From staff and wire reports
NAGOYA, Japan >> Each of the four leaders lost at the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament yesterday, allowing six others to join the pack.
Wakanoyama started the run of upsets by beating Kasuganishiki before Kaiho threw out early leader Tokitsuumi and Wakanosato slapped down Tosanoumi.
Musoyama had an opportunity to take sole possession of the lead but got caught in an underarm throw by Kyokutenho.
Struggling grand champion Musashimaru, Hawaii's Fiamalu Penitani, pulled out Friday.
