew up watching sumo on
television from a young age, influenced by his sumo-loving father. He was
fascinated by the diverse winning techniques and aspired to become a
rikishi. The turning point that made his dream come true was his first
visit to Japan in May 2024. After watching a sumo tournament at Ryogoku
Kokugikan, he was brought by an acquaintance of his father to the
senshuraku party of Minato beya, where he directly told the Oyakata, "I
want to become a rikishi." Despite the rule that "each heya can only have
one foreign-born rikishi," Minato highly valued Tarasenko's diligent
attitude during a summer training experience. The following June, he was
accepted as a trainee. He is a rare example of a foreign-born rikishi who
"worked his way up from junior high school."

To take the new recruit examination, the first hurdle to becoming a
rikishi, one must pass an interview conducted in Japanese by the Kyokai
Tarasenko studied diligently using flashcards and other materials, and in
April of this year, he successfully passed on his second attempt. The
following month, he passed the new recruit examination, which verifies
suitability in terms of physique and athletic ability. The Oyakata's wife,
Miura Makoto (55), recalls, "He's quite talkative, so he gradually became
able to speak Japanese."It's been a little over a year since he started
living in a foreign country and adjusting to the unfamiliar communal life.
"I'm having fun being able to do sumo," he says, and he even rides the
train by himself. His first sumo match will be in Maezumo, and Tarasenko is
determined to "do my own style of sumo, using thrusts and pushes to prevent
my opponent from getting a hold of my mawashi."

Foreign-born rikishi: "One per stable" 28 from 7 countries. According to
the Kyokai, of the 588 rikishi belonging to the Kyokai (excluding those not
ranked), 28 are foreign-born from 7 countries. At the Nagoya basho, they
account for 11 out of 42 rikishi in Makuuchi. The first foreign-born
rikishi is said to be Hiraga (highest rank: Jonidan), a second-generation
Japanese-American from Los Angeles, USA, who made his debut in 1934. After
the war, at the 1972 Nagoya tournament, Takamiyama, from Hawaii, USA,
became the first foreigner to win the yusho, and after that, rikishi from
Hawaii such as Konishiki and Akebono built an era.

Since the 2000s, Mongolian rikishi such as Asashouryuu and Hakuhou have
flourished, and rikishi from Europe, such as Kotooushuu from Bulgaria, have
also risen to prominence. From 2006 to 2015, foreign-born rikishi won the
yusho in succession, and currently, Yokozuna Houshouryuu from Mongolia and
Aonishiki from Ukraine are lighting up the dohyo. The Kyokai has, in
principle, allowed only one foreign-born rikishi per heya since 2002, and
since 2010 has made it even stricter to include those who have acquired
Japanese citizenship in the foreign rikishi quota. The Kyokai's public
relations department states that this is "to properly teach Japanese
culture and traditions during communal living in sumo heyas."

Ozeki Kotozakura,  who will be facing his second kadoban basho in Nagoya,
served as a one-day police chief at a commercial facility in Nishi Ward,
Nagoya City on the 9th. He proudly displayed a salute while wearing a
kimono. He called for traffic safety by raising objections to things like
riding a bicycle (which he himself sometimes does)  with an umbrella while
holding it and failing to stop at stop signs, and said, "I want everyone to
be careful when using bicycles in order to reduce accidents. It was a good
experience." He withdrew from the last basho due to injury, and he
expressed his determination, saying, "I will aim to win the yusho and
continue to work hard to aim for a higher rank."

Yokozuna Houshouryuu will be competing in the Nagoya basho (starting on the
12th at IG Arena), his Oyakata Tatsunami  said today. "He has been training
with the intention of competing. I hope he can somehow manage to do his
best for all 15 days," he said. He will be aiming for his first yusho as a
Yokozuna in his ninth tournament since his promotion. Houshouryuu, who
withdrew from the previous tournament on the second day due to a right
hamstring injury, has been training at Sakaigawa beya and Takasago beya for
three days from the 6th to increase his training pace. He finished degeiko
yesterday and spent today resting.

Yokozuna Oonosato, who is aiming to make a comeback after missing two
consecutive tournaments due to a left shoulder injury, held a morning keiko
session today at Nishonoseki beya in Anjo City, Aichi Prefecture, which was
closed to the press. According to sources, he did sumo and other stuff.

