The summer jungyo took place in Fukushima City yesterday.
Makuuchi Asakouryuu joined the jungyo after withdrawing midway due to back
pain. He had nine matches and nodded, saying, "The jungyo was worth it, as
I was able to wrestle with so many different people." Last basho, he won
six matches at Maegashira 12. "I want to train hard and aim for a
kachikoshi next basho," he said with enthusiasm. Regarding his younger
brother, Ishizaki, now known as Asasuiryuu, being promoted to Juryo, he
frankly commented, "Rather than talking about my younger brother, I'm happy
that Asanoyama, Asahakuryuu and he were all promoted. It feels like my
younger brother is one of them." He will continue to lead the prestigious
Takasago heya as the heya-gashira (highest ranked at his heya).
