Toramaru

In episode 13, a sumo wrestler appears who, unable to endure bullying from Senryouyama, runs away from his stable. Although undefeated in his hometown, he loses confidence after coming to Tokyo. With nowhere to go and in utter despair, he attempts to throw himself into the river but is stopped by Kaoru Kamiya, who then allows him to stay at the Kamiya Dojo. While training under Kaoru's guidance, he is attacked by Senryouyama, but is spurred to action in order to protect Kaoru. With the help of Kenshin Himura and his friends, he confronts Senryouyama in a one-on-one match, where he awakens his latent talent and emerges victorious. Afterwards, thanks to mediation by Hamakaze Oyakata, he is reinstated into the sumo world and reconciles with Senryouyama. He is also notable for possessing a mysterious palate that allows him to genuinely enjoy Kaoru's cooking, and for the peculiar fact that he becomes highly motivated when his rear end is pinched.