To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


The torikumi for days 1 and 2  were decided today. Yokozuna Houshouryuu,
returning from injury, will face Ouhou on the first day and Takanoshou on
the second day. Yokozuna Oonosato will face newly promoted Komusubi
Yoshinofuji on the first day and Fujinokawa on the second day. Ozeki
Kirishima, who is vying for promotion to Yokozuna, will face Fujinokawa on
the first day and Ouhou on the second day. Aonishiki, who has been demoted
from Ozeki and will be competing in the Nagoya tournament as a Sekiwake, is
scheduled to face Hiradoumi on the first day. Wakatakakage, who won his
second top division championship last basho, will be absent from the
tournament. He injured his left thigh during practice on the 1st, was
diagnosed with femoral compartment syndrome, underwent emergency surgery,
and was hospitalized. Chief judge Asakayama expressed his concern, saying,
"I hope he recovers quickly and comes back soon."

Here's hoping for a great basho with no injuries and nice promotions. And
hummus.

With the Nagoya basho starting tomorrow, Wakamotoharu participated in
morning practice at his heya's lodgings in Nagoya today, making his final
adjustments. On this day, he focused on basic exercises such as shiko and
suriashi, checking his physical condition as he moved around, and also gave
instructions to younger rikishi. He said that he had suffered a sudden
lower back injury a few days ago, explaining, "Even with that, I was able
to recover well and keep moving my body." Regarding the impact on the
tournament, he said, "I don't think it will have any effect. I do it all
the time. I'm much better." On the first day, he will face Takayasu. In
past matches, he has a poor record against him, but he said, "I'll just do
what I can, and I don't have any sense of inferiority. I'll just go for
it," showing no signs of anxiety. As for what he's looking forward to in
Nagoya, he said, "I think I'm enjoying it. However, I haven't been able to
eat Yamamotoya's udon yet this year." He said he would like to go to
Yamamotoya, a restaurant known for Nagoya's famous miso-stewed udon, as a
"reward" for achieving good results.

The Kyokai announced today that the total number of kensho applications for
the Nagoya basho reached 3,504, significantly breaking the record for the
most applications for a regional tournament. The previous record for a
regional tournament was 2,724 applications for March of this year, so this
represents an increase of approximately 800. It is also more than 1,100
more than the 2,391 applications for last year's Nagoya basho and surpasses
the 3,469 applications for the last January basho. By rikishi, Yokozuna
Oonosato has the most with 170 applications. He was followed by Ozeki
Kotozakura with 159 and Oushouma (Huh? Really?) with 145. Ozeki Kirishima
has 137 and Yokozuna Houshouryuu has 108. A total of 115 companies applied.
Among the new applicants, Honshu Construction of Nagoya City applied for
198 applications in total, with 3 applications each for the first 18 bouts
in Makuuchi on the first day, the middle day, and the final day, and also
for the 5th bout on the other days. Aichi International Arena, which
operates IG Arena, will sponsor two bouts per day, and the Chunichi Dragons
baseball team, celebrating their 90th anniversary, will also sponsor two
bouts per day. In honor of the 90th anniversary, a prize will be offered
for the ninth bout in Makuuchi as well..

Certificate for Juryo 13W Hakuyouzan: "He is expected to require
approximately six months of treatment due to a ruptured right Achilles
tendon." He underwent surgery on June 18th and is almost certain to be
demoted to Makushita for the next basho.

The Kyokai  released the medical certificate for Sekiwake Wakatakakage, the
yusho winner of the last basho, dated the 7th, stating that he "requires
two months of treatment and rest due to traumatic compartment syndrome in
the left thigh. However, this may change depending on the future
progression of his condition." This is the first time a tournament winner
has been absent from the first day of the following tournament since
Yokozuna Terunofuji, who won the Nagoya basho two years ago and then
withdrew from Aki basho.

