Hakuho takes his turn with Endoh

Mar. 04 - M1 Endoh visited the Tokitsukaze-beya today again for de-geiko where he was greeted this time by Yokozuna Hakuho who also joined the de-geiko festivities. When it was time for Hakuho to step into the ring, he called out Endoh and fought the youngster 11 times winning each bout using an array of techniques including uwate-nage that sent Endoh down hard to the clay. After the session Endoh spoke with reporters commenting, "I'm worn out. He was so strong. I knew from the beginning that I wouldn't be able to do my brand of sumo against the Yokozuna, but each basho I'm trying to get stronger and do better sumo during keiko."  In the long run, the beatings at the hands of the top Mongolians will better prepare Endoh for combat among the jo'i ranks.
