Kotozakura Masakatsu II
Japanese sumo wrestler
Biography
Kotozakura Masakatsu (Japanese: 琴櫻 将傑; born 19 November 1997 as Masakatsu Kamatani (鎌谷 将且, Kamatani Masakatsu)) is a Japanese professional sumo wrestler from Matsudo. He wrestles for Sadogatake stable, a sumo stable previously run by his grandfather, former yokozuna Kotozakura, and currently run by his father, former sekiwake Kotonowaka. He made his debut in November 2015 and reached the top makuuchi division in March 2020, reaching the san'yaku ranks in January 2023. His highest rank has been ōzeki. He has won one championship in the top division and five special prizes for Fighting Spirit, as well as one Technique prize.
Long before his professional debut, Kotozakura's goal was to follow in his grandfather's footsteps and inherit his ring name if he was ever promoted to the rank of ōzeki, something he had been repeating regularly since his promotion to sekitori status. Following his ōzeki promotion at the end of the January 2024 tournament, he said that he planned to inherit the Kotozakura name starting in May 2024. Prior to taking the Kotozakura name, he was known professionally as Kotonowaka Masahiro (琴ノ若 傑太).
