Baruto Kaito
Baruto Kaito (Japanese把 瑠 都 凯 斗), actually Kaido Höövelson ( born November 5, 1984 in Rakvere, Lääne- Viru ) is a former Estonian sumo wrestler.
Baruto, who began as a judoka in Estonia rose rapidly in the lower leagues of Japanese sumo. He reached the juryo Division in September 2005 Tournament wins and front seats in the lower divisions since his debut in professional sports in May 2004. However, appendicitis prevented his participation in the tournament in November, which he was initially demoted and missed a possible record for the fastest ascent to the top division.
With a 15-0 victory in the March Tournament ( Haru- basho ) In 2006 he made the jump to the Makuuchi Division, the highest division of the Japanese sumo. The last such tournament victory without defeat in the second division had celebrated 1963 Kitanofuji.
In March 2007, he fell due to an injury-related break back into juryo division, but could by a 14-1 victory in the May Tournament ( Natsu- basho ) of the same year again fight his way into the Makuuchi division. In July tournament he suffered in his first fight but again a knee injury that forced him to give up and for Baruto in turn meant the demotion to juryo Division.
There he picked up in the September tournament ( Aki- basho ) his third victory (13-2 ), even though he obviously did not create his injured knee.
After a 14-1 in March Tournament ( Haru- basho ) In 2010 he was promoted to ozeki. In January 2012, he won his first tournament in the Makuuchi division. In September 2012, he had the tournament on the fourth day because of an injury to give up. Even the subsequent tournament in November, he had to give up after the third day. He lost his ozeki rank and was downgraded to sekiwake. In September 2013 he announced his retirement.
The former bouncer Baruto, whose fighting name simply means " Balt ", has an impressive even for a sumo wrestler stature. He began his career in Ringer stable Mihogaseki - Beya, but heard from the Aki Basho 2006 the newly founded Onoe Beya on. The former komusubi Hamanoshima ( Onoe Oyakata ) left the Mihogaseki - Beya and founded his own Ringer stable, but he took a total of six rikishi ( including Baruto ) with.
