Ozeki Kaio will be aiming for promotion to the top rank of yokozuna when the 15-day Summer Grand Sumo Tournament gets under way at Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan on Sunday. But a number of other wrestlers in sumo's premier division will also be seeking personal milestones when they step onto the raised ring.
Total appearances
Former komusubi Daizen, 36, will have his 1,300th fight on day four. The No. 14 maegashira will then rank fourth behind active wrestlers Terao, Akinoshima and Takatoriki for most bout appearances.
