KYODO NEWS - 11 hours ago - 18:36 | Sports, AllGrand champion Kakuryu suffered his first loss of the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament on Thursday, falling behind undefeated co-leaders sekiwake Takakeisho and rank-and-filer Okinoumi on Day 5.
In the final bout of the day, Kakuryu latched onto Asanoyama's belt and attempted an underarm throw.
But the maegashira resisted and spun Kakuryu around, moving the off-balance yokozuna to the edge of the ring and over the straw.
Endo earned his fourth straight win after pushing out winless No.
2 Ichinojo (1-4) pulled out of the tournament with a right shoulder injury he suffered in his match with Kakuryu the previous day.
