Ukrainian ozeki Aonishiki, real name Danylo Yavhusishyn, clinched his second consecutive championship at the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament in Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan by defeating maegashira No. 4 Atamifuji in a playoff after both finished with 12-3 records. The 21-year-old, who fled the war in Ukraine three years ago, became the first Ukrainian to win an Emperor's Cup following his victory at the Kyushu tournament in November. His rapid rise is captivating the sumo world.
In recent years, more sumo wrestlers have been competing under their real names, which is helping to popularize even common Japanese names. No. 5 maegashira Yoshinofuji, who earned the Technique Prize at last month's Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament, had been fighting as Kusano until the previous Autumn tournament.
