November Basho 2026 — Bouts

DAY 5 REVIEW

Atamifuji is still the only unbeaten man. In the sekiwake clash he calmly caught Fujinokawa's leg-grab attempt and forced him down for 5-0. The yokozuna remain on opposite paths. Onosato slapped down a low-charging Ura for a fourth straight win, while Hoshoryu was forced out by Fujiseiun, a first meeting, in a right-hand grip battle, a third straight loss and a third straight gold star conceded. It was Fujiseiun's first gold star. Hoshoryu's stablemaster Tatsunami said the yokozuna will fight Takayasu on day six. All three ozeki won: Kirishima forced out Asanoyama and Kotozakura forced out Takayasu, both 4-1, and Aonishiki threw down Hakunofuji for 3-2. Asanoyama has lost four straight and is 1-4. In the komusubi bout Yoshinofuji forced out Minoumi for a third win. Fujiryoga forced down Takerufuji for 4-1. Eleven men sit one win back: Onosato, Kirishima, Kotozakura, Fujiryoga, Takanosho, Wakamotoharu, Kinbozan, Oshoma, Asahakuryu, Dewanoryu and Arashifuji. In juryo Wakatakakage pushed out Kayo for 5-0, and Tamashoho forced down Hatsuyama to stay 5-0 as well. Asahifuji pushed out Tomokaze for 4-1 and Ryuho thrust down Tokifudo for a fourth win. Hitoshi, out since day two, returned and was forced out by Ryuden. On day six Hoshoryu meets Takayasu, Onosato faces Hakunofuji, Kirishima takes on Fujiryoga and Atamifuji meets Asanoyama.
