The first tournament of the year 平成22 has kicked off in an auspicious and heavenly vibe by the surprise visit of the emperor and empress who received a standing ovation and warm welcomes from everyone at the Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan.
The first day was already full of surprises when the 2 小関 (Ozeki) 魁皇(Kaio) and 琴美喜(Kotomitsuki) both suffered defeats in the hands of 雅山(Miyabiyama) and 豪栄道(Goedo) while both 横綱(Yokozuna) picked up wins against 琴奨菊(Kotoshogiku) and 鶴竜(Kakuryu) respectively.
My pick of the day is the bout between 小関 日馬富士(Harumafuji) and 前頭 栃ノ心(Tochinoshin) where the light weight Ozeki gave the giant Maegashira a uchimuso (inner thigh propping twist down) winning technique.
Day 2 action will follow.
