September 2026 profile. Ranks, measurements, announced pairings and the six-tournament breakdown below reflect the Japanese article’s source check on 11 September 2026.
Fujiryoga’s Makuuchi debut in March ended 7–8. Life in the top division did not begin with a winning record. Then came 10–5 in May and another 10–5 in July: the same double-digit result twice after that initial stumble. For September he reached a career-high Maegashira 4.
A higher rank, and ten wins again
Those ten wins came at Maegashira 17 in May and Maegashira 9 in July. A different place in the rankings brings a different set of opponents, which makes repeating the total interesting. His professional debut was in March 2025, his Juryo debut in November that year and his Makuuchi debut in March 2026. Put the dates together, and I feel I need to hurry up and learn the name before he moves on again.
Pushing out or pushing down
The Association’s six-tournament breakdown gives oshidashi, a frontal push-out, 51%; oshitaoshi, a frontal push-down, 16%; and hatakikomi, a slap-down, 8%. Push-outs and push-downs together account for 67%. The technique’s name changes depending on whether the opponent goes outside the ring or falls, so I do not want to treat the two as wholly different kinds of sumo just because the finishes differ. I also want to watch where the opponent’s feet stop under the pressure.
Public baths, yes. Saunas, no.
His hobby in the official questionnaire is visiting public baths, with an explicit addition: no sauna. Alongside his rapid rise in sumo, that very particular preference helps me remember him. He previously wrestled as Goto. If that name appears in an older results table, read it as an earlier part of Fujiryoga’s story.