To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


Going down to Makushita 1, we find Tanji (20, Russian mother). Some folks
follow him religiously. He took part in asageiko at his heya Arashio's
lodgings in Nagoya today, making his final adjustments. He had five bouts,
and his sharp tachiai and strength were noticeable. "I was able to adjust
well. Things are going smoothly," he nodded, and regarding the tournament,
he said in a quiet tone, "I just need to stay focused." Even though it is
an important tournament where his promotion to Sekitori is at stake, he
regarded his situation and said, "I am aware of it, but it will be
different once the tournament starts. I want to focus on the opponent in
front of me." His otibekust ( a word I use for tsukebito, but the other way
around, as he is Wakatakakage's tsukebito, but there's no word for the
opposite..), Wakatakakage, injured his left thigh during practice on the
1st and was diagnosed with femoral compartment syndrome, underwent surgery
and was hospitalized, and will miss this basho. "I have to to gambarize. I
want to give him good news," he said with determination.

And there was this..

The Nagoya basho starts this weekend!

Before the festivities (and my daily tournament updates), it?s time for me
to try and predict the win-loss records for every wrestler in the top two
divisions. That?s right, I?m doing *j?ry?* predictions, too. That?s a first
for me.

Enjoy!

   Y1e H?sh?ry?
   -

   S1e Atamifuji

My prediction for the 2026 Nagoya *basho* is a play-off between H?sh?ry?
and Atamifuji. If that comes to fruition, I think it?s a toss up between
those two who takes it. H?sh?ry? has more talent, in my opinion, but
Atamifuji?s size causes him problems.

I thought *H?sh?ry?* was in a great spot to challenge for the title in May.
He seemed recovered from his various injuries and the prospect of not
having to face either ?nosato or Aonishiki would have made the field a lot
easier for him. It wasn?t meant to be, though. I don?t think the hamstring
injury is going to carry over into this tournament. He?s looking very good
on exhibition and in some open practises. If ?nosato and Aonishiki might
still be a little rusty, so this might be a very good opportunity for
H?sh?ry? to add to his slightly underwhelming *yush?* haul.

I like the progression I?ve seen with *Atamifuji* this year. He hasn?t been
flashy, but he?s slowly and gradually improved his ranking and standing in
the sport. And he?s still only 23. He?s always had great size and his
*yotsu-zum?* (grappling) is extremely good; especially when he uses
*gaburi-yori* (torso thrusting). His mentality let him down in the past. He
used to get nervous before the big matches. But he seems to have conquered
that and even developed a bit of a mean streak. I think that?s all a good
sign for a Atami-pudding *yush?* in the very near future.
11 wins

   Y1w ?nosato

This is assuming that *?nosato* is able to make it through fifteen days of
competition. He?s listed for day one and just blanked Kotozakura in eleven
practise bouts. I think we might see something similar to what we saw in
January. In that tournament, ?nosato was compromised, but still able to
compete through the entire *basho*. In that tournament he used his size and
athleticism to rush opponents out but, at times, was clearly babying his
shoulder, especially in prolonged and more arduous matches. He went 10-5
then.

This is wishful thinking from me. There?s a good chance that a few hard
*tachiai* might land ?nosato back on the sidelines. Hopefully that doesn?t
happen, though.

   S2w Aonishiki

   K1e Yoshinofuji
   -

   M13w Takerufuji

*Kirishima* has been the best wrestler of 2026 and I think he?s going to
pick up where he left off in May. However, I think the field will be a lot
more challenging for him this time around. I think that means he?ll get a
good record, but fall short of being a serious title challenger. He does
have a shot at becoming a *yokozuna* in this tournament. But he?ll probably
need at least a 14-1 record and the *yush?*. That?s a very tough ask
anyway. But with ?nosato, H?sh?ry? and Aonishiki back in action, I think
that might be an impossible task.

I think the *san?yaku *is going to be very good this month and that they
might feast on the *j?i* at this tournament. We?ve got a very good
collection of wrestlers in these upper rankings, including the returning
Aonishiki and the debuting Yoshinofuji.

I?m predicting *Aonishiki* gets the ten wins he needs to get immediately
promoted back to *?zeki*. He was found out in March, with his opponents
targeting his freestyle wrestling like posture (with a myriad of methods).
I have faith that, after a tournament off, the young and wildly talented
Ukrainian has figured out how to get back to winning ways (perhaps through
an embrace of more classical sumo?).

*Yoshinofuji* has progressed a lot this year. He just looks like he belongs
at this level and soon, I bet, we?re going to start seeing him belong at an
even higher level than this. He has off-the-charts athleticism and a
fantastic mindset. He has room to grow, technically, but I don?t think that
will hold him back in this tournament.

