September 2026 profile · Information checked on 11 September 2026. Rankings, measurements and six-tournament figures below are from that pre-tournament snapshot.
Chiyoshoma chose speed as the thing he does best. Speed makes me think first of the initial charge, but his listed strengths are pushing, a left-hand-inside grip and force-out sumo. There may be speed to notice when an opponent changes direction after they have already come together.
Slap-downs 19%, force-outs 14%, overarm throws 11%
Those leading 3 techniques—hatakikomi, yorikiri and uwatenage—add up to only 44% in the Association’s six-tournament display. His wins include both belt work and bringing an opponent down. Once he gets his left arm inside, how long does he have before the other wrestler works an arm back in? Can he change direction before the opponent resets his feet? I want to note the situations in which I notice the speed he named himself.
September marked ten years since his makuuchi debut
His first top-division tournament was September 2016. Ten years later, he was west maegashira 14 for September, with Asasuiryu scheduled for the opening day. He had gone 5–10 at maegashira 10 in July, and his highest rank was maegashira 2. The official questionnaire lists sightseeing as a hobby and Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi among his favourite music. Since his professional debut in July 2009, his ring names have been Shoma and then Chiyoshoma.
