Doitsuyama 1,263 Posted March 25, 2012 Losses from Arawashi and Kitaharima opened up as many as six possible juryo slots. Sakumayama won against Kitazono to secure his juryo promotion with the 5-2 record while Shironoryu missed out on the 5-2 finish with the loss against Kei, so there are only four more or less obvious promotion candidates with Sakumayama, Kitazono, Tokushoryu and Homarefuji. We will know the promotions in a few days but my guess is there will be two lucky juryo rikishi (Hokutokuni and Kitaharima or even Amuru) instead of more forced promotions from makushita. Makushita tsukedashi Yamaguchi finished with a hatakikomi win over Tochiyashiki for an impressive 5-2 debut. Ryuden will reach a new career high next basho as he finished 6-1 after a nice shitatenage against Kamei. Other rikishi at 6-1 today are smallish Kisenowaka in his debut and Wakaryusei who beat recent juryo Sadanoumi with a fantastic utchari. A makushita debut gone wrong was the one from Kenho who lost the sandanme yusho playoff last basho but went 1-6 this basho, doing much worse than his playoff aite Kotokawazu who won yesterday to finish 3-4 in the upper half of makushita. There was a sandanme yusho kettei-sen again this basho, the only lower division playoff this basho, with both rikishi out of Dewanoumi-beya. 27 years old Kihonoumi actually is a mid makushita regular who fell down because of an injury I suppose, going 2-1-4 and 0-0-7 before returning last basho with a 1-6. He seems to be recovered by now as he beat his do-beya opponent, 18 years old Aonosho, with sukuinage to get his first career yusho. Aonosho will have a big jump in the banzuke, improving his career high rank from Sd86 to low makushita.
