Kotooushuu has had an accident and re-injured his right knee and did not participate in the Nishonoseki rengo keiko today, although he was there. Some Makushita guys crashed into him as he was outside the dohyo, hitting him on the knee. He then left the keikoba limping, but did not go to the hospital. "We immediately put some ice on it," said Sadogatake Oyakata, who did not look too concerned.

According to the Kyokai, the 12th Yokozuna Jinmaku performed dohyo-iri at the ripe old age of 73. As far as "proper" kanreki dohyo-iri are concerned to mark the 60th birthday, there have been eight prior examples. 1937 - 22nd Yokozuna Tachiyama Tachimochi: Former Ozeki Tachihikari Tsuyuharai: Former Maegashira Tachinoumi 1952 - 27th Yokozuna Tochigiyama Tachimochi: 36th Yokozuna Haguroyama Tsuyuharai: 37th Yokozuna Akinoumi 1956 - 31st Yokozuna Tsunenohana Tachimochi: 35th Yokozuna Futabayama Tsuyuharai: 41st Yokozuna Chiyonoyama 1985 - 44th Yokozuna Tochinishiki Tachimochi: 45th Yokozuna Wakanohana I Tsuyuharai: 50th Yokozuna Sadanoyama 1988 - 45th Yokozuna Wakanohana I Tachimochi: 56th Yokozuna Wakanohana II Tsuyuharai: 59th Yokozuna Takanosato 2000 - 48th Yokozuna Taiho Tachimochi: 55th Yokozuna Kitanoumi Tsuyuharai: 58th Yokozuna Chiyonofuji 2002 - 52nd Yokozuna Kitanofuji Tachimochi: 58th Yokozuna Chiyonofuji Tsuyuharai: 61st Yokozuna Hokutoumi 2007 - 57th Yokozuna Mienoumi Tachimochi: Former Ozeki Dejima Tsuyuharai: Former Ozeki Miyabiyama

In preparation for his kanreki dohyo-iri in June, Kitanoumi's tsunauchi was held today at his heya. The heya's two sekitori, Kitataiki and Nionoumi, took part while veteran Tenichi kept the rope-making rhythm going with a small taiko drum. Rikishi from Kise-beya (who were briefly part of Kitanoumi-beya) also took part, as did Onogawa-oyakata (ex-Bushuyama) and sewanin Byakuhoyama and Yuho.
