Profile snapshot: 11 September 2026. Ranks, measurements and the six-tournament technique figures below are those recorded for this September guide.
His ring name, 生田目, is read Nabatame. He finished July 6–1 at west makushita 3 and returned to east juryo 10 for September. In the official questionnaire, he lists DJing as a hobby and music selection as the thing in which he is number one. Those answers make me curious about the sounds of his life away from the ring, too.
From seven bouts to fifteen days
The Association’s six-tournament figures show tsukidashi at 35%, oshidashi at 26% and tsukiotoshi at 22%. The sample includes his makushita tournaments, so it is not a record of how he wins in juryo alone. How does the direction of his pressure change when an opponent retreats under the thrusts, compared with one who closes through the gap between his arms? I want to follow those exchanges across fifteen days, keeping July’s six wins in mind.
Hard techno and egg sushi
He debuted in January 2020 and reached juryo in July 2024; his highest rank is juryo 5. The official questionnaire mentions hard techno and Yellow Claw, while his favourite sushi is very specifically egg. Hard techno and egg sushi: the contrast between those words on one profile helped his name stick in my mind.
