Profile snapshot: 11 September 2026. Ranks, measurements and the six-tournament technique figures below are those recorded for this September guide.
His ring name, 日翔志, is read Hitoshi. He favours a right-hand-inside grip and forward pressure, but hatakikomi leads the Association’s six-tournament figures at 32%, followed by oshidashi at 24% and yorikiri at 14%. I want to watch the contest before the grip is complete, rather than waiting only for the finished position.
When the opponent advances, where does his right arm go?
When he tries to get his right arm inside, does the opponent bring the bodies closer or push to keep the distance? I follow whether Hitoshi stays directly in front, and how the direction of the opponent’s pressure changes. Some wins come after he secures the belt; others finish without it. I would like to note that difference and look for the moments when his right arm does its work.
A September one year after his makuuchi debut
He first entered makuuchi in September 2025. He finished July 6–9 at east juryo 10 and was west juryo 11 for September. He debuted in May 2021 under his former ring name, Sawadasho. He comes from Tachikawa, Tokyo. His official questionnaire lists saunas, Southern All Stars, Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi and Nihon Toitsu among his interests and favourites.
