Nagoya Grand Sumo tournament: several wrestlers near double‑digit victories
On the 14th day of the Nagoya Grand Sumo tournament (July 25) Ozeki Ōnosato secured his first kachikoshi of the meet by defeating Ozeki Kotosakura, marking a delayed but crucial winning record. Sekiwake Atami Fuji also recorded his 11th victory, keeping a two‑win lead over Sekiwake An‑aokibi and drawing praise and criticism from his former‑ozeki coach. Former ozeki Asanoyama, after a resilient win over Ōkyōbō, moved within striking distance of a double‑digit win tally, citing fan encouragement. Other top‑division wrestlers such as Enho and Kagay each reached seven wins, while former jūryō Ikuta‑me suffered his first loss, putting seven competitors into the title‑deciding race. A separate story from the same broadcast highlighted sumo comedian Akatsu, whose pronounced sunburn from outdoor filming sparked a wave of online comments describing the look as “uniquely roasted.”
