In addition, Takafuji, a 24-year-old newcomer to the makuuchi who was the only one in the makuuchi who had never won, faced off against Ryuden, an experienced Sanyaku wrestler, and from a sharp step, he teamed up in a left-four position and attacked without rest until the edge of the ring.



In the end, they won with a "push" and won eight straight games from the first day to advance.



This is the first time since the summer tournament of 1945, when the 15-day tournament system was established, that a newly entered sumo wrestler stands alone at the top after the 8th day.



Furthermore, this is the sixth time since the introduction of the 1-place 15-day tournament system that a new wrestler has won a match against Chunichi.



23-year-old Onosato, who is competing in the second place in Makuuchi, defeated Tamawashi, 39 years old, the oldest in Makuuchi, by ``Oshidashi'' and achieved his 7th win.



The ozeki team, with the exception of Kotonowaka, has two losses, with Shoryu Toyo in the current position, Takashi who defeated a yokozuna and an ozeki, and Takakeisho with Ozeki who won his first gold star on the fifth day. Won.
