Lone yokozuna Kakuryu maintained his pursuit of a sixth top-level title Wednesday by beating Endo on Day 4 of the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament.
The Mongolian pushed out the No. 2 maegashira in the final bout of the day at Ryogoku Kokugikan to improve to a perfect 4-0.
After shoving Endo (1-3) backward, Kakuryu yanked him off balance and drove him out from behind, getting the result in less elegant fashion than his previous wins at the 15-day tournament.
