September Tournament

The July tournament ended with Yokozuna Terunofuji taking the championship. However, the Ozeki didn't perform well; kadoban Takakeisho had a losing record and will be demoted to Sekiwake next tournament. Hoshoryu withdrew midway, and Kotozakura fell short of his first championship. In the studio, we'll take a close look back at Terunofuji's 10th championship win. Sumopedia highlights sumo records by the numbers, including Tamawashi's new consecutive appearance record set on Day 3 of the September tournament. Our featured rikishi is Oho, grandson of the legendary Yokozuna Taiho. With 9 wins in the July tournament, we'll ask Oho about the challenges he's facing and his goals for the future.
