Hakurozan Yuta ( Japanese 白露 山 佑 太 , proper Batras Felixowitsch Boradsow, Russian Батраз Феликсович Борадзов ; born February 6, 1982 in Ordzhonikidze / North Ossetia ) is a former sumo ringer of Ossetian descent from Russia and Rohko Yukio .
Like his older brother Roho, before his Sumokarriere experience also Hakurozan rings made. He made his debut at the 2002 summer tournament in Tokyo with another fighter from Russia named Amuru .
His ascent was slower than that of Roho. So he played his first fight in the Jūryō Division only in the autumn tournament of 2004 and in the Makuuchi Division in July 2005. There he could not put himself in the limelight and mostly moved in the lower midfield of the maegashira ranks and rose in between the juryo. His highest achieved rank was 2nd place in the Maegashira East Group in July 2006.
Hakurozan weighed around 137 kg at a height of 1.89 m when he was active. His fighting style is similar to that of his brother. Mostly he won with yorikiri , hatakikomi or uwatenage .
Before the September 2008 tournament, Aki Basho, in Tokyo, he and his brother Roho were fired from the sumo association for evidence of drug use. Another Russian wrestler, Wakanoho , had previously been arrested by police for possession of marijuana. He was also immediately released from the sumo association.
