NICKNAMES

birthday
July 13th, 1998
DEBUT
October 19th, 2022
Goals
I want to be the best and compete for gold at the world championship. Also if sumo ever makes it to the Olympics I would love to represent team USA.
MESSAGE TO SUPPORTERS
To anyone who has supported me or my club, thank you.
HOBBIES
I make things, play banjo, and sing.
FAVORITE MEDIA
I listen to sad cowboy songs and I love reading books. My favorite book is Armor by John Steakly.
FAVORITE RIKISHI
My favorite Rikishi was Yokozuna Chiyonofuji Mitsugu because he did what mattered when it counted.
RIVALRIES
Jay Scriven (Mighty Eagle Sumo), he beats me too often.
TRAVEL GOALS
I would love to travel to Japan to compete. Competing in the birthplace of sumo would bring my sumo to a higher level.
CLUB GOALS
I want Dallas sumo to host a tournament as cool as the grand sumo tournament.
FAVORITE COLOR
My favorite color is purple, because it’s the best.
FAVORITE ANIMAL
My favorite animal is a cow because they live the most peaceful life.
SUMO ADVICE
Stick to it and sign up for tournaments. Competing and meeting other wrestlers is a lot of fun.
before tournaments
I often get nervous mornings of the tournament. To prepare I work hard and watch what I eat, no spicy food or something that might upset my stomach the week of the tournament.
MEMORABLE BOUTS
My last match of Rollertown 2025 against Jay Scriven is my most memorable. After that match I felt like I gave everything I had and could barely stand. It was the first time I felt like I gave my all to sumo.
SUMO STYLE
I do not have my own style yet. Every time I take serious losses, I am always willing to change my style to beat the wrestler across from me.
FUN FACTS
I have two dogs, a red and a blue heeler named Button and The Judge. I work in aerospace and I’ve peed on a rocket that went to space (it blew up on landing).
