Ryu Mito, an experienced makuuchi player and native of Mongolia, won his second championship on the 24th of Chiakiraku in the Grand Sumo Spring Tournament. Ryu Mito faced 37-year-old Aoyama, who has experience in san'yaku, and although he was unable to form his favorite four-way formation, he continued to press forward and attack, and won by "pushing out" Tochimaru, who won the championship match in the Jo Nidan ranking, took 11 years from his first dohyo to his powerful pushing sumo wrestling, and was promoted to the new juryo two years ago.
