My Take
I'll be honest, I'm a sucker for sumo, so a Mito-born rikishi like Musōyama already has me leaning in. He came up the college route through Senshu University, and you can kind of feel that in his style: this wasn't a guy who just bulldozed people, he had a thinking man's ferocity to him. What I love is that he was a pusher-thruster, all that explosive tsuppari off the tachiai, the kind of straight-ahead, no-nonsense wrestling that matches the blunt honesty of an Ibaraki guy. The name itself, Musōyama, sounds like a mountain you don't move. He grafted his way up to ōzeki and grabbed that top-division title, which is no small thing. I don't have juicy gossip on him, and frankly I don't need it. I just quietly respect a man who bet his whole life on one mawashi.
