The Sumo Spring Tournament is on the 8th day of Chunichi, and new ozeki Kotonowaka will face sekiwake Wakamotoharu in the first round of knots.
At the end of the 7th day of the spring tournament, Takafuji, a 24-year-old new entrant, was the only one, standing alone at the top with seven consecutive wins from the first day, including 23-year-old Onosato with one loss and Kotonowaka with two losses. The three ozeki and others are following suit.
On the 17th, the 8th day of Chunichi, Kotonowaka was set to face Wakamotoharu in a match between two losers.
Kotonowaka is good at sumo wrestling with the right four, and Wakamotoharu is good with the left four, so in the so-called four fights, his past match record is against Kotonowaka with 5 wins and 4 losses, but in the past year Kotonowaka is losing with 1 win and 4 losses.
As Kotonowaka, I would like to make use of the attack and push techniques I have honed, and attack at once before my opponent gets into his favorite form.
Wakamotoharu, on the other hand, has a chance of winning if he can insert his left hand while holding back Kotonowaka's pressure.
In addition to the other Ozeki teams with two losses, Shoryu Toyo will face Takashi, who defeated Yokozuna and Ozeki two days in a row, and Takakeisho will face 24-year-old Wang Peng, who won his first gold star at this place.
In addition, Takafuji, the sole leader, will face 33-year-old Ryuden for the win.
Takafuji is currently racking up wins by attacking with sharp stances, one-shot pushes, and four-way sumo wrestling, and the key point is whether he can show off his strengths against Ryuden, who is known for his tenacious sumo wrestling.
