The Jungyo arrived at  Kasama City, Ibaraki Prefecture today. Makuuchi
newcomer Fujiryouga had his first keiko session with Yokozuna Houshouryuu.
After facing Ura, Houshouryuu chose Fujiryouga to practice with him. In the
first bout, he was pushed out, and then thrown with an underarm throw. In
the last bout, he was lifted up by the Yokozuna's massive body and slammed
to the ground. "I think this is the first time in my life I've been lifted
up like this. I weigh 180 kg, so I shouldn't be lifted up so easily. I was
really surprised," he said, looking surprised. On the other hand, he
expressed his gratitude for being chosen by the Yokozuna, saying, "Watching
him practice up close was scary, but he's also really cool. He's at the
very top of the sumo world. It was a very significant experience."
