News

January

  • 9: The Japan Sumo Association announces that Emperor Naruhito will attend the sumo tournament in Tokyo on 18 January (Day 8). It will be the first tenran-zumō (天覧相撲)–sumo performed in the presence of the Emperor–in six years.[2]
  • 10: The Sumo Association announces a record number of kenshō-kin (prize money envelope) applications at the upcoming January grand sumo tournament. There are applications for a total of 3,469 prize envelopes, which breaks the record set in September of last year. There are also 258 envelopes set to be distributed on 11 January, which will break the previous single-day record set in January of last year.[3]
  • 14: Top maegashira Yoshinofuji defeats Ōnosato after winning against Hōshōryū the previous day, becoming the first maegashira competitor in six years to defeat two yokozuna on consecutive days.[4] This feat would be repeated later by Atamifuji, who entered the tournament having never earned a kinboshi.[5]
  • 16: The Sumo Association announces the retirement of former maegashira Daiamami.[6]
  • 18: Hakunofuji defeats Ōnosato in front of Emperor Naruhito, becoming the third wrestler since the start of the Shōwa era to collect at least one kinboshi in four consecutive tournaments.[7]
  • 22: Nishikifuji withdraws on Day 12 of the January 2026 tournament. His stablemaster cites returning neck and elbow pain stemming from earlier injuries.[8]
  • 23: Hakunofuji withdraws on Day 13 of the January 2026 tournament due to a ligament injury in his left big toe. Two days earlier, he appeared to collapse from his left knee during his loss to Aonishiki. Hakunofuji's scheduled opponent, Ōnokatsu–who was Nishikifuji's scheduled opponent the day before–becomes the fourth sumo wrestler in history to win two consecutive matches by default.[9][10]
    The Japan Sumo Association announces that the election of directors and deputy directors for the new two-year term at the head of the organization will not be subject to a vote for the fourth consecutive term, as the number of candidates matches the number of positions up for election. It has also been announced that the exact occupancy of the positions will be revealed on 8 March.[11]
  • 25: The January 2026 tournament concludes with ōzeki Aonishiki winning the championship playoff against rank-and-file wrestler Atamifuji, securing his second consecutive Emperor's Cup. Aonishiki and Atamifuji were tied in the standings entering Day 15 with eleven wins each. After Atamifuji won his scheduled Day 15 contest, which eliminated opponent Ōshōumi and three others (Abi, Kirishima and Ōnosato) from title contention, Aonishiki defeated ōzeki Kotozakura to force a playoff–just like he did in the previous tournament last November. The two (12–3) leaders faced each other in the playoff, where Atamifuji pushed Aonishiki to the edge of the ring before Aonishiki stayed low and took his opponent down with a headlock throw. Aonishiki's victory marks the first time in almost 20 years, since Hakuhō in the May 2006 tournament, that a newly promoted ōzeki has won the championship. He is also the first wrestler in 89 years (since Futabayama in 1937) to win consecutive titles as a newly promoted sekiwake and a newly promoted ōzeki. Aonishiki will be a candidate for potential yokozuna promotion at the next tournament in March. The Sumo Association awards runner-up Atamifuji with his third Fighting Spirit prize, one of three special prizes handed out. A Fighting Spirit prize is also awarded to Kirishima (11–4) for the fourth time in his career. Yoshinofuji (8–7) collects his first Outstanding Performance prize; he has now collected at least one Special Prize in three of his four career tournaments in the top division.[12][13]
    The jūryō division championship is won by 22-year-old Tochigi native Wakanoshō (12–3), who collects his first professional sumo title.[14]
  • 26: Two months after it was announced, Tokiwayama stable is transferred from the retiring Tokiwayama (former komusubi Takamisugi) to Minatogawa (former ōzeki Takakeishō) and becomes Minatogawa stable.[15]
  • 28: Three promotions from makushita to jūryō are announced for the March tournament by the Sumo Association. One of two wrestlers promoted to sekitori for the first time is 25-year-old Mongolian Toshinofuji, a recruit of yokozuna Hakuhō with two years of professional experience and one lower-division championship. He is the first sekitori promotion for former yokozuna Terunofuji since taking over Isegahama stable last year. The other is 19-year-old Fukuzaki, an All Japan Sumo Championship quarterfinalist as a high school student who debuted as a makushita tsukedashi competitor one year ago. In the March 2026 tournament he will take on the new shikona of Fujitensei (藤天晴). Former maegashira competitor Shimazuumi returns to the second-highest sumo division after six tournaments.[16][17]
    The Sumo Association announced multiple retirements including former makushita Kaorufuji (香富士), a 23-year veteran and the last remaining active wrestler from the former Mihogaseki stable.[18]
  • 30: Sanae Takaichi, the first female Prime Minister of Japan, says that she will respect sumo traditions regarding women and not enter the dohyō. The remarks are in relation to the presentation of the Prime Minister's Cup, which is awarded to the winner of the top division at every grand sumo tournament. In the January tournament, special advisor Takahiro Inoue presented the Prime Minister's Cup to Aonishiki on her behalf.[19][20]
  • 31: The retirement ceremony is held at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan for the 73rd yokozuna Terunofuji.[21]

