The Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament concluded today with a three-way tie for the championship. Leading contender Anosekine suffered a loss to Kaito, creating the deadlock. Following this match, Hishima secured a victory against Kotoyuki, resulting in all three wrestlers—Anosekine, Kaito, and Hishima—achieving a record of 12 wins and 3 losses. A special three-man playoff, known as a “tomoé-sen,” will now determine the tournament winner. This marks the first time a three-man playoff has been necessary since the beginning of last year. The wrestlers will draw lots to establish the order of matches, and the first wrestler to win two consecutive bouts will claim the championship.
