Kotozakura trains

[Moti Dichne]

The jungyo arrived on the 26th at Wing Arena Kariya in Kariya City, Aichi Prefecture. Ozeki Kotozakura had eight consecutive matches against Ouhou in preparation for the imminent basho. "I just did what I could," he calmly reflected. The 26-day summer jungyo is nearing its final stages. This jungyo is grueling in terms of travel, but Kotozakura said, "I've done what I needed to do. However, there's only so much I can do. I'm doing my best within that." He was 8-7  in the last three consecutive tournaments since Haru and is steadily working his way towards a comeback in Aki.
