Ryūhō Masayoshi

Ryūhō Masayoshi (born June 18, 1977 as Keisuke Urazaki) is a former sumo wrestler from Nakagami, Okinawa, Japan.

After over nine years in the unsalaried apprentice ranks, he finally became a sekitori for the first time in November 2002 upon promotion to the second highest jūryō division.

[3] Ryūhō finally announced his retirement on 12 June 2012, citing persistent knee and lower back injuries.

Since his retirement he has been involved in organizing amateur sumo in his native Okinawa prefecture, and has become a Zen Buddhist monk.

Ryūhō was a solidly yotsu-sumo wrestler and nearly half his victories came by using the most common kimarite of yori kiri or force out.
