The May 2026 Grand Sumo Tournament (Natsu Basho) delivered another day of intense competition, with several top-rank wrestlers facing crucial matches. In the Makuuchi division, Yokozuna Hoshoryu started the day with a surprising 0-1 record after losing to Fujinokawa (1-0). Ozeki Kirishima bounced back with a 1-0 victory over Yoshinofuji (1-0), while fellow Ozeki Kotozakura fell to 0-1 after losing to Wakakatake (1-0). Komusubi Takakeisho? No—actually the results show East Komusubi Takayasu? Wait, let’s list accurately from the table.
The table shows the following Makuuchi results (East vs West, with winning technique):
– East Yokozuna: Hoshoryu 0-1 (loss to Fujinokawa 1-0)
– East Ozeki: Kirishima 1-0 (win over Yoshinofuji 1-0)
– East Ozeki: Kotozakura 0-1 (loss to Wakakatake 1-0)
– West Maegashira #1: Takakeisho? Actually it says East Komusubi? Let’s parse: East Komusubi is missing? The table shows “東関脇” (East Sekiwake) and “西関脇” (West Sekiwake). East Sekiwake Atamifuji 0-1 (lost to Hiradumi? Actually it shows “熱海富士 0勝1敗 取組前 平戸海 0勝1敗” meaning no bout yet? Wait “取組前” means before the match. So some matches haven’t been held? The table seems to indicate scheduled bouts. The “取組前” suggests these are upcoming matches, not results. The listed ones with “決まり手” (winning technique) are finished