February

  • 1: The retirement ceremony for former maegashira Mitoryū is held at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan.[22]
  • 7: The NHK Charity Sumo Tournament is held at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan with over 4,300 in attendance. Among the musicians performing songs with sumo wrestlers was idol group STU48 and singers Miyuki Kawanaka and Kaori Mizumori.[23]
  • 8: Yokozuna Hōshōryū wins the 50th Japan Grand Sumo Tournament, a one-day tournament held for professional sumo wrestlers at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan, before 9,030 attendees. It is his second career win in the tournament. The Fighting Spirit prize recipient was maegashira Hiradoumi, who had only lost in semi-finals to eventual tournament champion.[24]
  • 13: Former top-division wrestler Daishōhō announces his retirement after a final tournament in the sandanme division where he had recorded a negative score.[25]
  • 24: The Sumo Association releases the rankings for the March 2026 tournament in Osaka, in which Ukrainian ōzeki Aonishiki vies for his third straight Emperor's Cup and promotion to yokozuna. The only change among the san'yaku ranks is the elevation of January runner-up Atamifuji to the fourth-highest rank of komusubi for the first time in his career. He is the first wrestler from Shizuoka Prefecture to be promoted to the upper ranks of sumo since Tenryū was promoted to sekiwake in 1930. There are two new promotions to the top division: Fujiseiun and Fujiryōga, both from Fujishima stable. 28-year-old Fujiseiun is a five-year veteran with four championships in the lower divisions, most recently in May 2024. Fujiryōga, who is promoted a few days before his 23rd birthday, is a makushita tsukedashi competitor who placed high in three amateur tournaments in 2024 before he debuted for Fujishima stable in March 2025. He picked up the jūryō title in his fifth professional tournament last November. Returning to the top division is 22-year-old Kotoeihō, whose only other tournament as a maegashira was in July of last year. Mongolian Tamawashi will appear in his 99th tournament in the top division, tying him with Ōshima (former sekiwake Kyokutenhō) for the third-most makuuchi tournament appearances in sumo history. As a result of the latest rankings, Kasugano stable is left without a sekitori-ranked wrestler for the first time in 91 years.[26][27][28][29]
  • 27: It is reported that the Japan Sumo Association's compliance committee is investigating alleged violent behavior by Isegahama (the 73rd yokozuna Terunofuji) against Isegahama stable wrestler Hakunofuji. According to reports, Isegahama himself informed the Sumo Association about the matter, and he along with Hakunofuji and Nishikifuji had been questioned by the compliance committee earlier in the week. On the same day that the news was reported, Isegahama admits to the press that he committed an act of violence.[30][31][32]