I have Yoshinofuji?s stablemate *Takerufuji* getting double digits on his
return to the top division. I think he has a very friendly ranking at this
tournament (M13) and I was very impressed with how he finished the last
tournament.

I?ve picked three Isegahama guys to get 10+ wins. It?s going to be hard to
ignore just how stacked that stable is right now (thanks to JSA
shenanigans, of course).

   M7w Takayasu

   M8e Wakamotoharu
   -

   M11e Wakanosh?
   -

   M16w Asak?ry?

I have *Kotosh?h?* doing well in this tournament, too. I?ve doubted him
during this current career surge, but I think he?ll continue to win at
*sekiwake*. He seems to have reined in his chaotic tendencies this year
and, if he can continue to do that, I think he can establish himself in the
*san?yaku*.

I think *Hakunofuji* will join his high-level Isegahama comrades in doing
well at this tournament. I?ve been a big fan of him ever since he was
Ochiai. He?s the only wrestler in the *j?i* that I?ve predicted a winning
record for (not fighting Yoshinofuji and Atamifuji will help with that).

*Takayasu* and *Wakamotoharu* have low rankings, for them, at this
tournament. They should be good enough to a winning record here.

I like what I saw from *Wakanosh?* in the last tournament. He really
reminds me of his stable master Takakeish?.

*Asak?ry?* will have a lot of motivation to get a winning record. Any
losing record will put him in *j?ry?*. I think that means we?ll see more
than a few *henka* out of him this month.

   M15e ?nokatsu

   M15w Kazuma

   M16e Daiseizen

I have *?sh?ma* leading the bare-minimum brigade at this tournament. He?s
not bad when he?s lurking just outside the *j?i*. He?s still pretty
inconsistent, though. So I won?t be surprised if he actually ends up going
2-13 or something.

*Sh?dai* still has some gas left in the tank and I think he can skirt by,
despite being ranked somewhat high.

I think *Kotoeih?* and *Fujiryoga* will follow up their career highs with
under-the-radar *kachi-koshi*. I think they have decent futures, but I
don?t see them getting into a title race for the second tournament in a row.

I?m still choosing to see a lot of potential in *Asahak?ry?*, despite how
disappointing he was in the last tournaments. If his teammate *Asanoyama*
is healthy, I think he?s good enough to get 8-7.

*Abi*?s gotta get a winning record at this rank, right?

*?nokatsu* only went down to *j?ry?* because he was hurt. He looked in good
shape in the second half of the May tournament. *Kazuma* and *Daiseizan*
are our two rookies for the tournament. I think both has some upside, but
I?m not expecting very big things from them right now.

   M14w Kinb?zan

?h??s record at *komusubi* has been abysmal. I think he?ll be the odd-man
out in the *san?yaku*, with everyone else doing very well.

*G?noyama* and *Churanoumi* are two of the *j?i* wrestlers I expect to
suffer for all the *san?yaku*?s successes. *Fujiseun*, *R?ga*, *Mitakeumi*
and *Kinb?zan* have all been treading water this year. I think they?ll end
up with one too many losses in Nagoya.

   M14w Shishi

*Takanosh?* and *Daieish?* fit into my strong *san?yaku* theory. With them
being a little older, too, I think they might struggle.

*Tobizaru* had a big tournament in May. I think this will be a letdown
*basho* for him. I think *Nishikifuji* and *Shishi* will struggle. Both are
at their ceilings here and I can see them yo-yo-ing between *makuuchi* and
*j?ry?* over the next few tournaments.

   O1w Kotozakura

   M1e Fujinokawa

   M10w Chiyosh?ma

I keep sticking my neck out for *Kotozakura*, expecting a return to the
form that saw him win his lone *yush?* in November 2024. It?s just not
happening, though. I think his size/shape is effecting his ability to stay
healthy. And his body language has been very poor this year. I think
there?s a strong chance he loses his *?zeki* ranking at this tournament.

*Fujinokawa* is another *j?i* boy I think will struggle. He hasn?t looked
at home at this ranking, yet, and those *san?yaku *boys are starting to
figure him out.

