> New Sekiwake Meisei trained today at the heya. "I am going all out as usual. I feel I'm coming along well and hoping not to get injured.. " he said. After returning to Makuuchi last Aki basho, he is in the midst of a six basho consecutive kachikoshi run and is the first Sekiwake out of Tatsunami beya since Kitao (later Yokozuna Futahaguro the scandalous) in 1985. "I do want to win double digit wins, but first I need to get my kachikoshi. As for Ozeki aspirations, I'm very far from that at the moment power wise. I'm working to add more power at this rank and hopefully will be able to do my own sumo while aiming higher," he said.

> Formal charges have been filed against Takagenji today. In a search at his home, illegal substances were found in small quantities in a water pipe found on his table. He was thrown out from sumo in July for smoking weed. Juryo 9 west on the banzuke is empty because of this.
