Day15
J7 Takerufuji 7-7 (L)
J2 Asahakuryū 10-4 (R)
Takefuji fights hard for that all important KK! Takeru had a shock yūshō in makuuchi and no luck (injuries) since then. Asahakuryū won the jūryō yūshō last time and is already double digits. We will be seeing more of him #kyushubasho2025

Takerufuji still has a chance to win the tournament mathematically but he lost tonight and appears to have sustained an injury. He was taken away in an ambulance. It's unsure if he will be able to perform tomorrow.

Hoshoryu looked wobbly for a sec but he picks up Takerufuji by the belt and forces him out.
Kinbozan (12-2), Hoshoryu and Oho (both 11-3) are the yusho contenders heading into tomorrow’s finale.

For his Day 9 White Star vs Takerufuji, Kirishima sacrificed his face to buffer his fall. In close call situations, a good rikishi will withdraw his hands and arms even if his pretty face is nearest the clay.
As a consequence, Kirishima's right cheek was heavily bandaged on Day 10 vs Kotozakura.

hoping for the best.
On October 25, Takerufuji and his Isegahama stablemates looked good and had fun coaching local kids at a training session at the Shin-Yokohama Park Sumo Stadium where a new sumo ring was recently constructed by way of a donation from former Yokozuna Terunofuji.

Awesome to see Atamifuji continue getting wins over people he's never beaten before.
Nishikigi has been in retreat mode since beating Terunofuji on day 1 & doesn't look like himself.
Thank you Kotonowaka for finally beating Abi!!!
Wild to see Takerufuji & Onosato atop the leader board on Day 6!
