Profile snapshot: 11 September 2026. Ranks, measurements and the six-tournament technique figures below are those recorded for this September guide.
Hatakikomi leads Tochitaikai’s Association profile over the six-tournament snapshot at 35%, followed by oshidashi at 21% and tsukiotoshi at 9%. After looking up at his 193 cm frame, I want to see in which direction the opponent is moving his feet.
When the positions change during a pushing contest
His preferred techniques are thrusting and pushing. After an opponent is pushed back, how does the distance change at the moment he comes forward again? I follow whether Tochitaikai stays directly in front or changes his footing and moves out of the line. The hatakikomi percentage alone cannot show whether he pulled back from the initial charge or whether the finish followed an attack. That is a distinction I want to see in the bout.
An opening day against a new juryo wrestler
He finished July 7–8 at east juryo 14 and held the same rank for September, with newly promoted Tokifudo scheduled as his opening-day opponent. He debuted as Tsukahara in November 2017, reached juryo in May 2024 and entered makuuchi in May 2025. His official questionnaire mentions watching baseball and the Chiba Lotte Marines, with Dai Hirai among his favourite music.
