TOKYO (UPI) - Yokozuna Tochinishiki stopped tall Komusubi Kashiwado's drive and then defeated him with an arm throw to register his 10th straight win Tuesday in the 15-day sumo tournament.
    Taiho, 13th ranking maegashira, who is competing for the first time in the Makuuchi or top division, kept pace with Tochinishiki by winning his 10th bout. He sent more than 10,000 fans at the Kokugikan Arena into a frenzy as he whirled first-ranking maegashira Tochihikari out of the ring.
    Yokozuna Asashio, competing for the first time in four tournaments, made good his comeback attempt by winning his eighth bout.
    Ozeki Wakahaguro, winner of the Fukuoka tournament last November, suffered his fourth defeat against six wins. First-ranking maegashira Ohikari defeated him after the judges had overruled the referee's decision in Wakahaguro's favor and ordered the two wrestlers to fight over.
