For September’s opening day, Hatsuyama was scheduled to face Enho. Their official heights were 195 cm and 167 cm, a difference of 28 cm. Putting those measurements beside the two names on the bout list makes me wonder at what height their hands will meet after the initial charge.

Uwatedashinage accounts for another 11%

In the Association’s six-tournament figures, oshidashi and hatakikomi are tied at 23%, followed by uwatedashinage, a pulling overarm throw, at 11%. When the opponent comes closer, does he maintain the distance for pushing, or take the belt and change direction? That breakdown does not fit neatly into an expectation that the taller wrestler simply pushes down from above.

Number one at enjoying sumo

In the official questionnaire, he names how much he enjoys wrestling as the thing in which he is number one. He likes white rice and the music of Sambomaster. He finished July 7–8 at west juryo 8 and held the same rank for September. He debuted in March 2022, reached juryo in January 2025 and entered makuuchi in January 2026.
