Profile

Keiga Yuto (恵雅 悠斗 · furigana けいが ゆうと) is a professional sumo wrestler born September 2, 2007 in Otawara City, Tochigi Prefecture. His real name is Onodera Yuto (小野寺 悠斗) — his shikona keeps his given name (悠斗) and replaces only the family name. He competes for Futagoyama Stable (二子山部屋) and made his professional debut at the March 2023 Haru Basho.

Per the Japan Sumo Association's official profile, Keiga stands 185.5cm and weighs 126kg. At 185.5cm he is among the taller wrestlers at Futagoyama Stable; his weight, at 126kg, is moderate for his height — typical for a wrestler still in his late teens. He shares his home city of Otawara with several stablemates, including Mita Taiki, Soma Shinya, Shunta and Kotakiyama Kento — a Tochigi cluster that gives the stable a strong regional flavor.

Keiga's career-high rank is Sandanme 58 (三段目五十八枚目). As of the March 2026 Haru Basho he is ranked East Jonidan 20 (東序二段二十枚目), working back toward the third division. The pattern of slipping back from a career-high rank and then climbing again is the normal rhythm of the lower divisions, where 4-3 winning records earn promotion and 3-4 losing records bring demotion.

Height in professional sumo is a double-edged attribute. Tall wrestlers can enjoy advantages in reach and certain throwing techniques, but a higher center of gravity makes balance and stability more demanding. At 18 years old, Keiga has years of physical and technical development ahead of him, and his next milestones are simply to string together winning records in Jonidan and return to Sandanme.

FAQ

Who is Keiga Yuto?
Keiga Yuto (恵雅 悠斗) is an 18-year-old professional sumo wrestler from Otawara, Tochigi, competing for Futagoyama Stable. He stands 186cm tall — making him one of the tallest wrestlers in the stable — and is currently ranked East Jonidan 20. He joined the stable in 2023 and is still developing his sumo fundamentals in the early phase of his career.
What is Keiga's current rank?
As of the March 2026 basho, Keiga Yuto is ranked East Jonidan 20 (東序二段二十枚目). The Jonidan division is the second-lowest in professional sumo, above Jonokuchi but below Sandanme, Makushita, and the salaried Juryo and Makuuchi divisions. Reaching the Sandanme division is his next milestone.
How tall is Keiga Yuto and why does height matter in sumo?
Keiga Yuto stands 186cm tall, making him taller than the vast majority of sumo wrestlers. In the sport, height provides advantages in reach, leverage from above, and certain throwing and pushing techniques. However, it also raises the center of gravity, making balance work more critical. At 18 years old and 126kg, Keiga has significant room to add weight and strength — as he does, his tall frame will become increasingly formidable. Historical examples like former Yokozuna Hakuho (192cm) show what extraordinary height can achieve with the right development.
