The numbering of the first place of sumo wrestling, which will be the first day of the event, was announced on the 9th of next month.

The numbering of the first place was announced on the 24th, and two people, Wang Peng of the Otake stable and Wakamotoharu of the Arashio stable, were newly promoted to the Makuuchi.




The 21-year-old Wang Peng is the grandson of the Showa Oyokozuna Taiho, who won 32 times, and stepped on the first ring at the beginning of 2018.



At the Kyushu place last month, he won 11 wins with the 7th Juryo, and became the 18th front in the ranking of the first place, and made a new start.



In addition, Wakamotoharu, who won 11 wins at the top of the Juryo in Kyushu, was promoted to Makuuchi with the 15th front.



His younger brother Wakatakakage is also a wrestler in Makuuchi, and the birth of a wrestler in Makuuchi as a brother is the 12th group in history.



At Sekiwake in the east and west, Mitakeumi and Takanosho, who both won 11 wins in Kyushu, sat.




Mitakeumi in the eastern Sekiwake is Sekiwake in four consecutive places, and it will be interesting to see if the success of the first place can increase the momentum for promotion to Ozeki.



On the other hand, Takanosho Nobuyuki in the west won the fighting award at the Kyushu place and returned to Sekiwake for the first time in four places.



In addition, Ichiyamamoto and Kensho have returned to Makuuchi for the first time in two places.



The first place of sumo wrestling will be on the 9th of next month at the Kokugikan in Ryogoku, Tokyo.
