Hinomaru Ushio, also known as Onimaru Kunitsuna, is the main protagonist of the Hinomaru Sumo series.
== Charactah Account ==
A high school sumo wrestler who aims to become the next Yokozuna.
Hinomaru tends to have a friendly, easy-going personality and a serious mind when it comes to sumo and his studies. However, when he enters the dohyo, his personality completely changes, becoming focused, fierce and explosive like a blazing fire. Unlike Kuze Sousuke, who also went through year not competing, Hinomaru enjoys and absorbs the crowds' cheers and boos, while Kuze actively blocks them out to achieve a zen-like state of mind.
Hinomaru is a deceptively skilled sumo wrestler, being considered a National Treasure, someone who was the potential to become a yokozuna. Despite his height, he showed a 'demon-like' strength, fighting opponent much larger than him without a problem, having both great resistance and attacking power. His main focus when he attacks is grabbing his opponent's mawashi and using throwing techniques, like his Onigiruma (underarm throw). He also can keep people at a relative distance with strikes, similar in power to the ones Yuuma, a black-belt karateka, uses.
