Maegashira 9W Fujinokawa went to Arashio beya for degeiko. He had 12 bouts
in all, including victories over Sekiwake Kirishima  and  Wakamotoharu, for
a record of 5 wins and 7 losses. He even fought seven bouts in a row with
Kirishima, commenting, "Because we fought consecutively, I felt like I had
more bouts. I ran out of stamina towards the end. Kirishima has different
stamina.." He seemed to have experienced firsthand the power of Kirishima,
who trains hardest before a basho, compared to other Makuuchi rikishi. As a
newcomer to Makuuchi, he won 10 matches in the last tournament, earning him
the Fighting Spirit Prize. On the Aki banzuke, he rose to Maegashira 9W. At
the Tokitsukaze Ichimon rengo keiko scheduled for the 8th, his rise in
ranking will likely see that he will have more opportunities to beat other
rikishi, but he joked, "I think I may be getting the special "love
treatment (extreme butsugari special treatment)" again, so I'd like to
exist quietly in the shadows."
