In day 5 action, Wakaichiro lost his match to Kaiseijo. The bout got off to a fast start, with Kaiseijo driving hard to move inside against Wakaichiro’s somewhat high tachiai. In the oshi-fest that followed, Wakaichiro got turned around, and Kaiseijo moved him out. Kaiseijo did a good job, and kept his hips low, constantly moving forward.

This was a rematch between the two young rikishi, and I am sure it bothers Wakaichiro that his record against Kaiseijo is now 0-2. With the loss, Wakaichiro goes to a respectable 2-1 for Haru. His next match is not yet published on the fight schedule.
