Day 4 :    YOUNG TOSANOUMI UPSETS OZEKI MUSASHMARU !!
What a surprise basho!  Unbeaten ozeki Musashimaru lost today.
Musashimaru showed his powerful thrusting attack against no.1 maegashira
Tosanoumi.     Young Tosanoumi didn't escape from it and resisted it.
After that Tosanoumi got into and made a moro-zashi style(both inside
mawashi grip).    Finally Tosanoumi threw down big Musashimaru dynamicly!
Great sumo, Tosanoumi !

Yokozuna Akebono forced out Daishoho in a second!     Easy job.
Akebono have to showed his yokozuna performance in this basho, because
of Takanohana's withdrawal.    And this basho is a big chance to get
back a yusho cup.

Tall ozeki Takanonami showed his leg kagazu-gake trick against tall
Kotonowaka.   Kotonowaka took his advantage and Takanonami was defensive
as usual.   But Takanonami entwined his foot aroung Koto's leg and
made Koto off-balance.    Takanonami won!

Ozeki Wakanohana pushed out big Mitoizumi!   Mitoizumi coundn't grip
his favorite uwate mawashi grip.

Unbeaten sekiwake Takatoriki slapped down unbeaten komusubi Musoyama.
Musoyama showed his good tachiai against Takatoriki, but Takatoriki
stepped back and slapped Musoyama quickly.   Takatoriki still have
a big hope of ozeki promotion.

Unbeaten sekiwake Kaio, who is a Fukuoka boy, forced out Asahiyutaka!
Good sumo, Kaio!

The sumo pool bout : Akinoshima got a yorikiri victory against Kotoinazuma.

I'll post the tomorrow's full pairings(Day 5) soon.
