The Musashigawa Stable had its string of six tournament championships snapped in March, but returns with a yokozuna and two ozeki for next month's summer tourney, according to the rankings released Monday by the Japan Sumo Association.
Newly promoted ozeki Musoyama joins yokozuna Musashimaru and ozeki Dejima in the elite ranks for the May 7-21 Summer Grand Sumo Tournament at Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan, with sekiwake Miyabiyama poised to give the Musashigawa Stable a third ozeki.
Yokozuna Akebono, 12-3 in the Osaka spring tourney, takes over the grand champion's top position on the East side of the ring, while rival Takanohana is top-rated on the West side.
