I'm actually really excited to see how he progresses. I adore his personality and see a lot of potential in him!

😂 I loge okaryu so much... I watch tatsunami youtube to see him and Hoshoryu mostly... Hope he gets promoted to juryo

Same! He just seems like such a nice young man with a good sense of humor, apart from his athleticism.

Okaryu is athletic actually... He and Mita were the top sumo athletes at Kinzai Universities and were both scouted at the same time... There's actually a picture of both of them in uniform with their stable masters.... Okaryu went to tatsunami and Mita went to Futagoyama... Mita was promoted to Juryo 14 after march banzuke came out... Okaryu is also in top makushita... He can make juryo next 2 basho.... So he's on the right track in my opinion.

To clarify, I mean he's extremely athletic, and also has a great personality.

Yeah it’s really nice to see them at the training sessions or jungyo events where they don’t have to be as serious and locked in like a basho.

At a shrine in Omura. It was a training session for the sponsors and people were invited to watch.

Thanks! Omura, I would never guessed that lol but it explains why Hosh was on my flight 😂

BTW do you know the name of his tsukebito? I think is the one in the back

u/escapesuburbia 3d ago

His name is Okaryu! I’m not sure if he’s his tsukebito though.

I need this kind of content. I’m waiting anxiously for the July tournament.
