NHK news just announced that Yokozuna Kisenosato will be absent from the basho as of day 5 of the basho. The official reason was not given, but it’s clear this is the result of losing four bouts in a row, which has not happened since 1931.

The Kyushu basho will now continue without a single Yokozuna, following the Nagoya basho, which fared the same.
