Kyushu 2024 Record: 11-4; Fighting Spirit Prize
Takanosho has gone 12-3, 4-11, and 11-4 over his last three basho. That 11 wins at Kyushu belies his performance, as he was 10-1 after beating Onosato on Day Eleven. He then lost to Kirishima, Kotozakura, and Daieisho in succession to fall from yusho contention. He will likely struggle again in the joi-jin.
