Egyptian maegashira Osunaarashi remained one of three wrestlers with perfect records on Friday, the sixth day of the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament.

Osunaarashi, sumo's first wrestler from Africa, was joined at the top of the leaderboard by the Mongolian yokozuna duo of Harumafuji and Hakuho. Six other wrestlers are in the thick of it with 5-1 records at Bodymaker Colosseum, including the ozeki duo of Kakuryu and Kotoshogiku.

Hakuho, who is seeking his second consecutive championship, had little trouble sending Tochinowaka flying out of the ring to a fourth defeat.
