## **Early Life**

Kosaku Fujita was born on June 21, 1989, in Kasukabe, Saitama. He attended Saitama Sakae High School and was a member of the wrestling club. He watched the May 2006 tournament live in Tokyo at the Ryogoku Kokugikan with his father and was scouted by then ozeki Hakuho while he was walking around Ryogoku on his way home. He subsequently dropped out of high school and joined Hakuho's Miyagino stable to show filial piety to his parents.

## **Career**

He made his professional debut in March 2007 alongside Tosayutaka, Tokushinho, Chiyoarashi, and Tanzo. He initially wrestled under the shikona "Hokazan" (宝香山) and was promoted to sandanme in January 2008.

In May 2015, Hokaho was ranked at makushita 7 and finished with a 2-5 record. However, since there was an unbalanced match card on the final day of the tournament, Hokaho was placed in a rare eighth bout on the 15th day against juryo-ranked Dewahayate where he lost the match to finish with a 2-6 record. In September 2021 he was promoted to a career-best makushita 3, but he missed the tournament due a COVID-19 outbreak in his stable. Luckily, he suffered no loss in rank, but he finished with a 3-4 record in the tournament.

## **Controversy**

### **Ishiura - Hokaho Altercation**

In training at his stable before the January 2020 tournament he came to blows with a senior ranked wrestler, Ishiura, after a series of heated bouts and the pair had to be separated by Hakuho. The incident was reported to the Sumo Association by Miyagino Oyakata, and Ishiura was docked 20 percent of one month's salary. As a result, in the January, 2020, tournament, Hakuho replaced Ishiura with Terutsuyoshi as the dew sweeper, or tsuyuharai. Since Hokaho was an unsalaried wrestler he did not receive any punishment, but he still had to give out a formal apology.

## **Fighting Style**

Hokaho is a yotsu-sumo wrestler who prefers grappling to pushing and thrusting techniques. He won majority of his bouts with a straightforward yorikiri, or force out.

## **Fighting Style**

Kaneminato was one of the smallest rikishi of his time standing only at 1.64 m (5 ft 4.5 in) and peaking at 86 kg (190 Ib). Due to this, his most common kimarite were hatakikomi (slap down), hikiotoshi (pull down), and watashikomi (thigh-grabbing push down).

Kanreki dohyo-iri

In sumo wrestling, a kanreki dohyo-iri (Japanese: 還暦土俵入り) is a ring-entering ceremony (dohyo-iri) performed by a former yokozuna in celebration of his 60th birthday (called kanreki in Japanese). If he is a toshiyori (a sumo elder), the ceremony is usually held at the Ryogoku Kokugikan, the main sumo hall in Tokyo. Those who are not current members of the Japan Sumo Association must hold it at another location. A special red tsuna is created and worn, instead of the usual white tsuna. Reaching your 60th birthday is an important occasion in Japan and is celebrated by wearing a red item. This is commonly known as an akatsuna (赤綱) but this term is unofficial. If the dew-sweeper or sword-bearer is a former yokozuna, he wears his own tsuna.

## **Kanreki performed at Kokugikan**

## **Other Eligible Yokozuna**

Minanogawa Tozo, Akinoumi Setsuo and Wajima Hiroshi also reached the age of sixty years whilst retired, but did not perform a kanreki dohyo-iri (all three had left the sumo world many years before). Kagamisato Kiyoji (Tatsutagawa), Tochinoumi Teruyoshi (Kasugano), Sadanoyama Shinmatsu (Sakaigawa) and Kotozakura Masakatsu (Sadogatake) received red tsuna but did not perform dohyo-iri. Kagamisato and Kotozakura did not perform due to poor health. Similarly Tochinoumi did not perform due to muscle problems in his right arm dating back to his active days. Sadanoyama declined because at the time he had just lost the chairmanship of the Sumo Association in controversial circumstances. Asashio Taro (Takasago) had a red tsuna made, but died aged 58 without performing the ceremony.

Asahifuji was scheduled to perform the kanreki ceremony on 30 May 2020 but the event was postponed owing to the COVID-19 Pandemic. It was eventually held on 3 October 2021 at the Kokugikan.

Makushita Tsukedashi

Makushita tsukedashi (幕下付け出し) is a system where an amateur wrestler who has won one of the four major amateur titles is allowed to skip the bottom three divisions and enter pro sumo at the makushita third highest division at the rank of makushita 15. In the event of achieving two of these titles in the same year, he can begin at makushita 10. The original system has existed since the Taisho era, and until 1966 any wrestler who was a university graduate could enter pro sumo at the bottom of makushita. The system was changed in 1966, and from then until 2001 a wrestler who had achieved success as an amateur would begin at the rank of makushita 60, though the criteria were not as strict as post 2001.