March

  • 6: The Sumo Association announces that Midorifuji will be absent from the upcoming March tournament due to heart failure. His medical certificate indicates one month of treatment. His absence from the entire tournament will likely result in his demotion to jūryō in May.[33]
  • 9: Two maegashira withdraw from the tournament following opening day losses. Ōnokatsu is diagnosed with a left ankle sprain after appearing to land awkwardly in his defeat to Ichiyamamoto. Hakunofuji re-aggravates a foot injury he sustained in the previous tournament.[34][35] Both wrestlers would later re-enter the tournament, but Ōnokatsu is later forced to pull out for the second time.[36]
  • 10: Abi withdraws from the tournament due to a diagnosed spinal fracture following his loss to Ichiyamamoto on Day 2. He is the fourth sekitori to withdraw from this tournament.[37] He later returned to the tournament on Day 9.[38]
  • 21: Sekiwake Kirishima maintains a two-win lead on the second-to-last day of the March 2026 tournament to officially clinch his third yūshō in the top division. Entering Day 14 as the leader with both Hōshōryū and Kotoshōhō behind him by two wins, Kirishima needed to defeat Aonishiki–whose yokozuna promotion bid already fell apart. Although Kirishima was defeated in his match, so were Hōshōryū and Kotoshōhō in their respective contests, resulting in their elimination from championship contention. Despite Kirishima's Day 14 loss, has totaled 34 victories over the last three tournaments as either a sekiwake or komusubi, which passes the 33-win threshold for a second promotion to ōzeki.[39]
    Earlier in the day, it is announced that top maegashira Wakatakakage would withdraw after injuring his right arm in his Day 13 win, which gave him his eighth victory of the tournament.[40]
  • 22: Kirishima loses his final match against Kotozakura, but his promotion to sumo's second-highest rank is all but assured as a request is made to Sumo Association president Hakkaku to convene an extraordinary meeting of the Board of Directors. Four special prizes are handed out to four wrestlers. Tournament champion Kirishima collects his first Outstanding Performance prize for his third special prize in a row and ninth overall. Tournament runner-up Kotoshōhō wins his third Fighting Spirit prize. A Fighting Spirit prize is also awarded to maegashira debutant Fujiseiun. The Technique prize is awarded to Fujinokawa who collected the first two gold stars of his career at the tournament, having defeated both yokozuna Ōnosato and Hōshōryū on the third and fourth day, respectively. Meanwhile Aonishiki, who entered the tournament with the chance at yokozuna promotion, instead finds himself battling to keep his ōzeki rank in the next tournament after losing his eighth match.[41]
    25-year-old Mongolian Dewanoryū (11–4) clinches the jūryō championship with a playoff victory over Wakanoshō (11–4),[42] while former maegashira Tsurugishō becomes the first jūryō competitor in six years to post 15 straight losses in a tournament.[43]
  • 23: Hakkaku (the 61st yokozuna Hokutoumi) is elected for the sixth straight time as chairman of the Japan Sumo Association.[44] Four oyakata are elected as association directors for the first time: Fujishima (former ōzeki Musōyama), Onoe (former komusubi Hamanoshima), Kataonami (former sekiwake Tamakasuga) and Oitekaze (former maegashira Daishōyama).[45]
    The Sumo Association announces the retirements of former maegashira Chiyomaru and Hidenoumi.[46]
  • 25: Kirishima's second promotion to ōzeki is unanimously approved by the Sumo Association. He becomes the third wrestler since the introduction of the kadoban system in 1969 to return to the ōzeki rank after failing to immediately do so.[47]
    Following the Sumo Association board meeting to determine the May tournament rankings, four promotions to jūryō are announced. The lone first-time promotion to sumo's second-highest rank is 24-year-old Ōkaryū, who entered professional sumo two years ago as a sandanme tsukedashi competitor. Three others return to jūryō: Hakuyōzan, Tochitaikai, and Enhō.[48]
  • 26: Sumo Association's director of public relations Fujishima (former ōzeki Musōyama), announces that the Sumo Association will hold an extraordinary meeting on 9 April to discuss the allegations of physical abuse involving Isegahama (the 73rd yokozuna Terunofuji). Earlier in the month, it was announced that Terunofuji would not be participating in the March tournament as a provisional measure.[49]

