Former sekiwake of the sumo wrestling, Kaisei from Brazil retired and succeeded to the name of "Tomodsuna" in the name of Toshiyori.
Kaisei of the Oshima stable is 35 years old from Brazil.
He is 1m 93cm and 197kg.
He made a new start at the skill examination place in May 2011, and won 8 wins and 7 losses in the summer place of 2016, which became the new Komusubi, and sat down at the sekiwake, his highest rank, at the following Nagoya place.
After that, he was back and forth between Makuuchi and Juryo due to injuries, etc., but in July, when he faced the 11th Juryo in the East, he lost greatly with 5 wins and 10 losses at the Nagoya tournament, and the autumn tournament ranking announced on the 29th. So I dropped the number to the top of the makushita.
The Japan Sumo Association approved Kaisei's retirement and succession to the name of Tomotsuna at a board meeting on the 29th.
