US EditionOnosato, 24, Promoted to Sumo Grand Champion in Record Time
- Onosato, a 24-year-old Japanese wrestler, became sumo's 75th grand champion on Wednesday by attaining the yokozuna rank in record time.
- Following his victory in the Summer Grand Sumo Tournament—his second in a row and fourth overall—Onosato received a promotion recommendation earlier this week.
- Onosato achieved the rank of yokozuna after competing in only 13 professional sumo tournaments, setting a new speed record that surpassed the previous fastest promotion by a margin of eight tournaments, and became the first Japanese-born wrestler to attain this title since 2017.
- He stands 1.92 meters tall, weighs 191 kilograms, and said at his promotion press conference, "I want to maintain my style, be Onosato."
- His swift promotion, the fastest since 1958, suggests renewed prominence for Japanese-born wrestlers and sets up a July first yokozuna faceoff with Hoshoryu in Nagoya.
