Career
Kinbozan is a Kazakh *rikishi* competing for Kise stable. Standing 195 cm and weighing 173 kg, he debuted in September 2021 and has established himself in the *maegashira* ranks. His recent form shows volatility: a severe 4-11 showing at *maegashira* 8 in January 2026 dropped him to the bottom of the division, where he posted consecutive *kachi-koshi* at *maegashira* 16 and *maegashira* 14. After a *make-koshi* at *maegashira* 11 in May 2026, he rebounded with a 9-6 record in July 2026, demonstrating resilience at the lower *maegashira* ranks.
His attack centers on *yorikiri* and belt techniques, with pushing methods as a secondary weapon.
