Tochisakae Atsushi Biography

Tochisakae Atsushi is one of the most popular and richest Sumo Wrestler who was born on June 27, 1974 in Nakano, Tokyo, Japan.

Okamoto was born and raised in Nakano, Tokyo, although both his parents were from Saga and as he was fond of the city as well he chose to list it as his birthplace on the banzuke ranking sheets when he joined professional sumo. As a child he practised kendo, but was drawn to sumo after entering a Nakano ward Sumo Tournament in the fourth grade and finishing third. He trained at several heya, including Fujishima, Futagoyama and Dewanoumi, and while at middle school he trained at Nihon University Sumo Club with several future top division wrestlers such as Kushimaumi, Hamanoshima and Mainoumi. This led him to Saitama Sakae High School, where he became the High School Yokozuna in 1992.

Rather than go to university, he instead joined Kasugano stable in January 1993 through a connection of his uncle, after graduating straight from high school – the first High School Yokozuna to enter professional sumo in this way. He initially wrestled under his own surname of Okamoto and then used the sumo name of Tochinoiwa, before adopting his familiar name of Tochisakae in January 1999. He progressed through the lower divisions fairly quickly but shortly after winning the yusho in the makushita division he had surgery for empyema and side effects of the anaesthetic saw him lose the use of almost all the muscles in the right side of his body. He refused to miss tournaments, and after a long period of rehabilitation with acupuncture treatment he eventually made a full recovery.
