Mitakeumi Hisashi

I've always had a soft spot for Mitakeumi, and a lot of it comes down to where he's from. Sumo's heavy hitters usually hail from Kyushu or the eastern wrestling strongholds, so a kid out of Agematsu, a little mountain town in Nagano's Kiso valley, climbing onto the dohyo just makes me want to cheer for him. He's not a flashy technician, he's a get-low, drive-you-out-of-the-ring grinder, and watching him bull forward is honestly satisfying. He had his ups and downs, but that stubborn, dig-in-at-the-edge resilience is exactly my kind of wrestler. A hometown hero quietly carrying Nagano on his back.

Mitakeumi Hisashi is a professional sumo wrestler born on December 25, 1992, in Agematsu, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. He attended Toyo University before entering professional sumo, where he is known for a straight-ahead, pushing style of wrestling. A native of the mountainous Kiso region of Nagano, he has built a following as one of the sport's prominent wrestlers from the Chubu region.
