Tamawashi is an Anime Voice Actor

Yesterday, I wrote about how Tamawashi became the oldest sumo wrestler (41, turning 42 on November 16) to make his return to the top division (see my post). While looking for links to include in my article, I learned that Tamawashi worked as a voice actor in the summer season anime series, Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia (Anime News Network). Tamawashi played Genghis Khan, which I suppose is fitting since he is Mongolian (born Munkhorgil Batjargal). Tamawashi’s stablemate, Tamashoho, joined him in the cast. While I suspect that Tamawashi’s post-wrestling career will focus more on sumo (perhaps as a stablemaster after he acquired Japanese citizenship (Nikkan Sports [JP]; The New Leaf Journal), I respect his trying new endeavors. Moreover, I will add that he posted strong results in the second Juryo division in both July and September, while his debut anime was airing, to secure his return to Makuuchi.

I will note separately that the anime looks aesthetic and interesting. I am still well behind on my 2025-26 anime viewing, but I look forward to watching within the next few months and enjoying Tamawashi’s voice acting debut.
