Hakuho now has a 17-1 record against Okinoumi.In the last two matchups both between a Mongolian yokozuna and a komusubi, Kakuryu chased Mitakeumi around and off the dohyo while Harumafuji suffered a stunning defeat to Tamawashi and his powerful thrusts."I was just thinking about going forward. It was good," said Tamawashi, who returned to the fourth-highest rank of komusubi for the first time in 10 tourneys. "I hope to post a winning record here as I've always done so at a Kyushu basho."Two other ozeki also started the 15-day meet with wins, with Kisenosato edging out top-ranked maegashira Aoiyama and Kotoshogiku needing only seconds to dispose of No. 2 maegashira Kaisei.But Mongolian ozeki Terunofuji, who may be demoted if he performs poorly here as he finished the last tourney in September with a 4-11 record, fell to the tiny second-ranked maegashira Yoshikaze.Yoshikaze, standing 176 centimeters tall, grabbed the 192-cm Terunofuji by the mawashi and literally lifted him over the ring's edge.Sekiwake Takayasu, who has a chance of promotion to ozeki if he can get 12 wins at Kyushu, defeated No. 3 maegashira Endo with commanding shoves. Takayasu is set to meet Goeido on Monday.In other bouts, No. 3 maegashira Shodai, who hails from Kyushu main island's Kumamoto Prefecture which is recovering after being hit by powerful earthquakes this spring, marched fourth-ranked Kotoyuki off the ring.Swami</blockquote>
