Tanukiyama takes on Hippomaru at the Kokugikan, home of sumo! Fiery new sekiwake Tanukiyama has switched from his usual oshizumo to take on cool-headed maegashira 3 Hippomaru. He's holding back Hippomaru's attempt to grab his mawashi, with Hippomaru's right arm pinned fast in an otsuke grip. The gyouji Kimura Butaiki urges the rikishi on with "Nokotta-nokotta-nokotta!" - even when it looks like Hippomaru's got nowhere to go but out, Tanukiyama knows he must keep applying the pressure on this giant until he's safely out of the dohyo. Gambare!
