November Basho 2026 — Bouts

DAY 7 REVIEW

The lead is down to seven men at one loss. Yokozuna Onosato hit new komusubi Minoumi with both hands, got his right arm inside and forced him straight out, a sixth straight win since his opening-day loss. Hoshoryu drove Yoshinofuji back from a low tachiai with a right underarm grip and finished with a right outside leg trip and a left inner thigh sweep, a second straight win that puts him 4-3. Yoshinofuji takes a third loss. The ozeki split. Kirishima forced out Hakunofuji and Kotozakura pushed out Ura for 5-2, but Aonishiki was thrown down by west maegashira two Fujiseiun's overarm throw with Fujiseiun's left arm inside, a third loss. Fujiseiun, who beat Hoshoryu on day five, has now taken an ozeki too. Sekiwake Atamifuji steadied himself by seizing a left frontal grip on Fujiryoga at the tachiai and forcing him out chest to chest. Fujinokawa was pushed over by Asanoyama for a fifth loss. The seven at one loss are Onosato, Kirishima, Atamifuji, Wakamotoharu, Kinbozan, Asahakuryu and debutant Arashifuji; Kotozakura, Takanosho, Oshoma and Dewanoryu are two back. In juryo Wakatakakage forced out Mitakeumi, his senior from Toyo University, for 7-0, and Tamashoho slapped down Meisei to stay perfect alongside him. Asahifuji threw Ryuho with an armlock for 6-1. On day eight Kirishima meets Kotozakura in an ozeki clash, Onosato faces Takayasu, Hoshoryu takes on Hakunofuji, Atamifuji meets Fujiseiun and Aonishiki faces Fujinokawa.
