About Chiyotairyū Hidemasa
Chiyotairyū Hidemasa is a former Japanese professional sumo wrestler from Arakawa, Tokyo, Japan. A former amateur champion at university, he made his professional debut in May 2011, as a makushita tsukedashi recruit and reached the top division in May 2012.

He wrestled for Kokonoe stable. Fighting back from falling to makushita 46 in the following July tournament, he posted two consecutive 6–1 records, and then a 4–3 record in the November 2011 tournament to achieve promotion to the salaried jūryō ranks. His success continued as he took the championship in his January 2012 debut with a 13–2 record. It was the first time since World War II that a makushita tsukedashi wrestler had withdrawn from his debut tournament, and he was criticized by some commentators for ducking a challenge.