The spring jungyō (regional tours) are held at the following locations in March:[50]

April

  • 6: The Sumo Association has announced the retirement of former maegashira Tsurugishō following his final jūryō rank tournament; a tournament in which he failed to secure a single victory.[51]
  • 10: After accusations of physical abuse at Isegahama stable by stablemaster Isegahama (the former Terunofuji), the JSA board of directors has announced that Terunofuji will be demoted two ranks in the hierarchy of toshiyori. He will face a 10% pay cut for three months- a lighter punishment than usual due to his remorse, his self-reporting, and the fact that wrestler Hakunofuji, the victim of the violence, had also had "intolerable behavior" that warranted reprimands from his master. As a result of his behavior, Hakunofuji is also receiving a formal warning.[52][53]
  • 27: The Japan Sumo Association publishes the banzuke for the May 2026 tournament in Tokyo. The release of the makuuchi rankings also finalizes the list of wrestlers who will participate in the international tour taking place in Paris in June.[54]
    Kirishima had his second promotion to ōzeki following his championship victory at the March tournament. Atamifuji, who was just promoted to the san'yaku ranks for the March tournament, moves up another rank to become a sekiwake. Kotoshōhō is promoted to sekiwake, whose promotion after 35 tournaments in makuuchi makes him the tenth-slowest wrestler to reach this rank. Fujinokawa, one of the division’s youngest wrestlers, is promoted to the top of the maegashira ranks, just one rank away from making his san'yaku debut. Wakanoshō, the former January jūryō champion, makes his top-division debut after another standout performance in March. In doing so, he becomes the fifth wrestler from Tochigi Prefecture to enter makuuchi since the end of World War II and the first wrestler from Minatogawa stable to earn this promotion since the stable was taken over by former Takakeishō.[55][56][57][58] Enhō, the popular wrestler and former makuuchi member, is also making his return to the salaried ranks, becoming the first former top-division wrestler in sumo history to return to the sekitori ranks after being demoted to jonokuchi.[59]

The spring jungyō (regional tours) are held at the following locations in April:[50]

May

  • 11: On the first day of the tournament, Hōshōryū, the only yokozuna participating in the tournament, withdraws from the tournament after losing to komusubi Takayasu.[60]
  • 13: On the fourth day of the tournament, Komusubi Takayasu withdraws after sustaining an injury on the third day during his match against Hiradoumi.[61]
  • 21: On the eleventh day of the tournament, Ōzeki Kotozakura withdraws after suffering a losing record. This withdrawal puts him in a kadoban situation for the Nagoya tournament.[62]
    On the same day, maegashira and former ōzeki Asanoyama withdraws from competition, citing a Lisfranc ligament injury in his left leg.[63]
  • 24: The May tournament concludes with a playoff match between Wakatakakage and Kirishima. Both wrestlers entered the match with 12 wins and 3 losses each. This was their second meeting of the tournament, with Kirishima having emerged victorious in their previous bout on the eleventh day. Wakatakakage defeats the ōzeki by oshidashi and wins the second Emperor's Cup of his career. Although he had regained ōzeki status, Kirishima failes to win two consecutive titles, which would have allowed him to move toward the supreme rank of yokozuna.[64][65] With this championship, Wakatakakage became only the eleventh wrestler ranked as komusubi to win a tournament since 1931. Given his performance, which was widely regarded as nearly flawless from a technical standpoint, many commentators expressed optimism about a possible promotion to the rank of ōzeki later in the year.[66] The tournament's special prizes are presented to Wakatakakage, who wins his seventh Technique prize, as well as to Hakunofuji and Yoshinofuji, who each win their second Fighting Spirit prize, both wrestlers finishing the tournament with a 11–4 record.[65]
    This month's jūryō tournament is won by Kazuma (Kise stable), who claims his fourth championship overall and his first as a sekitori, boosting his chances of promotion to the makuuchi division for the July tournament.[67]
    In a rare occurrence, the makushita division title was decided in a playoff involving seven different wrestlers, with Ikarigata —the younger brother of makuuchi wrestler Fujinokawa— emerging victorious.[68]
  • 27: The Japan Sumo Association announces that only one wrestler, Arashifuji (Isegahama stable), will be promoted to the jūryō division for the Nagoya tournament. His promotion, coming just two years after his professional debut, makes him the ninth sekitori in his stable.[69]
    A series of retirements is announced, among them is that of Wakatakamoto (Arashio stable), the older brother of top-division wrestlers Wakamotoharu and Wakatakakage. Although he failed to secure a promotion to the jūryō division—which would have made his family the second in the sport's history to have three brothers ranked as sekitori—Wakatakamoto will remain employed by the association as a wakaimonogashira.[70] Another wrestler to retire is the former jūryō wrestler Yūma (Ōnomatsu stable).
  • 28: The Japan Sumo Association announces the permanent closure of the Miyagino stable, citing the fact that more than two years had passed since the Miyagino staff had been placed under the supervision of Isegahama stable, that one year had passed since the departure of former yokozuna Hakuhō, and that no request to reopen Miyagino stable had been submitted to the board as of that date. Consequently, the decision considers the members of the former Miyagino stable to be fully part of the Isegahama stable.[71]
  • 30: The retirement ceremony for former komusubi Hokutofuji is held at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan.[72]
  • 31: The retirement ceremony for former sekiwake Takarafuji is held at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan.[73]
    The Japan Sumo Association announces new arrangements for regional tours (jungyō) starting in 2027. The number of events will be capped at 70 per year, and they will last longer in each location. These decisions follow numerous absences from official tournaments due to injuries, which may be linked to the busy schedule that does not allow for proper preparation or rest.[74]

