Endō Shōta
, born on October 19, 1990 in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, is a professional sumo wrestler with the Oitekaze stable. After a very successful amateur career, he turned professional in March 2013, making the top division that September. He is already extremely popular with Japanese sumo fans and is regarded as one of the most promising home-grown wrestlers in sumo today. ==Early life and sumo background== Endō first began trying out sumo in his primary school years largely to please his father. He did not like sumo at first, but as time went on he became inspired by the spirit and technique of then ''yokozuna'' Asashōryū. He began trying out more techniques and came to love sumo.〔(National student sumo athletes 全国学生相撲選手権:10日開幕…個人戦Vの行方は ) mainichi.jp〕 In his second year of junior high school, he participated in a Kanazawa area sumo competition, where he won the team championship as well as beating the future Tochinosato in a playoff to take the individual championship. In high school, he participated in several team and individual competitions, taking two separate championships. Upon graduation he entered Nihon University as an economics major. From his fourth year he was captain of the sumo team. That year he also took two major national championship titles becoming both the amateur sumo ''yokozuna'' as well as the National Athletic Championship ''yokozuna''. Despite of his great success at sumo thus far, it was a difficult decision for Endō whether or not to go professional, because he had a dream of becoming a teacher.〔(Amateur yokozuna Endo enters Oitekaze stable アマチュア横綱・遠藤、追手風部屋入門を表明 ) YOMIURI ONLINE 2013-3-8 〕
