Daiki Nakamura

Daiki Nakamura, known in the sumo world as Onosato, is a groundbreaking sumo wrestler who recently became the fastest individual to achieve the prestigious rank of yokozuna in Japan's modern era. At just 24 years old, he has already made waves in the sport, being the first Japanese grand champion since 2017 and securing his position after only 13 tournaments. His rise to prominence is not only a personal triumph but also a significant moment for Japanese sumo, which has seen a dominance of Mongolian wrestlers in recent years. Nakamura hails from Ishikawa Prefecture and is dedicated to uplifting his hometown, particularly after it suffered from a devastating earthquake and tsunami.
