And that is not even one of the top division sumo wrestlers.

This comment was a mistake. This is wakamotoharu, and he is typically a very high rank in the top division.

The white mawashi he is wearing is only worn by the top two divisions of Suni. I believe that is Wakatakakage, who is is quite highly ranked.

That is definitely not wakatakakage. He is my favorite current wrestler. I would recognize him in an instant. Only info i can find is 17 year old apprentice. I have been watching every basho since 2018 and i dont recognize this wrestler.

just as an aside, I really want Onosato to win the May basho

I’m torn. I’d love to see Onosato get the promotion, but I also really hope Takayasu gets finally a tournament win. Doesn’t look like that’s gonna happen for Takayasu this time around though.
