The 2026 May Grand Sumo Tournament is all wrapped up in Tokyo, Japan. Komusubi Wakatakakage captured his second career championship, beating ozeki Kirishima in their playoff match in a tournament filled with injuries to big names, including Hoshoryu, Onosato and Aonishiki. Plus, I went to Japan and watch Days 11 and 15 of the Natsu basho live from the Ryogoku Kokugikan. Here's a recap at how the makuuchi division unfolded, what my new sumo power rankings are, a look at who could be moving down to juryo and who could be promoted to replace them, and my experience watching the Grand Sumo Tournament live and in person. 🔗 Visit my website: https://www.sumojojo.com 🎵 Music: "Overdrive" by Corbyn Kites 🎵 Music: "Stars and Constellations" by Sarah, The Illstrumentalist #sumo #grandsumo #sumowrestling #natsubasho2026 #natsubasho
