Onosato defeated ozeki Aonishiki, who matched his win count, securing his sixth championship. The championship tally stood at 12 wins and 3 losses for Onosato. Injured at the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament in November of the previous year, he had missed the entire Summer Grand Sumo Tournament in May of the current year. Despite his shoulder injury, Onosato demonstrated the spirit of a yokozuna and staged a remarkable comeback, winning his first championship in six tournaments.
