About Baruto Kaito
Kaido Höövelson, known professionally as Baruto Kaito, is an Estonian politician and former professional sumo wrestler. Making his debut in May 2004, he reached the top division after just two years in sumo in May 2006. After suffering a number of injury problems in 2007 which delayed his progress, he reached the third-highest rank of sekiwake in November 2008, and was promoted to ōzeki rank after finishing the March 2010 tournament with a score of 14–1. He was a tournament runner-up four times before recording a top division championship in the 2012 January tournament. During his career Baruto also earned five special prizes for Fighting Spirit, one for Outstanding Performance and one for Technique. He lost his ōzeki rank after more injury problems at the end of 2012, and having fallen greatly in rank after withdrawing from the May 2013 tournament, he announced his retirement in September of that year at the age of 28. Baruto won the jūryō division March 2006 honbasho tournament with a perfect 15–0 result. He played basketball as a teenager and also won a national judo championship in Estonia. This was only the fourth time ever that a jūryō wrestler has won the championship with such a record.
