<Japan sumo> 6 more games to go, who is close to the champion???

Japanese traditional sport, Sumo's summer (July) series started from 9th(Sun).

Now went through 9 days, and 6 more days to go for the final, "Senshuraku (千秋楽).

During this July series, highest rank players (Yokozuna and Ozeki) are all injured. Among them, Kirishima / 霧島 (Ozeki) came back to the series after 2 absence. Therefore the new young players have higher chance to be a champion of the competition.

Generally the champion has to have at least 12 wins out of 15 days (games).

After 9 games, there's no one with the 9-0 streak, and who is close to the champion now?
