Former sumo wrestler Toyonoshima on the heavy price of injury

Original: 関脇

Former sumo sekiwake Toyonoshima has spoken publicly about how injuries devastated his finances, saying his annual income fell from around 100 million yen to about 1 million yen once he could no longer compete. His account of money lost while trying to stay on the sumo ring, or dohyo, is drawing wide attention in Japan, with many reacting to how little financial protection wrestlers have when careers end abruptly.

Why now: His candid revelation about the financial toll of injuries is resonating amid debate over wrestlers' welfare.
