November Basho 2026 — Bouts

DAY 6 REVIEW

Nobody is unbeaten any more. Sekiwake Atamifuji let Asanoyama take a left frontal grip at the tachiai and, with his right arm cramped, was forced out for his first loss. Asanoyama ended a four-bout losing run. Both yokozuna won. Onosato pushed over Hakunofuji, who kept hunting for a left inside grip, with a right-arm clamp, a fifth straight win since his opening-day loss. Hoshoryu got both arms inside against Takayasu and forced him out, ending a three-bout slide to go 3-3. The ozeki split. Kirishima forced down Fujiryoga and Aonishiki threw Minoumi with an overarm throw, while Kotozakura lost a second bout when komusubi Yoshinofuji countered his underarm throw at the edge with an overarm throw of his own, a first win for Yoshinofuji over Kotozakura at the seventh attempt. Fujinokawa pushed out Ura for a second win and Fujiseiun threw Takerufuji. Tamawashi was pushed out by Kitanowaka for a third loss. Nine men are one win back: Onosato, Kirishima, Atamifuji, Wakamotoharu, Kinbozan, Takanosho, Asahakuryu, Dewanoryu and Arashifuji. In juryo Wakatakakage thrust down Hitoshi for 6-0, and Tamashoho pushed out Tomokaze to stay perfect as well. Asahifuji threw Sadanoumi for 5-1. On day seven Hoshoryu meets Yoshinofuji, Onosato faces Minoumi, Atamifuji takes on Fujiryoga and Kotozakura meets Ura.
