Profile snapshot: 11 September 2026. Ranks, measurements and the six-tournament technique figures below are those recorded for this September guide.
In Tomokaze’s Association profile, hatakikomi accounts for 70% of his wins in the six-tournament snapshot. Oshidashi follows at 10%, then uwatenage at 3%. If I remember only the moment the opponent falls, I may lose sight of where Tomokaze was standing just before it.
The boundary is behind him, too
When an opponent comes forward, which direction does he move his feet? Besides retreating, where is there room to leave the line directly in front of the opponent? I want to follow both wrestlers and the straw boundary all the way to the successful slap-down. His listed preference for thrusting and pushing, and the hatakikomi that appears so often among his wins, are two pieces of information I want to keep distinct.
Piano and teams from Kawasaki
He finished July 5–10 at east juryo 4 and was west juryo 7 for September. His official questionnaire mentions piano and classical music, Kawasaki Frontale and the Kawasaki Brave Thunders. Asked what makes him number one, he names his return from injury.
