If I remember correctly from this morning, Akebono, Musashimaru,
Kotonishiki and Akinoshima all lost on day 12.  Only Takanohana, Takanonami
and Takatoriki (all from Fujishima stable) remain at the head of bunch with
10-2 record.

Winner          Kimarite        Loser

Oginishiki      Okuridashi      Akebono
(Akebono saw Ogi at the edge of dohyo and thought he needed only a push to
win, but he pushed only the air and carry himself out of dohyo with Ogi at
his back.)

Takanohana      ?               Kasugafuji

Takanonami      Kotenage?       Kotonishiki
(It was a close call and the gyoji thought Kotonishiki was a winner with
Shitatenage on a rim of dohyo.  Video showed that Kotonishiki hit the dirt
first, and Takanonami got a winning call with gyoji's sashichigae.)

Kyokudozan      ?               Musashimaru
Kaio            Uwatedashinage? Akinoshima
Takatoriki      ?               Terao
