Aki 2024 Record: 12-3; Jun-Yusho
After getting dropped from the Ozeki ranks while battling injuries, Kirishima has returned to his Ozeki form. With Onosato's performance, he only got a Jun-Yusho with 12 wins. He also will need to get double-digit wins in the next two tournaments to make it back to Ozeki. So maybe he won't win another yusho or get a second Ozeki promotion, but a healthy Kirishima is a bona fide yusho contender still.
