Rōga Tokiyoshi, a rising sumo wrestler originally from Russia - Republic of Tuva, is competing in the ongoing Kyushu Basho in Fukuoka, Japan. As of November 2024, he holds the rank of East Maegashira #8, marking the highest rank in his career thus far. Rōga has been steadily improving since returning to the top division in March 2024, consistently achieving winning records. His September tournament result of 8-7 has built momentum for his current performances. However, critics note that while he has shown promise, he has yet to secure a standout result in the top division​

The Kyushu Basho, part of the Grand Sumo Tournament series, is expected to conclude on November 24, 2024, with Rōga among the wrestlers aiming to solidify their standings
