Masayo Ozeki was born. On September 30, the Japan Sumo Association held a numbering meeting and an extraordinary board meeting at the location of the Grand Sumo November (the first day of November 8, Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan) at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, and obtained the first victory in the Grand Sumo Autumn Place. Masayo Sekiwaki (28 = Tokizu style) who decorated the event decided to be promoted to Ozeki. New Ozeki has been around since Asanoyama in March of this year. It is the first time in 57 years since Toyoyama, the former president, from the Tokizu style ward, and 58 years since Tochimitsu in July 1987 from Kumamoto prefecture.

Director Kagamiyama (ex Sekiwaki Tagaryu) and Judge Tachikawa (ex Sekiwaki Tosanoumi) went to a courtroom in Sumida Ward, Tokyo as messengers, and a communication ceremony was held. Informed that the promotion to Ozeki was decided unanimously, Masayo said: “I am honored to accept it. I will continue the sumo wrestling with a sincere and constant spirit so as not to be ashamed of the name of Ozeki.” ..

“Consistent sincerity” was “recommended by sponsors,” he said. “It’s a good idea to look it up. I told you to use it.” In the words of Chinese literary scholar Mengko, it means “stick with sincerity to the end.” Masayo revealed: “I decided with the idea of ​​being sincere and sticking to sumo wrestling.”

He said, “I’m relieved for the moment. Little by little I became nervous and slept lightly. (In the mouth) I could say it without stopping, so it’s fair.” As the new Ozeki, he said: “I can’t lose more than ever. I’m in a position with various responsibilities, so I wish I could dedicate myself to it.”

Masayo won national politics at Kumamoto Agricultural High School, earned a track record with student Yokotsuna and fans in the sophomore year at Tokyo Agricultural University, and stepped on the first bale in the spring of 2014.

And in the fall venue, he scored the first win as a Kumamoto-born powerman with a good result of 13 wins and 2 losses.
