Haru Basho in 1999

Tosanoumi (Maegashira 2) and Ooikari (Juryo 5) got 8th wins on the last day (Senshu Raku). They got Kachi Koshi, but they need another Kachi Koshi in the next basho to become a San yaku or Makuuchi Rikishi, respectively. Kitakachidoki's (Juryo 2) record was very bad, 3-12.

Below Makushita, three rikishi's records were very good: Takinooto (Sandanme 6), Arakuma (Jonidan 62), and Fujikawa (Jonidan 125) got six wins and only one loss.

14th day: Tosanoumi defeat Mitoizumi by Oshidashi, resulting him 7-7. Ooikari's score was also 7-7. Their Kachi Koshi or Make Koshi depend on the last bouts.
13th day: Tosanoumi performed a good bout and defeated Tochiazuma. Kitakachidoki got 3rd wins. Takinooto (Sandanme) and Arakuma (Jonidan) lost their final bouts, resulting them both 6-1.
12th day: Tosanoumi was defeated by Kaio. Another loss makes him Make Koshi. Kitakachidoki got 10 losses!! Ooikari got 7th win. Another win makes him Kachi Koshi. Arauma (Makushita) was in Make Koshi, same result in the previous Basho. Takinooto (Sandanme) got 6 straight wins.
11th day: Tosanoumi got two strait wins for the first time in this Basho, bringing him 5-6. Ootsuna (Makushita) was tie, with 3-3. His last bout is very important. Arakuma (Jonidan) got another win, resulting 6-0. Another rikishi in Jonidan who got 6 consecutive wins are Kuniazuma from Brazil (Tamanoi Beya), Kim from Korea (Kasugayama Beya), and Yamamoto (Onomatsu Beya) who was an american football player at a university. They all are great wrestlers. I wish Arakuma gets another win and championship in Jonidan division.

One more loss makes him Makekoshi. Hikonoyama and Arakuma, both in Jonidan, got one more wins. They are candidates of tournament championship in Jonidan division.
8th day: Tosanoumi defeated Dejima by Uwate Nage. This was the first win from Dejima. Win by Uwate Nage is very rare for Tosanoumi. Takinooto (Sandanme), Hikonoyama and Arakuma (Jonidan) got another wins, so they got four conwecutive wins and no loss.
