Kakuryu granted Japanese citizenship, can manage stable : The Asahi Shimbun

Yokozuna Kakuryu has acquired Japanese citizenship, which could open the door to becoming a stablemaster after he retires from the dohyo.  An application for Japanese citizenship from Kakuryu, 35, who was born in Mongolia as Mangaljalav Anand, has been granted, according to an official government gazette published on Dec. 10. It marks a big step for Kakuryu to be eligible to remain in the Japan Sumo Association (JSA) and become a stablemaster after retirement, which could be on the horizon after an injury-plagued year. Kakuryu came to Japan in 2001. He has won six Emperor Cups, with the most recent coming at the Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament in July 2019.
