Yokozuna Houshouryuu who has fallen to a 2–3 record following three
consecutive losses—will compete on Day 6, his Oyakata Tatsunami confirmed
to reporters in Fukuoka. The Oyakata stated that he had spoken with him by
phone, noting, "He said he didn't want to run away, and asked to be allowed
to compete tomorrow (Day 6)." Houshouryuu is returning to the dohyo this
tournament after sitting out the previous three. While still dealing with
concerns regarding his right knee for which he underwent surgery in July,
he has struggled on the dohyo, conceding a kinboshi for the third day in a
row in today’s bout against Fujiseiun. Tatsunami remarked, "I told him that
if he’s going to put in a lackluster performance, that simply won't do.
It’s disrespectful to the spectators, and as a Yokozuna, he has a
responsibility he must shoulder."
