ex- Ozeki Asanoyama who is ranked at M10E, participated in asageiko at his
heya on the 5th. He did not participate in the sumo bouts with  Asakouryuu,
Asahakuryuu, and Juryo  Asasuiryuu, but instead concentrated on the
fundamentals such as shiko and suriashi. Towards the end of the session, he
offered his chest for some butsugari, and revealed, "I was doing sumo until
yesterday. I felt some physical fatigue, maybe I was overworked. I'll be
carefully monitoring my physical condition. I have keiko tomorrow and the
day after, so I want to concentrate again." He finished Haru Basho with an
8-7 record, but reflected, "I couldn't get too many wins." Although he has
achieved kachikoshi in two consecutive tournaments since returning to
Makuuchi, he has ended both tournaments with three consecutive losses
starting from day 13. "Kachikoshi is important, but things have been going
badly after that. I want to have good keiko sessions and be well-prepared
for the first day," he said.
