Former sumo wrestler Takakeisho back in the spotlight

Original: 貴景勝

Former ozeki Takakeisho, who retired from sumo in late 2024 and took the elder name Minatogawa, is drawing attention in Japan. He appeared on the NHK programme Switch Interview, saying the show let him relive the happiest days of his junior high and high school years. In other coverage he spoke candidly about life after competition, joking about casual details of daily routines in a light-hearted interview that has amused fans.

Why now: The retired ozeki has been giving relaxed media interviews since leaving the ring, and fans are enjoying his candid new persona.
