The Terunofuji era gets into full swing in the upcoming November Grand Sumo Tournament.
The veteran wrestler made his debut at sumo’s highest rank last time out, but following the retirement of legendary yokozuna Hakuho in September, Terunofuji now finds himself alone atop the banzuke for the first time.
Out of the shadow of arguably the greatest rikishi ever to strap on a mawashi, the Isegahama stable man has a golden chance to cement his own legacy, and figures to do just that by continuing an outstanding recent run of success.
