Akiko Kentaro (34, stage name Tsurugisho), a former first division player in Japanese sumo who drew attention for his announcement of marriage to an active crew member earlier this year, leaves the sand with a somewhat disappointing result of losing all 15 games. He drew attention on the sand with an overwhelming 200kg weight, the most active weight, but a chronic knee injury hampered him.
On the 6th, multiple media outlets, including Japan's 'Chunichi Sports', said, "Abuiko submitted an application for retirement to the Japanese Sumo Association today. The association repaired it," the report said.
According to local reports, Abiko played in the second division, Juryo, in the spring tournament held in March, but announced his retirement without winning a single game in 15 games. It is the first time since 2020 that all 15 losses have been made in the second division. As the poor performance made it clear that the third division would fall due to this poor performance, he seems to have decided to retire in the end.
Abiko stepped into the professional stage challenge in 2014. After that, he began to use the stage name "Thurgisho" with promotion to the second division in 2016, and in 2019, he succeeded in entering the first division, which is the dream stage. Even Avico was noted for his 10-5 record in his debut season, ranking sixth in the first division.
However, Avico, who weighed 200 kilograms, could not overcome his chronic injury in the end. "Daily" analyzed that a knee injury was crucial to Abiko's decision to retire. According to reports, Avico was in a difficult state to play a normal game due to a sore left knee that had already worsened during the tournament in March.
In addition, Avico appeared to be agonizing over whether to retire until the last day of the tournament, saying, "I haven't decided 100% whether to retire," but it seems that he finally confirmed his retirement from active duty after a long period of exhaustion.
In particular, the reason why this retirement is even more regrettable is the recent slope. Local media such as "Nikkan Sports" re-examined the news that Abiko completed her marriage registration with Yukawa, an active airline cabin crew member, in January this year.
Fans are also increasingly disappointed by the Red Card of the complete defeat ahead of the wedding and reception in June. Abiko, who had an overwhelming physique of 200 kilograms, will leave Sumopan and start her second life. The Japan Sumo Association said it plans to hold an official retirement press conference for Abiko soon.
