In action Monday morning in Fukuoka, Texas sumotori Wakaichiro lost his first match of the Kyushu basho. As of this post, there is still no video of the match.  His opponent, Sandanme 85 Kotomyozan, won via oshitaoshi. Fans of Wakaichiro are encouraged to keep in mind that his entry into Sandanme marks a dramatic escalation in level of difficulty for his matches. We look forward to his next match which is scheduled for day 3 (Tuesday).

As always, we will post video of the match as soon as we can find any.
