Biography
Takanofuji Sanzo (born 13 May 1997 as Tsuyoshi Kamiyami) is a professional sumo wrestler from Sakai, Ibaraki, Japan. His highest rank has been jūryō 5. He is the twin brother of makuuchi division wrestler Takagenji. He previously wrestled under the shikona of Takayoshitoshi and made his jūryō debut in March 2018. However he withdrew partway through that tournament and was suspended from the next for assaulting his personal attendant after a match. This resulted in him falling back to the makushita division. He returned to jūryō in March 2019, and in July 2019 had his best result in the division, an 11–4 record. However he was withdrawn by his stablemaster Chiganoura from the September 2019 tournament after it emerged that he had once again assaulted an attendant after a practice session on Aug 31. The incident is being investigated by the Japan Sumo Association's compliance committee.
