September 2026 profile · Information checked on 11 September 2026. Rankings, measurements and six-tournament figures below are from that pre-tournament snapshot.
Kyokukaiyu went 7–8 at west juryo 1 in July. He appeared at the same rank for September. After wrestling right to the boundary between a winning and losing record, he would start from that position again. Daiseizan was the scheduled opening-day opponent.
Force-outs 38%, push-outs 30%
Those two techniques, yorikiri and oshidashi, were followed by yoritaoshi, a frontal crush-out, at 8% in the Association’s six-tournament display. His listed strengths—pushing, a left-hand-inside grip and force-out sumo—help me see how many of those wins carry an opponent forward. Has he made the other wrestler retreat before getting his left hand inside, or does the opponent hold his ground once they have a grip? Following the change from pushing to belt work gives me more to notice within one bout.
A name to listen for: Kyokukaiyu
He has used the name Kyokukaiyu since his professional debut in November 2023. He reached juryo in September 2025, making this September its first anniversary. His official questionnaire lists watching films, ONE PIECE and Shohei Ohtani. He is from Bayankhongor in Mongolia. Knowing how to say the name also makes it easier to recognise when the wrestlers are called.
