Timeline

Takarafuji Daisuke (宝富士 大輔) is a Japanese professional sumo wrestler.

1933

He beat Hakuhō again on the 5th day of the July tournament in Nagoya, ending the Yokozuna's 33 bout winning streak.

He ended the tournament with a 10–5 record and was awarded the special prize for Fighting Spirit.

2009

He made his professional debut in January 2009, reaching the top makuuchi division in July 2011.

The highest rank he has reached is sekiwake.

He has not missed a bout in his career to date.

From the third grade of elementary school, Sugiyama began practicing at a sumo dōjō near his home and began participating in national amateur sumo tournaments in junior high school.

This exposure soon had him being scouted by several sumo stables.

He chose to first finish high school and went on to university.

He graduated from Kinki University in Osaka.

Upon his graduation, the former Yokozuna Asahifuji, who had previously attended the same high school and university as Sugiyama, invited him to join Isegahama stable of which Asahifuji was head coach.

Sugiyama's professional sumo career began in January 2009.

He took the shikona of Takarafuji from the beginning, following the practice at Isegahama of wrestlers taking a ring name at the beginning rather than waiting for a promotion opportunity as most stables do.

He advanced quickly through the lower ranks.

He narrowly lost the jonokuchi championship in his debut, losing in a playoff.

He then posted an impressive 6-1 in his jonidan division debut in the next tournament.

In the following July 2009 tournament, he won the sandanme division championship with a perfect record and a playoff win.

His progress slowed only slightly on entering the tougher makushita division.

2010

Through to July 2010 he posted only one losing tournament, and was promoted to the jūryō second division in September 2010.

His promotion from makushita 2 to jūryō 12 was higher than normal due to seven other wrestlers being suspended for gambling on baseball.

2011

Regardless of being put at a higher rank than his record had yet warranted, he excelled, posting four consecutive winning records and advancing to the top-tier makuuchi division in July 2011 at maegashira 10.

His debut in the division would turn out to be the same tournament that his stablemate, ōzeki Harumafuji would win the championship.

This auspicious debut did little for his record, and an unimpressive 4–11 record had him demoted.

For four tournaments, he alternated between losing records in makuuchi that bounced him down to jūryō where he would post an impressive enough record to achieve top-tier promotion again.

2012

Though he only posted a 6–9 record at maegashira 14 in the March 2012 tournament, unimpressive performances by many wrestlers in nearby ranks allowed him to stay in the makuuchi division at the bottom maegashira 16 rank for the May 2012 tournament.

In this tournament he would finally post his first winning record, being in the championship race until late in the tournament before several consecutive losses knocked him out of the running.

Since this time, he has been a managed to stay in the top division for the better part of three years, posting roughly alternating winning and losing tournaments, and was only demoted to jūryō once in November 2012 before bouncing right back into the top division.

2015

He earned his first kinboshi or gold star for defeating Yokozuna Kakuryū in the January 2015 tournament, but he missed out on a first special prize and promotion to the san'yaku ranks after he failed to win on the final day and ended with a make-koshi 7–8 record.

Winning records in March and May saw him promoted to komusubi for the first time but a 4–11 result in July saw him return to the rank and file.

2016

He managed only four wins in September but returned to form with ten wins in November and a winning record in January 2016 led to him being made komusubi again for the March tournament.

In this tournament he defeated Hakuhō on the opening day, his first win over the Yokozuna in eleven attempts.

He was promoted to his highest rank to date of sekiwake for the following September 2016 tournament, but could only score 4–11 and was demoted.

He remained in the maegashira ranks for the rest of his makuuchi career.

Event though he was defeated by fellow maegashira and former sekiwake Myōgiryū, Takarafuji celebrated his 1200th match since his professional debut on the 12th day of the July 2023 tournament.

Takarafuji recorded only six wins against nine losses from maegashira 16 in the January 2024 tournament, meaning a likely fall to jūryō for the following tournament for the first time since November 2012 and leaving him ten short of 1000 consecutive matches in the top division.

Takarafuji confirmed that he would continue in jūryō and would not be retiring.

Takarafuji is a yotsu–sumo wrestler who prefers a Hidari–yotsu, or right hand outside and left hand inside grip on his opponent's mawashi. His most common winning kimarite are the two most popular techniques in sumo, yorikiri or force out, and oshidashi or push out.

On his promotion to the top division, his passing resemblance to the celebrity Matsuko Deluxe was noted by the Japanese media.

2017

He announced his marriage to a 24-year-old former dental assistant in December 2017, which had been registered in September.
