is a Japanese retired professional sumo wrestler from Nakadomari, Aomori Prefecture. He debuted in professional sumo in January 2013 for à Ânomatsu stable and made his top division debut in May 2017. He won one championship in the second-highest division and four special prizes in his career, as well as two gold stars for defeating a while ranked as a . His highest rank was .
Fumiya Utetsu was born in Nakadomari, a small town on the northern tip of Honshu. Growing up, he enjoyed skiing and snowboarding. He became interested in sumo wrestling at the age of five after encouragement from his grandfather, and began to train at his local gym. When at Nakasato Elementary School, he was trained by Takarafuji, as both are from the same hometown, Takarafuji being in his second year at Goshogawara Commercial High School when à Ânoshà  was in his first year of elementary school. When in elementary school, he also met Takakeishà  and later confessed that he "hated him" but that they have since formed a friendship and a friendly rivalry. When in Nakasato Junior High School, he participated in the very first Hakuhà  Cup in 2010, and his Aomori team won the team competition of that year. After that, he enrolled at Sanbongi Agricultural High School alongside Nishikifuji, and there he notably won the individual competition at the 2012 Gifu National Athletic Sumo Championships. While still an amateur, he and his team would visit the Kindai University sumo club, where à Ânoshà  was thus trained by his senior Tokushà Âryà «, among others. In November 2012, he decided to drop out and turned pro, sharing the same newcomer promotion as Ishiura and Abi. He joined à Ânomatsu stable and adopted the shikona, or ring name, à Ânoshà Â, in reference to his stable and including the kanji for "to bloom" (å²) reflecting the hopes of his master (former sekiwake Masurao).
à Ânoshà  made his professional debut at the age of sixteen in the Osaka tournament in March 2013. He quickly moved through the lower divisions and reached the third highest makushita division in November of the same year. Seven consecutive winning records (kachi-koshi) saw him promoted to the second division (jà «ryà Â) for the January 2015 tournament. This promotion makes à Ânoshà  the 10th youngest juryà  promoted since the Shà Âwa era. This promotion also makes à Ânoshà  the 128th sekitori of Aomori Prefecture and the first since Homarefuji in 2012. Yokozuna Hakuhà  also commented when referring to à Ânoshà  that he was one of the most promising young talents in sumo at the time. Competing against more experienced opponents he however made relatively little impact in his first jà «ryà  run but looked to be maintaining his place in the division before sustaining an injury in November 2015. A 5âÂÂ10 record in March 2016 saw him relegated for the first time in his wrestling career. He rebounded by winning all seven of his bouts in makushita in May and was promoted back up to the second division despite losing in a play-off for the championship to Oyanagi. Over the next six tournaments, à Ânoshà  worked his way up the ranks of jà «ryà  and a 9âÂÂ6 result in March 2017 clinched his promotion to sumo's top division (makuuchi) for the first time.
In his first tournament in the top division à Ânoshà  was assigned the rank of maegashira 14. He recovered from an opening day defeat to Daishà Âmaru to record a 10âÂÂ5 result, with his defeated opponents including other promising young wrestlers such as Hokutofuji, Ishiura and Kagayaki, as well as more experienced foes such as Kaisei and Myà Âgiryà «. His efforts saw him being rewarded with the special prize for Fighting Spirit as well as promotion to maegashira 6 for the next tournament. In the following July tournament he was one of only two wrestlers to defeat the eventual runner-up Aoiyama, and he finished with another 10âÂÂ5 record. In September 2017 at the rank of maegashira 3 he earned a kinboshi by defeating the eventual yà «shà  winner Harumafuji on his way to a second Fighting Spirit prize and a third 10âÂÂ5 record. He thereby became the first rikishi since the 38th yokozuna Terukuni (and thus the first wrestler in the era of the six tournament system) to achieve double-digit records in each of his first three makuuchi tournaments. He was promoted to the san'yaku ranks at komusubi for the November 2017 tournament, becoming only the second wrestler ever from his stable after Wakakà Âyà « in 2012 to achieve this feat. After losing six of his first seven bouts in November, he recovered in the second week of the tournament and secured his majority of wins on the final day. He withdrew from the January 2018 tournament on Day 10 with a posterior cruciate ligament injury to the right knee. The injury kept him out of the following tournament in March and saw him relegated to jà «ryà Â. In May, however, he returned to action and secured his promotion back to the top division as he won the jà «ryà  title by defeating Tsurugishà  and ending the tournament with a 12âÂÂ3 record. In November of the same year, à Ânoshà  ended the tournament with an 11âÂÂ4 record and won his third Fighting Spirit prize after defeating Yutakayama, who was also competing for the prize and would have won it had he won the match. This performance saw him being promoted to east maegashira 6 for the next tournament in which he got an 8âÂÂ7 score. He had an unremarkable 2019, not being able to mount a serious challenge for promotion back to san'yaku. In March 2020, he earned his second kinboshi by defeating Hakuhà  for the first time. He finished the tournament with a 9âÂÂ6 record and the Outstanding Performance prize.
à Ânoshà  withdrew from the May 2022 tournament after fracturing his left rib in his Day 5 loss to Takakeishà Â. In the January 2023 tournament he led the field outright on Day 12 with ten wins and two losses. However he had a disappointing end to the tournament, losing his last three matches and missing out on the Fighting Spirit Prize on Day 15 after being disqualified for a hair-pull on Hà Âshà Âryà «. In the March 2023 basho, à Ânoshà  withdrew on Day 9 following injuries to both of his knees two days earlier. During the rest of the year à Ânoshà  achieved modest results, however, recording a poor score of at the November tournament. This score logically relegated him to the lowest ranks of the makuuchi division.
In the first half of the January 2024 tournament, à Ânoshà  recorded a good performance, keeping himself among the leading wrestlers for the title race. à Ânoshà Â, however, suffered two consecutive defeats at the hands of à Âzeki Kirishima and Yokozuna Terunofuji on Days 10 and 11 respectively, effectively removing him from the title race.
à Ânoshà  withdrew from the July 2024 tournament after suffering three defeats in the first three days, with his medical certificate reporting right ankle arthritis and ligament damage in his right knee requiring about three weeks of treatment. It was later revealed in August that he had undergone ankle surgery. His absence from the July tournament saw him drop to the jà «ryà  division for the first time in six years.
à Ânoshà  suffered poor performances in the last two tournaments of 2024 due to continued right ankle and right knee issues, and had faced certain demotion to the division. On 18 December 2024, the Sumo Association announced à Ânoshà Â's retirement from professional competition. At a press conference the following day, à Ânoshà  said that he would not remain with the Sumo Association and instead join a company that specializes in beauty products using horse ointment. He became emotional when asked about his rivalry with the recently retired Minatogawa (former Takakeishà Â), with whom he had been competing since elementary school days, saying that he was unable to express his thanks to him until retiring.
à Ânoshà Â's retirement ceremony was held at the Ryà Âgoku Kokugikan on 1 June 2025, with some 400 individuals taking turns snipping the before the final cut was made by stablemaster à Ânomatsu (former Daidà Â).
à Ânoshà  had a preference for oshi techniques (pushing and thrusting) rather than grasping his opponent's mawashi or belt. His most common kimarite or winning move was oshidashi (frontal push-out), responsible for 41 percent of his career victories. His style was regarded as aggressive, with him looking to move forward and finish the match as quickly as possible. However, since his 2018 injury layoff, he had sought to add more variety to his technique.
à Ânoshà  is known for his love of music, and is also very fond of karaoke. He is married with three children.
