The Next Great Sumo Stars? 10 Young Wrestlers to Watch

Who’s going to become the next great star in sumo? In this video, I rank my top 10 young sumo prospects, from promising wrestlers climbing through the lower divisions to rising stars already making an impact in makuuchi. My rules? Each wrestler must: • Be under 25 years old at the start of the September 2026 tournament • Have competed in at least one professional tournament • Never have reached the san’yaku ranks • Have participated in fewer than six top-division tournaments Who did I rank too high? Who should have made the list? Who is far too low?
