Musashigawa’s USA born rikishi, Wakaichiro, lost to Kenshin from Sakaigawa beya in a brief match that was all pushing and thrusting. Wakaichiro is in his first tournament, where Kenshin has been ranked as high as Sandanme (2 divisions higher) in the past, but missed several tournaments.

This brings Wakaichiro to 3-3 for the tournament, with one bout remaining. Kachi-koshi is still in reach.
