Ryūden Gōshi (
Early career and background
He is the youngest of three brothers and have a
Ryūden was however promoted to jūryō after scoring a perfect 7–0 record and taking the
However Ryūden suffered a fracture of his right hip joint in his jūryō debut in November and had to withdraw from the tournament. During his long injury recuperation he made two abortive attempts to return, breaking the hip twice more. This resulted in him falling all the way down to
Makuuchi career
Ryūden was promoted to the top makuuchi division in January 2018, becoming the second top division wrestler from Takadagawa stable (after Kagayaki) to achieve this feat since the new head coach took over.[7] At the time of his promotion, he was the first Yamanashi Prefecture native to be ranked in makuuchi since Ōnohana in March 1988, and the seventh postwar wrestler from this prefecture to achieve this promotion.[7] He was also the second wrestler in sumo history, after Kotobeppu, to earn a promotion to makuuchi after being relegated to the jonokuchi division.[7]
He scored ten wins in his top division debut and shared the
Suspension
Ryūden was withdrawn from the May 2021 tournament by his stablemaster, after the latter was tipped off by Ryūden's wife about a cheating affair.[15] Takadagawa accused Ryūden of having breached COVID-19 compliance guidelines.[16][17] After an investigation by the compliance department of the Sumo Association, it was found that on 25 different occasions between 12 March 2020, and 20 January 2021, Ryūden had gone out with several adulterous women, breaking the rules on unnecessary trips.[18] Ryūden was therefore suspended for three tournaments retroactive to the May basho; he was eligible to compete again in November.[18]
Return to competition
When Ryūden competed again after his suspension in November 2021, he entered the competition at the rank of makushita 47. He commented that since the Sumo Association had let him continue to fight, he now had no choice but to fight without shame,[19] while staying away from the press for a while.[20] Ryūden won the makushita division title with a perfect 7–0 record.[21] Thanks to his championship victory, he was promoted to makushita 5 and during this period he was competing to win a second tournament in a row but was beaten on the final day by Gōnoyama (then called Nishikawa).[22] He however earned a promotion to the jūryō division for the March 2022 tournament, where he won his first championship in that division.[23] After the May tournament of the same year, where he scored a 9–6 record, he won the jūryō division again in July, leading to his promotion back to the makuuchi division.[24] On his return to sumo's top division, he finished just a few victories behind the tournament winner (junyūshō), maegashira Tamawashi, notably achieving a seven-match winning streak.[25] Ryūden was subsequently promoted to maegashira 6.
Fighting style
Ryūden is a yotsu sumo specialist who prefers grappling techniques. His favourite winning kimarite is yori-kiri, with a moro-zashi hold, or both arms inside his opponent's.
Personal life
In February 2019, Ryūden announced his engagement to his partner, a nurse named Mai Fukumaru, after a four-year relationship.
