The brother sekitori duo, Asakoryu and Asasuiryu, fought with all their might in a place that holds special meaning to them. During the Spring Basho held in their home prefecture of Osaka, Asakoryu (M12) finished with a 9-6 record, while Asasuiryu (J2) finished 6-9. Although they couldn’t both secure a kachi-koshi in their hometown, they fought through all 15 days while overcoming profound grief.
In truth, on the morning of February 27, just before the tournament began, their mother, Naomi Ishizaki, passed away at the young age of 58. The brothers expressed their firm resolve to achieve their mother’s dream: for both of them to participate in the Makuuchi ring-entering ceremony together and eventually reach the Sanyaku ranks simultaneously.

- Tears on the Final Day: "My Mother in Heaven Can Say She's Proud..."
In the dressing room after his final match on the last day, Asakoryu wept openly. After revealing his mother's death to the press—a secret he had kept bottled up until then—he covered his face with a towel, unable to hold back the tears.
"My mother passed away before the tournament, and I fought with the mindset that I had to work even harder," he said, his voice trembling. "I promised her I would reach the Sanyaku ranks by the end of this year. I will keep doing my best so that my mother in heaven can call me her 'proud son.' That was her wish."
Naomi was diagnosed with cancer about three years ago. It was already Stage 4, having metastasized from the duodenum to the liver. Asakoryu reflected: "It was right around the time I was promoted to Juryo. Even though she was told she only had one year to live back then, she fought hard. I'm glad I was able to show her that I made it to the Makuuchi division."
The younger brother, Asasuiryu, initially entered the workforce as a teacher after graduating from Nippon Sport Science University. However, a year later, he knocked on the door of the Takasago stable. His primary motivation was to fulfill Naomi’s wish. "My mother wanted me to enter professional sumo. I can always become a teacher again, but I felt I could only do sumo now. I’m glad I was able to show her my form as a sekitori," he shared.
- Gratitude for the Fate of Being There at the End
On the morning of February 27, nine days before the opening of the Spring Basho, the brothers received word that their mother’s condition had worsened. They rushed to their family home in Shijonawate, Osaka. Their mother clung to her fading consciousness, waiting for her sons to arrive. She passed away about ten minutes after they reached her side. "Considering we were told 'one year' three years ago, she lasted a long time, but at only 58... it's too soon," Asakoryu admitted.
During the tournament, Asakoryu had secretly confided his thoughts: "By passing away right before the Osaka tournament, rather than during it, she was thinking of us until the very end. She used to say, 'I don’t want my death to hold you guys back.' It’s no exaggeration to say I’ve continued sumo just to make her happy. Her final words were, 'Ryuma (Asasuiryu) is mentally weak, so look after him.' She was worried about sumo until the end. If I become weak now, I can't honor her memory."
While grateful for the fate that allowed them to be present for her final moments, they entered the tournament with fierce determination. Fellow Maegashira Oshoma, a classmate of Asakoryu’s from Nittaidai, rushed to the funeral to help carry the casket. Flowers were also sent by the Yokozuna Onosato, who was a junior to Asakoryu and a classmate to Asasuiryu. Naomi had dreamed so fervently of her sons' success that she had decided on the ring name "Asasuiryu" even before he joined the stable. She was sent off by many figures from the sumo world who mourned her passing.
- A Rare Upbringing: 1,300 Push-ups a Day Directed by Mom
In a rare case for a sumo family, it was the mother, not the father, who imposed a grueling training menu on the brothers. It began when Asakoryu was in the second grade. After losing in the first round of a local "Wanpaku Sumo" tournament in Shijonawate, Naomi bought a punching bag. She mandated that he repeatedly hit it like a tackle and perform 1,300 push-ups every single day.
As a result, Asakoryu won the same tournament the following year. At the invitation of officials, he began formal training at the Shijonawate Sumo Federation in third grade, and Asasuiryu eventually followed the same path.
To support the brothers, a local fan club was established after the Spring Basho. Before the tournament, children from the Shijonawate Sumo Federation visited the Takasago stable to train with them. The brothers have grown into the "locally beloved wrestlers" their mother hoped for. Though Asasuiryu missed his winning record, his final match against Kitanowaka was full of spirit. He gripped the belt and forced his opponent out with forward momentum. Afterward, he spoke bravely without tears: "During the tournament, I tried not to think about [her death]. Since I couldn't get a winning record, I'll work toward the Makuuchi division next tournament."
The 49th-day memorial service was held on April 16, but neither brother could attend as they were on the regional tour in Yokohama. That day, Asasuiryu looked forward: "As long as we are wrestlers, our mother understands why we can't be there. Regarding my feelings... it’s been a month and a half, so I have to keep pushing. I have to work hard."
They cannot afford to stop. The journey to repay their mother—who was strict, scary, and yet raised them with deep affection—is only halfway complete.
