In the course of our live blogging spectacular overnight, we started our evening with news that Wakaichiro prevailed in his day 8 match, boosting his tournament record to a respectable 3-1. Fans have noticed that Wakakichro always seems to fight better in Tokyo, which is an interesting oddity. He is now one win away from hi kachi-koshi, which would keep him perfectly alighted to his pattern of winning in Tokyo, losing on the road.

Sadly at the moment, we don’t have any video to share of his win, but hopefully it will crop up in the boundless fountain that is the internet at some point.
