Mizuta Kento of the Tokiwayama room, who was decided to be promoted to Juryo at the sumo spring place, expressed his determination to "win with Juryo and go to Makuuchi as soon as possible".

I've been sumo wrestling under the Makushita for the past four years, but last year I've won everywhere and gradually increased my ranking.

The first place was the highest in the West Makushita, and it was decided to win with 5 wins and 2 losses and to be promoted to Juryo in the spring place in March.

Mizuta Kento met online and said, "I was delighted when I heard the news of the promotion, but as usual, I was normal."

Regarding the promotion of Juryo in seven years from the first ring, he said, "I was mentally immature, so it took me a long time to grow. If I lost, I would be negative."

On top of that, as an opportunity to change his mentality, he revealed advice from Ozeki and Takakeishō in the same room, and was told to set a goal of "promoting within two years" to the extent that he was an adult. I said.

Regarding future goals, he expressed his determination, "First of all, I want to come to the place first, do the best, and win with ten cars. And I want to go to Makuuchi as soon as possible."
