Yokozuna Houshouryuu revealed that he had dislocated his right index finger
in the senshuraku match against Oonosato, whom he beat on that final day of
Aki basho. On the 4th, he participated in the danpatsushiki of Minatogawa
Oyakata (former Ozeki Takakeishou),at the Kokugikan. At the hair-cutting
ceremony, he used the scissors, and then took part in the dohyo-iri and
bout. Afterwards, in an interview, he revealed, "On the final day, various
things happened - I dislocated my right index finger, and fought
the playoff bout." In the main bout, he defeated Oonosato, who he was
trailing by one win, but he was not at his best for the playoff match,
where he was tied with Oonosato at 13 wins and 2 losses. He aimed to make a
comeback and win his first yusho as a Yokozuna and his third overall, but
fell short. After the bout, he did not respond to interviews and left.
Yesterday, he addressed Minatogawa Oyakata at the danpatsushiki, , saying,
"I hope he continues to do his best in the future," expressing his
expectations. When Minatogawa was still active, they faced each other 11
times, with Minatogawa winning 8 and losing 3. "I felt he was my nemesis,"
he said, recalling that Minatogawa was an opponent he didn't want to lose
to.
