Yokozuna Kisenosato made it six out of six and remained one of the three unbeaten wrestlers at the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament on Friday, when Mongolian yokozuna Kakuryu suffered his second loss at Edion Arena Osaka.
Kisenosato continued his solid form as he left no room for Takarafuji to counter, the new yokozuna latching onto the No. 3 maegashira's belt with his right arm with ease and forcing out the tenacious opponent. Both grapplers came into the bout with 5-0 records.
In the day's final match, Kakuryu (4-2) suffered his first defeat against Shohozan in their 12th bout.