*Ura* and *Chiyosh?ma* are both ranked a little too high for their
comfort-level. I think, despite their creativity, they will find it hard to
get wins in July.
4 wins

   -

   M4w Ichiyamamoto

I love me some *Ichiyamamoto*. But I think he?ll have the most trouble of
all these *j?i* wrestlers. He?s been lucky (?) to keep a high ranking
lately, despite losing records, and I think that means he?s in for a very
tough time in July.
0 wins

   -

   S2e Wakatakakage

*Wakatakakage* won?t be at this tournament. Reports state that he had
potentially life saving surgery a few weeks ago. Hopefully he gets healthy
soon, regardless if he competes.

   Nishikigi: 6-9
   -

   J13w Hakuyozan: 0-0-15

*Toshinofuji* is my pick to win the second division title. I love his size
and his *yotsu* skills. He lacked consistency in May. That was his debut
tournament in *j?ry?*. This time around, I think he?ll be able to put in a
complete fifteen day performance. I think *Asahifuji* is going to win
*makushita* this month. So that means I?m predicting a possible Isegahama
sweep (if Atamifuji comes out on top in *makuuchi*) of the top three
divisions.

And look, I have *Midorifuji* doing well, too. I think *Tokihayate*,
*?sh?umi* and *Tamawashi* will land on their feet. I like what I saw from
*Sh?nannoumi* and *Kitanowaka* last time out. There could be *makuuchi *returns
in their futures. *Meisei* has been stuck down here for an uncomfortably
long time. The former *sekiwake* has to show some improvement this month.

I think the *j?ry?* field is pretty evenly matched, as a whole. I think
there will be lots of 8-7 and 7-8 records. I?ve taken some coin flips on a
few of those wrestlers. Sadly, I think *Nishikigi* might finish with one of
the worst records. That Nagoya tournament in 2023, where he looked like a
possible champ, feels like a distant memory now.

To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


Ikazuchishuu (18, Ikazuchi beya), ranked 72E in Sandanme defeated Kenshin
by uwatenage, securing his first victory in his highest career rank. He
started sumo after joining the stable, made his debut in March last year,
and has only had two tournaments with a makekoshi. He is a rapidly
improving hopeful of the heya, but he has also become a topic of
conversation due to his tank top tan lines. When the heya's X uploaded
photos of the rikishi on the 11th, his distinct tan lines stood out.
According to Ikazuchishuu, during the break after the Natsu basho in May,
he returned to his family home in Tokyo and went fishing with his father.
It was about seven hours from 7 a.m., but because it was a sunny day, he
was left with a tan line from his tank top that still hasn't disappeared.
When he returned to the heya, he was asked, "What the %$$#?", and it's
still there more than a month later. "It just won't go away. It's my
charming point." Incidentally, his family runs a fish shop, and on that day
they caught 30 to 40 horse mackerel, which they ate with the family.
Although he unexpectedly attracted attention, he vowed, "I'm staying
focused and practicing hard. (My goal is) to achieve a kachikoshi.."

Aonishiki beat Churanoumi today, getting his second consecutive win since
the the basho started. Maintaining his characteristic forward movement, he
patiently continued to look for an opportunity to win. In contrast to the
first day when he took a slightly erratic stance at the start (yeah,
right..) to get a grip, he has returned to his original style. "I focused
on my own movements. I tried to go lower than my opponent. I felt like I
was moving better than I thought." However, he was seen worrying about his
left ankle ringside after the match, indicating that his injury is not yet
fully healed. Despite this, starting with two wins is not a bad thing. On
the first day, he took a slightly erratic (again?) stance to get a left
grip, but the fact that he won was significant. "It's not perfect, but I
feel like I've overcome one thing. It felt special," he reflected.

He has always said that the first day is particularly tense for him. It's
not a bad start, but he's not getting carried away. "I've only been
competing for two days. I haven't faced anyone higher in rank, and I
haven't faced anyone bigger than me." Although he was demoted from Ozeki ,
he can regain the rank if he achieves 10 or more wins. However, Aonishiki
is not fixated on the numbers. "Rather than focusing too much on wins, I'm
trying to concentrate on doing my own sumo properly. Winning isn't
everything." There's a reason behind his thinking. "I'm still young. I'm
aiming to go up one or two ranks higher. It's better not to get too hung up
on the numbers." He's not just focusing on regaining his Ozeki rank in this
tournament, but is looking at his sumo career from a broader perspective.
That's why, even with injuries, he doesn't push himself too hard. On the
contrary, the atmosphere he creates in the dressing room is calm. "I'm
trying not to think about unnecessary things and to live each day to the
fullest. That's what leads to the most growth. I'll do my best to show good
sumo tomorrow as well." Aonishiki, who speaks fluent Japanese, deliberately
used the expression "to live." [Ichiro Sasaki]

