What to watch on day 15

Picked by rules, without this day's results. Some reasons use how the tournament is going.

  1. Tokitsuumi vs Aminishiki
    Tokitsuumi and Aminishiki are both 7-7: one secures kachi-koshi and the other ends with make-koshi.
  2. Kotonowaka vs Futeno
    Kotonowaka and Futeno are both 7-7: one secures kachi-koshi and the other ends with make-koshi.
  3. Asashoryu vs Chiyotaikai
    Yokozuna Asashoryu against ōzeki Chiyotaikai: the very top of the banzuke.
  4. Musoyama vs Kaio
    Ōzeki against ōzeki: Musoyama vs Kaio.
  5. Hakuho vs Hokutoriki
    Hokutoriki leads the tournament at 13-1: a slip would tighten the yūshō race.
