Wakamotoharu Minato born October 5, 1993 is a Japanese professional sumo wrestler from Fukushima (city). He wrestles for the Arashio stable, where he is a heya (sumo) stable mate of his brothers Wakatakakage Atsushi and Wakamotoharu. [1]
In December 2021 the Japan Sumo Association relaeased the banzuke for the January 2022 tournament, and he was promoted to the top makuuchi division, joining his younger brother Wakatakakage.[2] Wakamotoharu and Wakatakakage are the 12th pair of brothers to both be ranked in the top division at the same time.[3] He is the second member of Arashio stable to make the top division following Wakatakakage in November 2019, and the first since the current stablemaster, ex-maegashira Sokokurai, took over.[4]
