Re-promoted ozeki Kirishima secured his seventh straight win to remain undefeated at the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament on Saturday, while ozeki Kotozakura continued his poor start with a fifth loss.
Spring tournament champion Kirishima stayed sharp on the raised ring at Tokyo’s Ryogoku Kokugikan as the ozeki handled strong charges from Daieisho before forcing the No. 4 maegashira backward and out.
Kotozakura suffered his third consecutive defeat at the hands of Oho. The No. 3 maegashira gained ground from the opening clash and while Kotozakura grabbed a right overarm belt hold, he left himself little room to maneuver and was pushed out.
Komusubi Wakatakakage stayed one win behind by easily pushing out Ichiyamamoto after the former Emperor’s Cup winner met little resistance from the No. 2 maegashira.
No. 13 maegashira Kotoeiho pulled down top-tier makuuchi division debutant and No. 16 maegashira Wakanosho, while No. 15 maegashira Tobizaru beat No. 12 maegashira Shishi with an overarm throw to also continue their strong starts.
New sekiwake Kotoshoho had his left hand pulled by Hiradoumi but used his body to tackle the No. 3 maegashira and won by frontal push down.
Also making his debut at the third highest rank this month, Atamifuji used his huge frame to full advantage in a one-sided push-out win against No. 5 maegashira Wakamotoharu.
