Masato Hyodo

is a member of the Eigadai Affiliated High School Sumo Club. Becoming a professional Sumo Wrestler he joined the Minagawa Stable. He is also the older brother of Chihiro Kunisaki.
==Appearance==
 Like his younger brother, Chihiro, Hyoudou is a large, muscular dark-skinned man with sharp black eyes. He has long, black hair (greenish where the light hits) and a black beard. His most unique feature is a long crescent scar that runs across the top part of his face above his nose. 
During matches, he wears Eigadai Sumo Club's mawashi which is red in color. 
==Personality==
He's extremely confident in his abilities, and has the strength to back up his talk, but his flashiness and loud mouth make others call him an idiot.
According to Chihiro, his sole goal is to take up anything Chihiro does, beat him, then promptly quit, which angers Chihiro greatly. However, after the Inter High it is revealed that he does genuinely respect Chihiro's talent, but just simply refuses to come in second to his little brother.
==Abilities==
Having only done sumo for 2 years, his level of sumo is on par with his brother and many Nation Treasures. He is also very athletically gifted, probably more so than Chihiro. However, given his arrogance or tricky, he often is oblivious to the rules of sumo, and conceding losses in the most idiotic ways possible. This is also why he never got a moniker of his own. Like Chihiro, he also competes in many different sports like soccer, basketball, judo and boxing.
==History==
As a child he took the things that mattered to his younger brother, messed them up and left.Hinomaru Zumō Manga: Chapter 135, Page 7 Masato would always start something after Chihiro, become better at it and then leave.Hinomaru Zumō Manga: Chapter 136, Page 3
When his parents divorced, he went with his father.Hinomaru Zumō Manga: Chapter 134, Page 12, Ep. 21 in the anime.
After joining Eigadai Affiliated High School, he wandered from club to club after causing trouble and being driven out. When he finally arrived at the Sumo Club he picked a fight and lost at his own game. Masato stayed at the Sumo Club, working hard he aimed to become a regular.Hinomaru Zumō Manga: Chapter 135, Page 14-15
