The first sumo tournament will be on the 7th day, with ozeki Kirishima competing in a tug-of-war against Kitakatsufuji.
The first event was on the 6th day, the 19th, with yokozuna Terunofuji, who had just finished his break, and ozeki Kirishima, who was competing in a tug of war, winning each and maintaining their one-loss record.
On the 7th day, the 20th, Kirishima will play against Hiramaku's Kitakatsufuji.
In the past matches, Kirishima has won 4 wins and 2 losses, but in the past year, he has 1 win and 1 loss.
Kirishima has calmly carried on his own sumo wrestling and has been racking up wins, and he would like to pull the strings on the 20th and take the sumo to the front.
The key is to be able to attack Hokukatsufuji strongly in a standing position and not give Kirishima a chance to make a move.
Terunofuji will face Shodai, an experienced ozeki who has won 11 wins and 8 losses in past matches.
Terunofuji's advantage will not be shaken easily if it is a four-way combination.
On the other hand, Shodai may have a chance if he can use his natural horsepower to come forward and break Yokozuna's position.
In addition, Sekiwake Kotonowaka, who lost on the 19th and has one loss, will play against Ryuden of Hiramaku, and Asanoyama, the only remaining winner in Makuuchi, will play against Akio.
