Comments

The individual competition in this tournament features the same year group as the Hirosaki Tournament a month or so ago, who are high school 2nd years going onto their 3rd and final year. A major characteristic about this year group is that it is incredibly open, pretty much anyone can win on the day. There's never been any standout rikishis amongst them, and the winners have almost always been different each time. This time around, it was Naya Konosuke (納谷 幸之介) who came out on top, he's the most talented grandson of the late Yokozuna Taiho.

The always strong Saitama Sakae High School added their third successive Kochi Tournament triumph (and ninth overall) to their impressive record by comfortably overcoming Kaiyo High School, winners of the Hirosaki Tournament last month. This capped off a very successful Kochi Tournament for them, as Naya Konosuke, who is one of their club-members, came away with the individual title.
