  1. 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? japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/0 #sumo #kirishima #kotozakura #aonishiki #maygrandsumotournament

  2. 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. japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/0 #sumo #springgrandsumotournament #aonishiki #sumo

  3. 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. japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/1 #sumo #aonishiki #hoshoryu #onosato #ukraine

  4. At just 25 years old, and already significantly better than every other wrestler in the sport, the only question that remains for Onosato is how many Emperor’s Cups he will win. japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/0 #sumo #onosato #aonishiki #hoshoryu #autumngrandsumotournament

  5. Ten days into the ongoing Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament and Ichiyamamoto — a 31-year-old journeyman who hasn’t posted more than 8 wins in a basho since 2023 — stunningly leads the race for the Emperor’s Cup. japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/0 #sumo #nagoyagrandsumotournament #aonishiki #ichiyamamoto #kusano #kirishima

  6. Sumo’s updated rankings have been released, and for the first time since Hakuho retired in 2021 there are yokozuna on both the east and west sides of the banzuke — with a slight caveat. japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/0 #sumo #banzuke #onosato #takayasu #aonishiki #nagoyagrandsumotournament

  7. One of sumo’s most reliable truisms is that “results in training mean nothing.” Which means it would be wise for fans of Hoshoryu to not get carried away with the yokozuna's results in training ahead of the May Basho. japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/0 #sumo #hoshoryu #onosato #kotozakura #summergrandsumotournament #aonishiki #hakuoho

  8. It’s been a rocky start to spring for sumo both in Japan and abroad, with issues over ticketing plaguing an event in London and top wrestlers struggling at the outset of the Osaka tournament. japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/0 #sumo #springgrandsumotournament #hoshoryu #onosato #aonishiki #abi #kotozakura #oho

  9. Onosato in May claimed sumo’s biggest prize just one year after making his professional debut. That makes him the clear-cut favorite to become the sport's next "ozeki." japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/0 #sumo #onosato #banzuke #wakatakakage #wakamotoharu #abi #aonishiki #takerufuji
