Takayasu Akira Biography
Takayasu Akira is one of the most popular and richest Wrestler who was born on February 28, 1990 in Tsuchiura, Japan. Takayasu was the best player for the best division to this point during the tournament in January 2013, finishing second with a score of 12-3. He also won his first Sanho award to honor Fighting Spirit. He scored one gold-star win in 2013 at two different tournaments in maegashira 1 and also against Harumafuji. The second victory against Harumafuji also enabled him to win his very first Outstanding Performance prize, and his first promotion into the San’yaku ranks in the komusubi. The tournament was his only time at this rank after which he went through an uncharacteristic slump before rebounding by winning 11-4 in the tournament held in July 2014. In the November 2014 tournament, He scored against the top-ranked competitors with two gold stars after beating Harumafuji as well as Hakuho and also receiving the award for Outstanding Performance. He was promoted to komusubi again in the first week of 2015, however, the team fell short with a record of 6-9.
Takayasu was back in the maegashira ranks for the first time since May 2016 in the March 2020 tournament. He withdrew on Day 5 after four straight losses, with a left thigh injury.
Back at komusubi in January 2017 Takayasu produced one of his best efforts as he finished in a tie for third place and was awarded the special prize for Fighting Spirit. His 11 wins included victories over yokozuna Kakuryū and Hakuhō and three of the four ōzeki (the fourth ōzeki was his stablemate Kisenosato). In March 2017 Takayasu was back up to sekiwake at West “Sekiwake” #1. Takayasu was able to win his first 10 days straight, the first time he had ever gone 10–0 to start a tournament which put him in contention for the cup. On Day 11 and 12 Takayasu lost against yokozuna Kakuryū and Harumafuji, then on Day 13 lost against Yoshikaze. However, he was able to win the final two days and finish out the tournament with a 12–3 record. For his performance in the tournament he won the Outstanding Performance prize, for the third time. Having 23 wins in the last two tournaments in the titled ranks of san’yaku, it appeared that Takayasu would receive serious attention for promotion to ōzeki if he could achieve around 11 wins or more in the May 2017 tournament. The Chairman of the Japan Sumo Association (JSA), Hakkaku, has called for him to show greater consistency, saying he “is competitive when he follows his winning formula, but he still has many weak points.” Takayasu achieved his target, recording his eleventh win with a victory over Harumafuji on the thirteenth day, and was awarded his second Technique prize. Immediately after the tournament Hakkaku announced that an extraordinary meeting of the JSA board of directors would be convened to consider Takayasu’s promotion. On May 31, Takayasu was officially promoted to ōzeki. During his promotion speech, he was quoted as saying “I will devote myself to sumo and compete fairly so I can live up to my name as ōzeki.”
In his first competition as an Ozeki Takayasu was able to win eight of his first ten games and seemed to be a contender for the title, however four consecutive defeats followed , and his record was of 9-6. The tournament in September included three yokozunas withdraw earlier due to injuries and Takayasu appeared to be in a good position to compete for the title, but the injury to a muscle was within his right leg one of the matches in the afternoon and was forced to pull out. The November tournament was a success. Takayasu was able to win eight matches, which helped him keep his ranking however, he was required to withdraw following Day 12 due to a thigh strain. In January of 2018, he scored his most successful performance as an ozeki. He finished second to the surprise winner Tochinoshin with a record of 12-3. In the tournament of March, Takayasu began the tournament losing two times, but after that he scored 9 consecutive wins after which he was defeated by Chiyomaru. Takayasu was able to win his three final matches, and handed yokozuna Kakuryu who had already won the tournament before Day 15 of the tournament, his second defeat. With a record of 12-3 Takayasu was second to Kakuryu and his fellow third placer Kaisei. He was injured in his left upper arm while training prior to the start of the tournament in May and declared his withdrawal from the first day, even though it was still his intention to participate in the tournament later “I decided to play it safe because I can’t compete in my 100 percent form. I still want to join the tournament if I recover in time.” He was forced to miss the entire tournament and went to Kadoban in July, but it was still his ozeki rank with 9-6 records. He finished runner-up at the 4th time in November of 2018, and finished one win ahead of Takakeisho with a score of 12-3. In July of 2019, he injured his left elbow during his day 8 match against Tamawashi and resigned after securing his majority wins. He was unable to win to Hakuho at the end of Day 11.

After scoring 9-6 in the tournament in November 2011,, he was elevated to a new level of maegashira 3. He only scored 6-9 in the January 2012 tournament however a record of 10-5 in March saw him hit maegashira 1 during the May tournament.
He had to withdraw from a tournament for the first time in his career in September 2015, but recovered with two winning records in the next two tournaments. After a poor performance in March 2016, a 9–6 result in May saw him promoted to komusubi for the third time. At Nagoya in July he produced his first winning record at a san’yaku rank with eleven wins, beating the ōzeki Kotoshōgiku, Goeido and Terunofuji and being awarded the Special Prize for Technique. September saw him at sekiwake for the first time and he was in contention for the championship at 10–2 after twelve days, although he had a somewhat disappointing end to the tournament losing his last three bouts to maegashira ranked wrestlers.
