The most consecutive sumo bouts is 1,763, achieved by Tamawashi Ichiro (Japan, b. Batjargal Munkh-Orgil, Mongolia) from 2004 to 25 January 2026.
Tamawashi surpassed Aobajo’s record of 1,630 consecutive sumo bouts on Day 3 (10 September) of the 2024 Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament. Tamawashi missed two bouts during the July 2022 tournament on account of COVID protocols, but the Japan Sumo Association ruled that his streak should be regarded as unbroken.
