Sumo Wrestler Kitaseiho Facing Severe Punishment for Assault and Retirement Due to Injury

Beiqingpeng

On the 21st, interviews with related parties revealed that Sumo makuuchi wrestler Kitaseiho (22, Miyagino Stable) had attacked several brothers and disciples. The Japan Sumo Association will hold an extraordinary council meeting on the 23rd to decide on the punishment.

On January 19 this year, the sixth day of the first location, it was announced that Hokuseiho would be closing. It was the day after he won a heated battle with Shonan Noumi that lasted 2 minutes and 25 seconds. The reason is the aggravation of old lesions. On the 20th, a medical certificate was presented to the federation attesting to a “lesion to the meniscus of the right knee” and he would be operated on on February 5th.

Kita Seiho, who competed in the spring tournament last year, wowed the ring with his “sub-standard” sumo wrestling that takes advantage of his gigantic body, which stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 400 pounds. However, long sumo wrestling matches while standing passively seemed to take a toll on his old knee injuries. His teacher, Master Miyagino (formerly Yokozuna Hakuho), complained, “That kind of sumo is not good. I want you to take this opportunity to reconsider your sumo.” I want a new Kita Seiho to emerge,” he said, leaving a “meaningful” comment.

Regarding the assault of Kita Seiho, the Compliance Committee took a serious look at the situation after a person related to the attacked sumo wrestler filed a complaint with the Sumo Association earlier this year and launched an investigation . During his first tournament, he interviewed Kitaseiho and his teacher Miyagino Oyakata (formerly Yokozuna Hakuho) several times. Interviews continued after the event and a meeting held at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo on the same day is believed to have summarized the arrangements and progress to be reported to the Special Board of Directors. It is inevitable that Kitaseiho will suffer a severe punishment such as suspension. There is a high possibility that the commander will also be asked about his supervisory responsibilities and will be demoted. Kita Seiho, who was summoned to a committee meeting, said only that he was “honestly remorseful” and immediately got into a taxi.
