A 188cm 'flower boy' sumo wrestler boasting model-like proportions and appearance has emerged in the Japanese sumo world, sparking widespread discussion.

Japan's 'Abema Times' reported on the 24th that "on the final day of the May Oozumo tournament held at the Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan, a slender sumo wrestler stepped onto the dohyo (sumo ring) and received intense attention from fans."

The subject of the buzz is Raiahate, ranked 41st in Jonidan, the second-lowest of the six sumo divisions. Born in 2006, he is 20 years old this year, standing 188cm tall and weighing 105.3kg.

The average weight of main fighters competing at the highest sumo rank, 'Makuuchi' (first division), exceeds 150 to 160kg. In contrast, Raiahate, despite his tall stature of 188cm, weighs only 105kg. In the sumo world dominated by heavy and massive physiques, he possesses a lean body type closer to that of a volleyball or basketball player.

Such a slim physical condition and handsome appearance, sharply contrasting with typical sumo wrestlers, have left a strong impression on fans. The media also noted, "In the sumo world where bulky physiques are the norm, his slender build is rare and gives him a unique presence."

When Raiahate appeared on the dohyo on the final day of the tournament, fans reacted enthusiastically. They praised his appearance and physique, saying, "His face is really small," "His proportions are excellent," and "He's a complete flower boy idol."

Raiahate faced Arumi, ranked 57th in Jonidan, and secured a victory. The smaller-framed Arumi charged forward to decide the match but fell on his own, while Raiahate also lost his balance and fell on his bottom. After reviewing the challenge, the referees upheld the initial ruling and declared Raiahate the winner.

Meanwhile, Raiahate finished the tournament with 6 wins and 1 loss, while Arumi ended with 5 wins and 2 losses. In Jonidan, rookie Shosei, born in 2008, achieved a perfect record to win the championship.
