Takayasu Akira(高安 晃,Takayasu Akira, born February 28, 1990 in Tsuchiura, Ibaraki, Japan) is a sumo wrestler from Tsuchiura, Ibaraki, Japan. He made his professional debut in 2005, and reached the top makuuchi division in 2011, the first wrestler born in the Heisei era to do so. His highest rank has been komusubi. He has been runner up in one tournament and earned four special prizes, two for Fighting Spirit and two for Outstanding Performance.
Early life and sumo background
Takayasu was born and raised in Tsuchiura, Ibaraki, to a Japanese father and a Filipino mother. He was a center fielder on his junior high school baseball team and through his father's recommendation he joined Naruto stable upon graduating from junior high school.
Career
On his entry to Naruto stable, he was already 180 centimeters tall and weighed 120 kilograms, and consequently had much expectation pinned on him from the start. His first tournament was in March, 2005. He made steady progress through the lower divisions, with only a few losing record or make-koshi tournaments. He won the yūshō or championship in the third makushita division in September, 2010 with a perfect 7–0 record. This propelled him into jūryō division, where along with Masunoyama became one of the first two sekitori to be born in the Heisei era. He decided against adopting a traditional shikona despite reaching the elite and will continue to use his birth name. In his first jūryō tournament in November he almost pulled off a second consecutive championship, losing to Toyohibiki in a playoff after both finished with 11–4 records.
In this short video essay, we follow former Ozeki Takayasu who has shown promise in the last March 2022 Grand Sumo Tournament. Has he finally recovered from past injuries and on his way to a miraculous comeback to sumo's 2nd highest rank - Ozeki?
Quick Disclaimer: The "subtitles" in the interview shown on the first part of the video is placed artistically than an accurate translation of what Takayasu is saying in that certain moment. In the whole interview with a TV show in the Philippines (https://youtu.be/HyDA_5VyFk8), he talks about his struggle with sumo and how he isn't able to spend time in his own home because of how sumo takes up all of his time. His statement was where I got my inspiration to write this piece - about how he longs for his home. I thought it was interesting to tie...

Takayasu: Top Ozeki contender?
November may have ended sadly for him, but Takayasu still has more wins than anyone else over the past two tournaments. Will this form take him back to Ozeki in 2023?

His statement was where I got my inspiration to write this piece - about how he longs for his home. I thought it was interesting to tie it back to how he ran away from his stable multiple times during his early days in sumo too. So please, it was artistic... ok? :D :D
Editor's notes:
The reason this video is only 4 minutes long but took me ages to edit is because of the graph shown at 0:35 it took me HOURSSSS to make!!! I had to equate every rank in sumo on a single linear scale so I can make an animated graph on a spreadsheet to show his ups and downs before reaching Makuuchi. And it only appears for less than 10 seconds in the video. T_T But I do it for the love of graphs.
