Oosunaarashi

Osunaarashi Kintaro (??? ???) (born February 10, 1992 as Abdelrahman Shalan) is a retired sumo wrestler from Egypt. He was the first pro sumo wrestler from the African continent. Osunaarashi, whose chosen ring name translates into English as "great sandstorm", rose quickly through the unsalaried ranks, gaining the interest of Japanese media and popularity among sumo fans.
Osunaarashi was promoted to the top tier makuuchi division for the November 2013 tournament.
He emerged victorious from his first two matches against yokozuna ranked wrestlers in July 2014.
He dropped in rank after injury problems and was forced to retire in March 2018 after being involved in a traffic accident when he was driving without a valid license.
After leaving sumo he signed with Rizin FF, a Japanese national mixed martial arts organization where he joined other former rikishi like Baruto Kaito and Akebono Taro.
His mixed martial arts debut was at Rizin 13.
