With Hoshoryu out and questions surrounding the fitness of Onosato and Aonishiki, Kirishima has emerged as the man to beat as the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament prepares to get underway. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/09/11/sumo/autumn-sumo-tournament-preview/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #japansumoassociation #autumngrandsumotournament #kirishima #onosato #hoshoryu #aonishiki

Sumo is enjoying another popularity boom, but unlike past eras, the surge has little to do with its biggest stars and far more with social media and inbound tourism. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/09/09/sumo/sumo-popularity-surge-stars/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #japansumoassociation #onosato #aonishiki #hoshoryu

Nagoya cemented Aonishiki's status as sumo's leading performer, as his championship-winning return from injury pushed the 22-year-old Ukrainian ahead of both yokozuna in the debate over the sport's current No. 1. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/07/29/sumo/aonishiki-nagoya-winner-promotion/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #aonishiki #julygrandsumotournament #kirishima #atamifuji #hoshoryu #onosato

Aonishiki's push for both promotion and the Emperor's Cup has become the defining story of Nagoya, but Kirishima and several dangerous challengers remain firmly in the hunt with five days to play. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/07/22/sumo/nagoya-basho-final-stretch/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #aonishiki #kirishima #onosato #hoshoryu #julygrandsumotournament #japansumoassociation

Early losses for both yokozuna at the Nagoya basho this week shouldn't be any cause for concern — in theory. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/07/15/sumo/basho-reports/nagoya-basho-report/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #bashoreports #nagoyagrandsumotournament #sumo #aonishiki #onosato #yoshinofuji

The path to victory is wide open for Hoshoryu at the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament, but the scrutiny will also be greater than ever. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/05/08/sumo/summer-basho-preview-hoshoryu/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #summergrandsumotournament #hoshoryu #aonishiki #onosato

With Kirishima's recent promotion to sumo's second-highest rank, there will be three "ōzeki" in action during the summer grand sumo tournament. What should the expectations be for the trio? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/05/06/sumo/three-ozeki/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #kirishima #kotozakura #aonishiki #maygrandsumotournament

Sumo's history is filled with stories like Aonishiki's, where a fast rise up the rankings was temporarily halted at о̄zeki. That means his performance in Osaka is hardly cause for concern. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/03/18/sumo/aonishiki-osaka-basho-disapointment/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #springgrandsumotournament #aonishiki #sumo

With injured yokozuna, a possible Aonishiki promotion and a shifting hierarchy at the top, the spring basho in Osaka could reshape sumo’s balance of power. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/03/06/sumo/2026-march-basho-preview/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #aonishiki #springgrandsumotournament #hoshoryu #onosato #kotozakura #kirishima #atamifuji

The approaching onset of an odd-numbered month means another sumo tournament is almost upon us and, as is always the case, we have a new release of rankings to set the stage. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/02/25/sumo/march-basho-physical-banzuke/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #marchgrandsumotournament #fujiryoga #takayasu #kirishima #aonishiki

That Aonishiki is 21 years old is a fact it's hard to avoid coming back to. The Ukrainian native not only continues to shatter records inside the ring, but also comports himself with maturity and poise outside of it. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/02/05/sumo/sumo-gunning-aonishiki-poise/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #aonishiki #ukraine #sumo

"Aonishiki is the first wrestler to win back-to-back championships at sekiwake and ozeki since Futabayama completed the feat in January 1937. He will have the opportunity to fight for promotion to the ultimate rank of yokozuna at the March tournament."

After winning back-to-back Emperor’s Cups, the young Ukrainian Aonishiki now stands on the doorstep of promotion to sumo’s highest rank. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/01/26/sumo/basho-reports/aonishiki-hatsu-basho/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #bashoreports #aonishiki #newyeargrandsumotournament

Ukrainian о̄zeki Aonishiki clinched his second consecutive Grand Sumo Tournament on Sunday in Tokyo, putting him one step closer to promotion to the sport’s highest rank. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/01/25/sumo/basho-reports/aonishiki-wins-new-year-basho/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #bashoreports #aonishiki #newyeargrandsumotournament #atamifuji

Three days into the first Grand Sumo Tournament of the year and it’s already looking like Aonishiki could be the man to beat in 2026. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/01/14/sumo/hatsu-basho-week-1/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #hakunofuji #kotozakura #aonishiki #onosato #hoshoryu #newyeargrandsumotournament

Injuries and form concerns cloud sumo’s biggest stars heading into the 2026 hatsu basho, and the Emperor’s Cup race feels far less settled than expected. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/01/09/sumo/hatsu-basho-preview/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #januarygrandsumotournament #hoshoryu #aonishiki #onosato #kotozakura #yoshinofuji #asanoyama #fujinokawa

In der #SZ ist ein Artikel über #Aonishiki erschienen. Da steht zwar nicht viel neues drin, aber da in Dtl. #Sumo nicht viel Aufmerksamkeit bekommt, ist der Artikel trotzdem teilungswert.

Another exciting year of sumo is upon us, with the first "banzuke" of 2026 offering a hint of what’s to come and the names to watch. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/12/24/sumo/sumo-2026-first-banzuke/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #dewanoryu #aonishiki #terunofuji

Aonishiki gives up an average of 7 centimeters and 36 kilograms to his sumo rivals, but the rising Ukrainian star more than makes up for that disadvantage with elite technique. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/12/10/sumo/aonishiki-expert-technique/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #aonishiki #hoshoryu #onosato #ukraine

Aonishiki, a 21-year-old Ukrainian, won his first Emperor’s Cup at the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament and was promoted to ōzeki, highlighting his rapid rise and Japan’s growing acceptance of foreign wrestlers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/editorials/2025/11/28/japans-real-feelings-about-foreign-sumo-champ/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #editorials #sumo #aonishiki #ukraine #kyushugrandsumotournament #expats #foreignworkers #foreigntrainees #immigration

With two young yokozuna and now a fresh-faced ozeki at the top of the sumo rankings, the future looks bright for Japan's national sport. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/11/26/sumo/aonishiki-first-title-ozeki/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #aonishiki #kyushugrandsumotournament #onosato #hoshoryu

Aonishiki, said Monday that he had surprised even himself by becoming the first from his country to win a sumo tournament. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/11/24/sumo/aonishiki-shock-first-sumo-title/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #aonishiki #kyushugrandsumotournament
