Tochinoshin’s danpatsu-shiki [retirement ceremony] will be held at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan on Sunday, February, 4.

Georgian sumo wrestler Levan Gorgadze [Tochinoshin] retired during the May 2023 tournament after losing his first 5 jūryō contests. At a press conference, he told reporters that he had become fearful of wrestling because his left shoulder injury from January was worsening. He said in an interview in June 2023 that he would continue to live in Japan.

Tochinoshin entered 74 professional sumo tournaments and scored 27 wins since his debut in March 2006. Over the 17 years on the rink, he won three Juryo Division Championships and two Makushita Division titles.
