In their regularly scheduled Day 15 match, Kotonowaka won against [[Tobizaru Masaya|Tobizaru]] to eliminate ''ōzeki'' and ''yokozuna'' contender [[Kirishima Tetsuo|Kirishima]] from the title picture. Terunofuji then dispatched Kirishima (11–4) to notch his 11th win in 11 matches against his fellow Mongolian.

New ''makuuchi'' competitor [[Ōnosato Daiki|Ōnosato]] (11–4) receives the ''Kantō-shō'' (Fighting Spirit prize), and Kotonowaka receives the ''Ginō-shō'' for using a variety of winning [[kimarite|sumo techniques]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202401280000352.html|title=三賞は若元春、大の里、琴ノ若で決定、島津海は敗れて新入幕三賞を逃す|date=28 January 2024|publisher=Nikkan Sports|access-date=28 January 2024|lang=ja}}</ref><br/>While Kotonowaka lost out on the ''makuuchi'' championship, the win in his scheduled Day 15 match gave him a total of 33 wins in the last three tournaments at the ''san'yaku'' ranks, which is the ''de facto'' standard to earn promotion to sumo's second-highest rank of ''ōzeki''. The promotion is expected to be finalized on 31 January; coincidentally, it is Kotonowaka's father Sadogatake (former [[Kotonowaka Terumasa]]) who makes the formal promotion recommendation to the Sumo Association as head of the judging department. It is also expected that the new ''ōzeki'' will keep his ''[[shikona]]'' (ring name) for a while to honor his father, whose highest rank in competition was ''sekiwake'', before adopting the name of his late ''yokozuna'' grandfather [[Kotozakura Masakatsu I|Kotozakura]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202401280000985.html|title=琴ノ若の大関昇進が事実上決定　昇進目安の直近３場所33勝到達　初Ｖまでしこ名は変えず|date=28 January 2024|publisher=Nikkan Sports|access-date=28 January 2024|lang=ja}}</ref>

His last competition in the top division was in March 2023 at ''sekiwake'', when a late [[Anterior cruciate ligament|ACL]] and [[Meniscus (anatomy)|meniscus]] injury forced him to withdraw; he subsequently dropped down the rankings until his return in November. Another wrestler returning to ''sekitori'' status is 20-year-old former ''maegashira'' [[Hakuōhō Tetsuya|Hakuōhō]], who challenged for the top-division championship in only his fourth professional tournament in July 2023 before taking off the remainder of the year due to a shoulder injury. In his return tournament in January, Hakuōhō finished behind Wakatakakage in the ''makushita'' division with 6 wins. 30-year-old [[Tsushimanada Masamitsu|Tsushimanada]] returns to sumo's second-highest division after three tournaments, while 37-year-old [[Kitaharima Seiya|Kitaharima]], a one-time ''maegashira'' competitor with a 22 year history in professional sumo, returns to ''jūryō'' for the first time in {{frac|4|1|2}} years.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/202401310000190.html|title=北はり磨、記録的な復活劇　若隆景、対馬洋、伯桜鵬とともに再十両|date=31 January 2024|publisher=Nikkan Sports|access-date=31 January 2024|lang=ja}}</ref>

*24: [[Takerufuji Mikiya|Takerufuji]] (13–2) escapes an injury withdrawal scenario and shows up to the [[Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium]] on the last day of the March tournament to defeat [[Gōnoyama Tōki|Gōnoyama]] (10–5), becoming the first newly-promoted ''[[makuuchi]]'' competitor since [[Ryōgoku Kajinosuke II|Ryōgoku II]] in 1914 to win the top division championship. He also becomes the fastest competitor to win their first [[Yūshō|Emperor's Cup]] since the introduction of the six-tournament system in 1958. Takerufuji had been diagnosed with a ligament injury in his right ankle following his loss to Asanoyama the day before. Despite the suggestion from his stablemaster Isegahama (the 63rd ''yokozuna'' [[Asahifuji Seiya|Asahifuji]]) to withdraw, he says that he would have regretted it for the rest of his life if he did. Takerufuji is rewarded by the Sumo Association for his efforts with all three [[Sanshō (sumo)|special prizes]] for outstanding performance, fighting spirit and technique, becoming the first to sweep the prizes since the former [[Kotomitsuki Keiji|Kotomitsuki]] in November 2000. Two additional awards for fighting spirit and technique are awarded to amateur sumo champion [[Ōnosato Daiki|Ōnosato]] (11–4), who was the runner-up for the majority of what is just his second tournament in the top division.
