Onosho was forced to retire due to his knee injuries. Onosho will be working at a skin care company that specialises in horse oil.

Retired due to an eye injury that kept him out of recent tournaments. Despite aiming for a comeback, he was unable to return to the dohyo, leading to his decision to retire.

Suffering from pain in both knees and chronic diabetes, Terunofuji fully competed in only two of the six grand tournaments last year.

Approaching age 30, he felt his reactions had slowed and decided it was time. He stated he had “no regrets” and had “done everything” he wanted to do in sumo.

According to a report from the Nanto City news, he decided to retire due to reaching his physical limits.

Retired after an injury halted his attempt to climb from jonokuchi back to sekitori status, capped by a losing record in 2024-09. Unable to regain sekitori rank, he chose to retire and will not remain with the JSA, instead working in the restaurant industry.

Ended a 20-year career. Standing only 168 cm tall, he was known for low, twisting techniques and soared as high as Makushita 3. However, since 2023-09, he had been off the banzuke due to continuous absences and ultimately never returned to competition.
