Yokozuna Kisenosato displayed his confidence, beating Onosho at the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament on Monday for his first win since he returned to the raised ring after missing all or part of the past three meets.
Kisenosato improved to 1-1 on the second day of the 15-day meet at Fukuoka Kokusai Center, while fellow grand champion Harumafuji suffered a second straight defeat, losing to No. 1 maegashira Takakeisho.
In their first career bout, Kisenosato twisted Onosho down for his 700th win in the makuuchi division, which was also his first since the fourth day of the July tourney.