June

A crowd of figures dressed in black kimonos gathers around a clay ring in the center of an arena surrounded by bleachers
Executives, wrestlers and referees greet the audience at the Accor Arena in Paris at the opening of the 2026 Paris Sumo Tournament.
  • 13: A two-day exhibition tournament sanctioned by the Japan Sumo Association begins at the Accor Arena in Paris. The tournament consists of two single-day competitions, with the winner of each day facing off on the final day to determine the overall champion. On the first day of competition, Kotozakura emerges victorious with a win over fellow-ōzeki Kirishima.[76] This is the first time in 31 years that the French capital has hosted a sumo tournament.[77]
  • 14: Ōzeki Kotozakura wins the Paris tournament by defeating yokozuna Hōshōryū, who lost by yorikiri (frontal force out).[78][79]
  • 29: The Japan Sumo Association unveils the banzuke for the July 2026 tournament. This tournament presents ōzeki Kirishima with his second opportunity to be promoted to the highest rank of yokozuna if he manages to win the title. The ōzeki rank is also weakened by Kotozakura, who faces kadoban status for the second time in his career after withdrawing from the May tournament due to a back injury.[80] Former ōzeki Aonishiki is demoted to the rank of sekiwake after missing the entire last tournament due to injury. This tournament still presents him with a chance to immediately return to the second-highest rank by winning at least 10 bouts. Wakatakakage, the winner of the last tournament, is also competing as a sekiwake after spending the last tournament as a komusubi. This tournament represents an opportunity for him to build on his success in May and secure a promotion to ōzeki for the November tournament. Kotoshōhō and Atamifuji both retain their sekiwake ranks, which they have held for two and three tournaments, respectively.[81] The komusubi rank is held by Ōhō, who is returning to this level of competition for the first time since January. The second spot is held by Yoshinofuji, who is making his debut at this rank and, in doing so, reaches the highest rank of his career so far.[82] Two wrestlers have been promoted to the makuuchi division for the first time: Kazuma, who won the most recent jūryō tournament, and Daiseizan, the second Chinese wrestler—since Sōkokurai in 2010—to reach the top division.[83] Another notable ranking change is that of "Iron Man" Tamawashi, who is relegated to the jūryō division. With this demotion, there are no longer any wrestlers in the top division who were born during the Shōwa era.[84]

