Career
Onosato, a 192cm *rikishi* from Ishikawa Prefecture, debuted in May 2023 at Nishonoseki stable and rose to *yokozuna* with exceptional speed. His recent tenure at sumo's highest rank has been marked by injury struggles: he withdrew completely from the May 2026 *basho* and partially from March 2026 after posting double-digit wins in January and November 2025. At 26 years old and 184kg, he represents one of the youngest wrestlers to reach *yokozuna* in modern sumo, though his ability to maintain the rank now hinges on recovery and consistency.
His attack centers on *yotsu-zumō* belt techniques, with pushing methods as a secondary weapon.

- Withdrew from the entire tournament, marking his second consecutive *basho* with significant absences due to injury.

- January 2026 Basho
- Posted 10-5 at *yokozuna*, avoiding *make-koshi* but falling short of championship contention.
