On the 12th, the first day of the Grand Sumo Spring Tournament will be held, and Takakage Ozeki, who is aiming for a tug-of-war, will face Shoen, who has returned to Komusubi.
In the spring place, Yokozuna Terunofuji, who underwent surgery on both knees in October last year, was closed from the first day, and Takakeisho was the only person to participate in Ozeki or higher following the first place in January.
Takakeisho, who has won the first place for the third time and is aiming for the tsunatori at the spring tournament, will face Shoen, who has returned to komusubi for the first time in two places, on the first day.
In the past, Takakeisho's match record is 4 wins and 3 losses, and Takakeisho has lost in both of these two places.
As for Takakeisho, the point is whether he can decide the game in one go after sharply showing off in the tachiaiai.
On the other hand, Shoen has a chance to win if he can overcome Ozeki's push with his quick movements.
In addition, Kirimayama, a new sekiwake who has won 11 wins in the first place and aims to solidify his foothold for promotion to ozeki, is the best with Aen in the flat curtain.
In the past, Kirimayama has won 3 wins and 1 loss, and if he can put pressure on him without losing in the match, Kirimayama will have a chance, and if he can push and attack, Aen will have a chance.
In addition, there was also a match between Kinpuzan, who became the first makuuchi sumo wrestler from Kazakhstan, and Bushoyama, who is good at pushing sumo.