July

  • 6: It is announced that defending champion Wakatakakage will sit out from the Nagoya tournament after suffering a thigh injury during a training session on July 1st.[85]
  • 14: Fujinokawa remains undefeated against both yokozuna, becoming only the fourth wrestler in sumo history to win four consecutive bouts against a yokozuna. This has not been accomplished since the January 1931 tournament, when Musashiyama won his fourth straight victory against yokozuna Miyagiyama.[86]
  • 18: Wakanoshō withdraws from the tournament after suffering a contusion to his right femur during his match the previous day.[87]
  • 25: Hōshōryū withdraws from the tournament. His medical report cited an injury to his right medial collateral ligament and his right hamstrings, requiring approximately six weeks of recovery.[88][89]
  • 25: The Sumo Association announces the retirement of former maegashira Daishōmaru.[90]
  • 26: The July tournament concludes with the victory of sekiwake Aonishiki following a three-way playoff (tomoesen)—a first in nine tournaments. On the final day, three wrestlers (Atamifuji, Kirishima and Aonishiki) were still in contention for the championship, with Aonishiki leading the title race by a single victory. In the match between Aonishiki and Atamifuji, Atamifuji emerged victorious, bringing both wrestlers to a 12–3 record and ensuring a playoff. They are joined in the penultimate match by Kirishima, who also secured a 12–3 record after defeating ōzeki Kotozakura. After a coin toss, Atamifuji wins his first match against Kirishima before losing to Aonishiki, who in turn wins his second match against Kirishima, claiming the championship with a yorikiri victory. Aonishiki had already secured his return to the rank of ōzeki on the eleventh day by recording his tenth victory and, riding that momentum, went on to win his third Emperor's Cup. This performance makes him the first wrestler in the history of the sport to be demoted from the ōzeki rank, regain that rank in a single tournament, and win the championship in the process.[91][92] The Japan Sumo Association honors makuuchi wrestlers by awarding the special prizes. The first wrestler to receive an award is Fujinokawa, who is honored with the Outstanding Performance prize for defeating both yokozuna. The Fighting Spirit prize is awarded to wrestlers who were among the top performers: Kotoeihō and Atamifuji, as well as Takayasu, who collects his seventh such award. Aonishiki, for his part, is awarded the Technique prize for the fourth time in his career.[93]
    The jūryō division championship is won by Shōnannoumi (11–4) after a playoff involving four wrestlers (along with Asasuiryū, Toshinofuji and Arashifuji).[94]
  • 29: The Japan Sumo Association announces the promotion of three wrestlers to the jūryō division. The newcomers to the division are Tanji of Arashio stable, who is making his sekitori debut after debuting at the March 2022 tournament, and Tokifudō of Tokitsukaze stable, whose promotion marks the first time a native of Shizuoka Prefecture has reached the division since Atamifuji's promotion in March 2022. The third wrestler promoted is Nabatame of Futagoyama stable, who is returning to the division for the first time since July 2025 after an injury-induced demotion in the sandanme division.[95]
    The retirement from the ring of five sumo wrestlers is confirmed, including former maegashira Daishōmaru.[96]
  • 30: The Japan Sumo Association announces an increase in ticket prices for most tournaments starting in January 2027, with the exception of the Nagoya (July) and Kyūshū (November) tournaments. The pricing system currently sets different prices for weekdays, holidays, and weekends, and now prices for the last two days of each tournament will also be adjusted separately and increased.[97]
    Another reform, effective January 2027, will also adjust the salaries and bonuses of sumo wrestlers, for the first time in eight years. Sekitori's monthly salaries will increase by 10%, while wrestlers in the lower divisions will see a 6% to 9% increase in tournament allowances according to their ranks. Tour participation allowances will also be raised by 20% to 50%, depending on ranking. Bonuses for division champions will also be increased, as will those for wrestlers who receive the three special prizes.[98][99]