To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


During the Makuuchi dohyo-iri, a fire alarm sounded inside the arena. An
announcement was made throughout the arena stating, "A fire has broken out
on the second floor," and the reading of the rikishis' names was
interrupted. Yokozuna Oonosato's dohyo-iri proceeded without any
announcements, and the announcements  resumed during Yokozuna Houshouryuu's
dohyo-iri. According to the Kyokai, the cause was that a visitor attempting
to enter a multi-purpose restroom accidentally pressed the red emergency
button on a nearby fire hydrant. The venue's system switched to a setting
that prioritized emergency broadcasts, and the disaster alarm system was
activated. As a result, not only the announcements but also the air
conditioning was temporarily shut off. The venue and the Kyokai confirmed
through monitors and determined that there was no fire. An announcement was
made throughout the arena stating, "We have confirmed that there is no
fire." The matches proceeded as scheduled, and there was no major
disruption among the spectators. The Kyokai has reconfirmed future
procedures with the venue.

So a guy goes in for a dump and the all-newfangled Venue goes into panic
mode..

To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


Kimura Satoshi (37, Takasago ), Makushita gyojik, has been wearing a
wristband under the sleeve of his robe when he steps onto the dohyo this
basho. The orange wristband has the number "29" sewn onto it. This was made
in the hope of the recovery of umpire Kawakami Takuto (30), who suffered a
head injury while serving as the home plate umpire in a professional
baseball game in April. The JABA Prefectural Baseball Federation Umpire
Department made the wristbands. They are being sold to those who want them
for a fee, and the proceeds are being given to the family as a condolence
payment. They cost 1,500 yen each. Satoshi, who bought two and is wearing
them, said, "I thought about what I could do. The rules changed after that
incident, and home plate umpires now have to wear helmets. We are in the
same situation as him, where we don't know when we might get injured when
we're on the dohyo." The wristband also has the effect of preventing sweat
stains on the referee's robe. Before joining the sumo world, Satoshi was an
amateur baseball umpire. During his high school years, he was registered as
an umpire with the Yamaguchi-Ube Baseball Federation, his hometown.
Coincidentally, his number at the time was "29," the same as umpire
Kawakami. He also aspired to become a professional umpire, but a vacancy
opened up for a gyoji position, which led him to drop out of high school
and choose the path of Ozumo. Just as baseball umpires and sumo gyojis are
essential for their sport to function, Satoshi quietly supports them as one
of them. [Ichiro Sasaki]

Juryo 5 Oushouumi is out, after submitting a medical certificate to the
Kyokai stating that he had suffered a fracture of the fibula shaft and that
surgical treatment would be necessary. He sustained the injury in his match
against Kazekenou yesterday, which he lost. Naruto Oyakata said, "He broke
a thin bone in his shin. He will have surgery today. He'll be fine once the
bone heals. There's no need to be discouraged. He's still young,"
expressing his hope for a speedy recovery. He has already been hospitalized
in Aichi Prefecture and will not return to the basho. He is certain to be
demoted to Makushita for Aki . This is Oushouumi's tenth withdrawal from a
tournament, the first since Haru last year. His opponent today, Kitanowaka,
will get the freebie. There are now three sekitori who have withdrawn from
this tournament.

Maegashira  11E Wakanoshou, who had won five straight bouts from day 1,
suffered an accident. He injured his right knee during his bout against
Fujiryouga. After a fierce exchange of thrusts, he lost his balance when
pushed at the edge of the dohyo and remained motionless on all fours. It
appeared he had twisted his right knee. He was helped off the ring by the
yobidashi and then taken away in a wheelchair. He had a 9-6 record in the
previous tournament and was in good form this tournament as well, with five
straight wins from the first day. His style is similar to that of his
Oyakata Minatogawa (former Ozeki Takakeishou), who used fierce thrusts and
pushes as his weapon, and there were high expectations for him, so there is
concern about the extent of his injury. Comments such as "Please, just
don't get seriously injured" and "I hope it's just a minor injury" were
posted on social media.



