The autumn tour of sumo was held in Sagamihara City on the 2nd, and ozeki Toyoshoryu showed his dignity by winning all 8 matches against Komusubi Hiradoumi and others during morning practice. “It feels good. I want to keep practicing hard,” he said, showing his enthusiasm for coming back from the Autumn Tournament, where he narrowly won against Chiakiraku.

After taking No. 3 each with Nishikigi and Komusubi Daieisho, he picked Kai Hirado, who was on the rise, and won two consecutive games. He dominated with intense sumo wrestling and said with a satisfied expression, “I’m not in bad physical condition.” He has maintained the weight he has gained by 7 kg since May even after the Autumn Championships, and says with confidence, “I hope I can get used to my current weight. Maybe a little more.”

Onosato, who is one year younger, will be promoted to ozeki, and the Kyushu tournament (first day November 10th, Fukuoka International Center) will be the third ozeki with Kotozakura. “Sumo is an individual tournament, not a team tournament, so I only think about myself. I want to do my best,” he said, emphasizing his composure.
