[Moti Dichne]

New Yokozuna Houshouryuu trained today with rikishi from other heya for the first time since arriving in Osaka for Haru Basho, at his Tatsunami beya. He had 19 bouts with three makuuchi wrestlers, Meisei, Oushouma and Takanoshou, winning 15 of them. He worked up a good sweat, checking his movements with quick attacks and head-on sumo, and commented, "It's as usual. My body could do with a bit more training." He also trained with a support on his right elbow. He revealed that he had hurt himself on the final day of the previous tournament and said, "I think I'm fine." Oushouma made efforts to avoid being caught on the belt, and went 3-5 against Houshouryuu, saying, "I was able to train well, and was happy to be able to borrow his chest.."
