Tokyo, Kuramae Kokugikan
Toryu and Mitsuruyama may end up with an average win-loss record, but they put on a very entertaining match as the Hatsu passes into the second half of the tournament. Both men could have walked away with a 4-4 record but the favourite just did enough to earn it. Both Asashio and Takanosato lost more ground on the front-runners, falling back to 5-3 with two losses in their last three bouts.

DOHYO-IRI
The ring-entering ceremony is performed by all competitors in the Makuuchi and Juryo divisions at the start of each day. Filing in after the referee according to their rank, lowest first up to highest, the participants conduct a set of rituals involving clapping, stomping and the raising of arms; the last of which is to show they are not armed.
