Day 9 lower division results

[Doitsuyama 1,156]

It's a close juryo promotion race with lead makushita Kotoyutaka beating Arawashi to get ahead to 3-2. Fellow lead makushita Kei lost to Takanoiwa in juryo while Ms2e Terashita beat Homarefuji, also in juryo. Satoyama lost to Azumaryu, leaving all four leading makushita rikishi at 3-2. Of course, with all the kyujo rikishi in juryo plus several struggling one, a prommotion is likely for any of them with just one more win. Yamaguchi is still undefeated and probably also needs only one more win for a juryo debut. It's a hood makushita yusho race with Sensho and Dairaido also in it, as well as 22-year-old Higoarashi from Kise-beya who made big strides in the last year, reaching Ms15 before a setback left him underranked this basho.

It is July or never for veteran Kotoyutaka, as it was for Bushuyama about 4 years ago.

[Asashosakari 16,974]

After a lot of false starts well-regarded high schooler Nogami will finally be making his makushita debut next basho. After starting off in the star-studded Hatsu 2009 maezumo class with a 3-0 including wins against Takageppo and experienced collegiate Azumaryu, he ran up all the way to Sd25e in just 4 more basho, totalling a 22-6 record. Now, nearly three later, he's ranked only one spot higher at Sd24w, but at 5-0 he's assured of promotion at last.

Over on the Heisei Hopefuls we actually just welcomed another high school rikishi from that maezumo basho to makushita, but Chiyosakae went 2-6 there and found himself only at Jd52w after his first four tournaments... What a difference three years can make.