Kagayaki (32, Takadagawa), ranked Juryo 11E, oshidashi'ed Enhou (Juryo
11W), securing his third win (3 losses). He carefully observed his
opponent's movements and attacked relentlessly without letting him get
close. "I was able to have a good match with a lot of fighting spirit," he
reflected. The two are the same age and from the same Ishikawa prefecture,
and were teammates at Kanazawa Municipal Seinanbu Junior High School, where
they won the national prefectural championship as close friends. Despite
their special relationship, he said, "That doesn't matter. It's a
competition," readying himself as he stepped onto the dohyo. This was their
first match since the 8th day of Aki basho 2022 , and the overall record
now stands at 5 wins and 2 losses for Kagayaki. He shows no mercy in
competition, stating firmly, "It would be disrespectful to think about it."
Nevertheless, when Enhou was absent due to that spinal cord injury, he was
more heartbroken than anyone. "There are a lot of things going on inside. I
know a lot about him, and I've seen a lot of it, so it's a complicated
feeling." Regarding Enhou's return to sekitori after three years, Kagayaki
said, "It's truly amazing. I have nothing but respect for him." He had even
advised Enhou to retire out of concern for the possibility of something
going wrong. Nevertheless, once Enhou decided to continue, he supported
him. Even after winning, he walked down the hanamichi without changing his
expression at all, which was Kagayaki's way of dealing with things. As for
a rematch, he said, "I'll think about it when the opportunity arises to do
it again," and spoke of the true duty of a rikishi, saying, "During the
basho, I will concentrate on each match one at a time." [Ichiro Sasaki]

Enhou responds regarding his match against Kagayaki today:
When he learned of the match the day before, he said, "I was happy." During
the period when he was away from the dohyo for a long time due to a spinal
cord injury, Kagayaki, worried about him, even advised him to retire. "A
lot of time has passed. At the time (when I was injured), I never thought a
day like this would come, so being able to come back this far is a source
of joy." There was a definite meaning in them facing each other again in
the dohyo as sekitori. The match was not easy. Enhou started low and moved
forward, but was pushed back by Kagayaki's pressure. He circled around at
the edge of the dohyo, but was ultimately pushed out. "I was determined to
give it my all," he said. Despite facing an old friend, he said there was
"no particular difficulty." Their most recent encounter was won  in 2022 by
Enhou with a kainahineri. Their past head-to-head record was 2 wins and 4
losses for Enhou. He returned to the sekitori fold last tournament after a
three-year absence, and this tournament they are both ranked at 11th in the
East and West of Juryon, which made this match possible. There is a
possibility of future matches. "I can't end it with a loss, so I definitely
want to beat him next time." The fact that they clashed again in the dohyo
as sekitori is what makes the loss all the more frustrating. Finally, he
expressed his feelings for his old acquaintance, saying, "I hope we can
both stay injury-free and aim for the top." [Ryotaro Yamada]

Aonishiki explained the injury he sustained during his bout today. He
pushed out Takanoshou to secure his seventh win, but lost his balance while
pushing him out and fell off the dohyo. He stumbled to the left, and when
he tried to brace himself with his left foot, his second step was
insufficient, causing him to collapse. He remained motionless off the dohyo
for a while, creating an uneasy atmosphere. He limped slowly down the
hanamichi into the furoba (bath). His tsukebito ran back and forth between
the shitakubeya  and the furoba with a plastic bag full of ice, creating a
tense atmosphere. After washing off the sweat in the bath, Aonishiki placed
ice on his left big toe while his hair was being tied up. When asked if it
was his toe, he explained, "It felt like my toe hit something." When asked
about the pain, he said, "I'm not sure yet."

Subject: [Sumo news] - Makushita Asahifuji
To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


