Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugikan
Hokutenyu's win streak ends at eight, and he joins his opponent Dewanohana, along with Kurama and Wakanohana, with an 8-2 record. Takamiyama was unable to join them as he has lost three of his last five after starting out 5-0; he lost today to Juryo man Aobajo. Kitanoumi still leads Chiyonofuji at the top.

SHIKONA
A sumo wrestler's ring name is usually his own, but they may create a new one from the names of places, weapons or lineage. For example, "waka" means junior and is often an indication that their father was in the sport. The wrestlers in both the Makuuchi and Juryo divisions are addressed as -zeki rather than the usual -san or informal -chan.
