September Basho 2026 — Bouts

DAY 2 REVIEW

Every man at the top won again. Onosato absorbed Kotoshoho's charge and drove forward for a push-out, correcting the pulling of day one for his first 2-0 start in four tournaments. Kirishima, chasing the rope, took both belt grips on new komusubi Hakunofuji and forced him down after more than a minute. Aonishiki forced out Takayasu, Kotozakura threw Yoshinofuji and Atamifuji, on an ozeki run, pushed out Minoumi, so the three ozeki and the sekiwake are all 2-0. New sekiwake Fujinokawa, by contrast, got both arms inside on Kotoeiho and was still turned and forced down for his first loss — Kotoeiho's first win. Both komusubi are 0-2 after Daieisho fell to Gonoyama's arm-pull and Hakunofuji lost to Kirishima. The brothers Asasuiryu and Asakoryu won again, as did Asanoyama, Takerufuji and Takanosho; fourteen makuuchi men are 2-0. In juryo, makushita-top Asahifuji stepped up to the sekitori ring and lost to Tochitaikai by overarm throw, his first defeat since his name appeared on a banzuke.
