(Looking for a different day? Try the master list!)
Compiled from: NSK's postings for makuuchi, juryo, makushita, sandanme, jonidan and jonokuchi; NSK's absence list, NSK's tournament leader list and NSK's Day 1 program in Japanese.
There are 165 bouts listed on the schedule today. It's an odd-numbered day which means the east side is first on the schedule and first to get called.
1 of today's 165 bouts are fusensho or fusenpai because of kyujo rikishi. This may change over the course of the day!
This moderator-flavoured version of the schedule contains yobidashi who are not listed on the official schedule. Any yobidashi on the schedule prior to Soichi might not show up at all, or they might show up earlier or later. Reload this often if there is schedule chaos.
Yobidashi: Yuma.

We have the same shimpan as May 2022! Some of them are kyujo, however.
Members of this senior group join up with other shimpan groups to act as head shimpan after the juryo ring entrance ceremony & intermission.
If shimpan start to drop out like last basho, expect to see one or more of these folks: Hatachiyama (komusubi Tochinohana), Minato (maegashira 2 Minatofuji), Shiranui (komusubi Wakakoyu), Takadagawa (sekiwake Akinoshima) and senior Fujishima (ozeki Musoyama)
