Day 6: Fujiseiun Follows His Kinboshi by Throwing Takerufuji, Fields About 70 Congratulations
West Maegashira 2 Fujiseiun, 28 (Fujishima), threw East Maegashira 4 Takerufuji, 27 (Isegahama), with an uwatenage on Day 6, a day after beating Hoshoryu for his first kinboshi. 'I had lost three in a row, so I think the momentum has changed,' he said. Asked about the reaction to the kinboshi, he smiled: 'I got so many messages, I was really happy. About 70. I haven't been able to reply to all of them yet.' He has watched the bout several times: 'Beating a yokozuna gave me confidence.' But 'there are still plenty of strong people, so I want to go one bout a day' (Nikkan Sports).
