About Wakamotoharu Minato
Wakamotoharu Minato (若元春 港) (born October 5, 1993 as Minato Onami (大波 港, Ōnami Minato)) is a Japanese professional sumo wrestler from Fukushima. He wrestles for the Arashio stable, where he is a stable mate of his brothers Wakatakakage and Wakatakamoto. His highest rank to date has been sekiwake. == Early life and family background == Wakamotoharu comes from a sumo family. His grandfather Wakabayama reached the rank of komusubi and his father, who was a makushita division wrestler, now owns a chankonabe restaurant in Fukushima. Wakamotoharu has an elder brother, Wakatakamoto, and a younger brother, Wakatakakage. All brothers became professional wrestlers between 2009 and 2017 and are currently wrestling for Arashio stable. Although Wakatakamoto has yet to progress beyond the makushita division, Wakatakakage was the first to surpass their grandfather's achievements when he reached the rank of sekiwake in 2022. When the three brothers first entered professional sumo, they were given shikona, or ring names, inspired by the parable of the three arrows of 16th-century warlord Mōri Motonari. Wakamotoharu's ring name is derived from the first kanji of his grandfather's shikona and the name of the second son in the parable, Kikkawa Motoharu.
