Day 9 lower division results

[Doitsuyama]

Wakakirin beat Kirinowaka with a kotenage, an unusual kimarite for the oshi-specialist. At 5-0 Wakakirin has a good shot at the yusho as well going for a juryo re-promotion. Former juryo Yanagawa won against career-high Mongolian Shironoryu to join Wakakirin in the makushita lead. It wasn't a good day for Sakaizawa-beya as Fukunaga also lost, against underdog Chokozan. Sokokurai continues to reduce the makushita leaders as he beat Satsumanishiki to leave only three makushita rikishi at 5-0. If the lean Inner Mongolian faces and beats Chokozan in his next bout, there could be a single rikishi at 6-0.

As for juryo promotion, Sakaizawa continues the basho turn-around with his third straight win, showing technical prowess with a shitatehineri against Yoshiazuma. Hoshihikari won his second straight, against slumping Sumanofuji, and still has a chance at kachi-koshi. Ichihara already is kachi-koshi, beating Takamifuji in the bout between the two rikishi at Ms2. Kitataiki is 3-2 with a yorikiri against Buyuzan and still can hope for promotion as can Kotokasuga who is 4-1 after a win against Miyamoto.

Other makushita rikishi getting kachi-koshi today include Kimurayama who makes a strong comeback, Matsutani, recent tsukedashi Mori and Kazafuzan.

In top sandanme Hungarian Masutoo lost again to fall to 3-2. Former komusubi Chiyotenzan won his first bout after five losses. The two Brazilian sandanme leaders split results today with Takaazuma losing to makushita-sandanme elevator Wakasuruga and Kaisei beating makushita level Katsunofuji.

Minami and Ri are the sole jonidan rikishi at 5-0, but six more will join them tomorrow. In jonokuchi Terashita and Tagen are leading the field as the only two undefeated rikishi.

Shonichi for Daiyuubu！！

Edited May 21, 2007 by Gacktoh

[aderechelsea]

Daiyubu finally won !!!!! i am very happy, even though he sank one of my "Hakkaku boys" even further into the depths of makushita.

Hoshihikari needs 2 more wins for a possible Sekitori promotion !!!! One can only hope untill the end (Blowing up furiously...)

[Asashosakari]

Jd21e Fujimori (2-3) yoritaoshi Jd23w Masumeidai (1-4)

Well, that was even quicker than I expected.

Masumeidai is a fiction created by the media, because of his "juicy" story. He doesn't even look like a rikishi. Crash and burn, out of sumo in a year.

Rib-eye.

Well, if we're having a Masumeidai sweepstakes here...first make-koshi in his Sandanme debut, will barely exceed Ichinoya's career-high rank eventually, intai in 2009 or 2010.

[Sanvean]

I might be only a casual sumo fan, but it seems to me that Shibuya stopped there in mid-makushita and has some problems getting regular KK. What's up with that Tamanoi "wonder child"?

[aderechelsea]

"too fat and too young" is my theory.

He could still bounce back though and go near the top of Makushita and aim for sekitorihood.

[Fukurou]

Ms19e  Dewaotori (2-3)	 yorikiri	   Ms23e  Tooyama (1-4)

Could Tooyama be following his Ozeki off of the doyho and into retirement?
