Kitanowaka vs Kagayaki
Kitanowaka beat Kagayaki by oshitaoshi in the regular bout, leaving both at 11–4.
Kayo also finished 11–4, creating a three-way playoff. Kitanowaka then beat Kagayaki by tsukiotoshi and Kayo by hatakikomi in succession to win the juryo championship.
Kitanowaka won three bouts on the final day when the two playoff wins are included. His tournament record remains 11–4 because playoff wins are not added to the regular-bout total.
Tamawashi vs Kayo
Kayo beat Tamawashi by hikiotoshi and finished 11–4. Tamawashi finished 10–5.
Kayo joined Kitanowaka and Kagayaki in the three-way championship playoff. Kitanowaka won that playoff, so winning this regular bout did not by itself make Kayo champion.
Read the regular-bout result and playoff result separately. The first establishes the 11–4 tie; the additional contests decide which of the tied wrestlers takes the title.
Enho vs Kyokukaiyu
Kyokukaiyu beat Enho by yorikiri to secure an 8–7 winning record. Enho finished 7–8.
Both entered the final day at 7–7. Away from the championship race, their last scheduled bout therefore decided a winning record for one and a losing record for the other.
The official profiles checked for the original guide listed Enho at 167cm and 107kg, and Kyokukaiyu at 183cm and 165kg. The size difference is background for viewing, not evidence of the precise grips or footwork used in this bout.