Ex-Juryo Nabatame achieved a remarkable victory defeating Asahifuji, who
had been undefeated since his debut in Jonokuchi, with a tsukidashi. This
ended Asahifuji's winning streak at 25, the third longest in history. From
the start of the bout, Nabatame attacked with two-handed thrusts, not
allowing his opponent to get a grip on his mawashi at all. Nabatame,
breathless, said, "I felt the energy in the arena rise, and that's how I
ended up wrestling like that. I owe it all to the support." The match
between two rikishi with four consecutive wins was a showdown where the
former Juryo wrestler showed his determination. After securing a kachikoshi
on day 7, Nabatame was already looking ahead to his match against
Asahifuji, saying, "I want to steal the spotlight." His Oyakata Futagoyama
is currently absent due to poor health. Nabatame said, "For the first time
this tournament, my Oyakata told me, 'It's okay to lose, just go for it.'
I'd be happy if he gets better," and he lived up to expectations with his
results. The efforts of his teammates also motivated him. Mita,  also a
former Juryo rikishi who had dropped in rank due to a knee injury and is
now ranked East Makushita 41, also achieved his fifth win and expressed his
support for Nabatame's match, saying, "I believe he can do it." Nabatame
said, "I'm happy that Mita has made a smooth recovery and is able to
wrestle in the dohyo again. Our Oyakata is not in good health, so when our
father is not feeling well, the kids step up. Everyone is getting good
results, and that's pulling me along too." If both Nabatame and Mita
continue their winning streaks, they could face each other in the
championship playoff. "We're together in the heya, but we haven't talked
about that. We want to encourage each other and do our best to wrestle
well." Precisely because their Oyakata is absent, the disciples are more
united than ever. [Ichiro Sasaki]

Aonishiki beat Yokozuna Oonosato to secure his eighth win and a kachikoshi.
He is now just two wins away from the 10 wins needed to return to Ozeki,
with six days remaining. He watched Oonosato come out charging with both
hands. He was pushed to the edge of the dohyo, but he dodged the tawara,
and Oonosato, who was skillfully thrown off balance, could not regain his
balance and stepped out of the dohyo. "My body just moved on its own." He
defeated an opponent he had lost to in all previous matches. He is not
getting carried away with his kachikoshi. "I think the real challenge
starts now. I want to stay focused and do my best from tomorrow onwards."
He said that he and his Oyakata "talked a lot about how to approach the
match" before the bout, and he believes that preparation "led to today's
result." There was even more tape on his left ankle and below than the
previous day. He injured his ankle at the Natsu basho, and on day 8, he
also injured his big toe. In the shitakubeya, his big toe's nail was
bleeding. Regarding the treatment, he explained, "I had a doctor come from
Tokyo to treat me, and I'm feeling much better." When asked about appearing
to be in pain dohyo-side, he drew a line, saying, "Let's leave the topic of
injuries here." He needs just two more wins to reach 10. "I'm not
particularly thinking about it, and I want to do my best in the remaining
six matches so that everyone in Nagoya can be happy," he said
enthusiastically.

Ozeki Kotozakura, who is in danger of demotion, suffered his fifth loss
today. He was defeated by Hakunofuji by uwatenage,  bringing his record to
4-5 . His opponent got close to him, and when he tried to move forward, he
was thrown by an overarm throw and tumbled out of the dohyo. When he
returned to the shitakubeya, he banged loudly on the door near the entrance
with his left hand, showing his frustration. He did not speak to the press.

Subject: [Sumo news] - Asakayama Oyakata on Kirishima's promotion chance
To: Sumo Newsletter2 <sumo-newsletter2 at googlegroups.com>


Regarding Ozeki Kirishima's second loss as he aims for promotion to
Yokozuna, Chief Judge Asakayama (former Ozeki KaioU) expressed the view
that the situation for his promotion to Yokozuna has become more difficult.
Kirishima suffered his second loss today against Churanoumi. There was a
monoii, but the gyoji's decision was upheld. Including his loss to
Hiradoumi on the 5th, both losses were against hiramaku rikishi. Regarding
the second loss, Chief Judge Asakayama expressed his hopes for the future,
saying, "I hope he will continue to wrestle well with the intention of
winning everything," and regarding the need for a high-level championship,
he said, "I can't say anything about that yet, but it's only the 9th day.
There's still a long way to go." However, when asked if he could make a
comeback, he commented, "It's certainly getting tougher. When you consider
that his opponents (in his two losses) were hiramaku rikishi... it means
that the competition is strong."

Kirishima was 12-3 in the last tournament. He participated in the playoff
match but lost to Wakatakakage. His performance was deemed goof enough for
a tsunatori run this basho. Two days before the start of this basho, after
the torikumi making meeting, Chief Judge Asakayama said, "Even if he wins
the yusho, I think the results and the content of his matches will all be
judged. It's a high-level victory he needs," indicating his thoughts on him
being promoted to Yokozuna.
