Who is Baruto Kaito?

Baruto Kaito is a former professional sumo wrestler from Estonia. Making his debut in May 2004, he was one of only two Estonians ever to join the sport in Japan, and the first to reach the top division, which he achieved after just two years in sumo in May 2006. After suffering a number of injury problems in 2007 which delayed his progress, he reached the third highest rank of sekiwake in November 2008, and was promoted to ōzeki rank after finishing the March 2010 tournament with a score of 14–1. He has been a tournament runner-up four times and earned five special prizes for Fighting Spirit, one for Outstanding Performance and one for Technique. In the 2012 January tournament he recorded his first top division championship. He lost his ōzeki rank after more injury problems at the end of 2012, and having fallen greatly in rank after withdrawing from the May 2013 tournament, he announced his retirement in September of that year at the age of 28.
