Details

Sōkokurai Eikichi (born 9 January 1984 as Enhetubuxin) is a former professional sumo wrestler from Inner Mongolia, China. He was the only Chinese national to reach the top makuuchi division. Sōkokurai is of Mongolian descent. He made his professional debut in 2003 and was promoted to the top division in September, 2010. In April 2011 he was ordered to retire by the Japan Sumo Association after being found guilty of involvement in match-fixing. Refusing to do so, he was dismissed. However, in March 2013 his dismissal was nullified by the Tokyo District Court. After the Sumo Association decided not to appeal the decision, he reappeared on the banzuke in July 2013 at the Nagoya Basho, ranked as a maegashira 15, the rank he was at when he was expelled. His highest rank of maegashira 2 was achieved in March 2017. He won one special prize for Technique and one gold star for beating a yokozuna. In 2019 he acquired Japanese citizenship and he retired after the March 2020 tournament to take over Arashio stable.
