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.
