Appearance[]

Personality[]

Abilities[]

He is notorious for using Left Arm Clamp to set up his throws, but unlike his son, he knows when to pull back to ensure opponents are not injured in matches. Like Hinomaru, he was also considered a short fighter, so he also uses lower center of gravity to railroad opponents.

History[]

When Yamatokuni faced Jino, he was defeated without being able to lift a finger. The next day Yamatokuni announced his retirement.[1]

Some time after retiring. Yamatokuni began coaching Hinomaru Ushio during his time in middle school.[2]

Seiichi never let his son wrestle since he lacked restraint. When Sosuke returned to fight at the Inter-High against Shidō for the semi finals of the individual bouts, where the title of the second high school Yokozuna is at stake, he realized that his son had honed his serene mentality of fighting, and watched as he managed to defeat Shidō by forcing him out after a long and evenly-fought match.
