{{nihongo|'''Kaishō Asaki'''|魁勝 旦祈||born January 28, 1995 as {{nihongo|'''Asaki Honda'''|本多 旦祈}}|lead=yes}} is a Japanese professional [[sumo]] wrestler from [[Nishio]], [[Aichi Prefecture]]. He made his professional debut in March 2013, joining [[Tomozuna stable]], and reached the ''[[jūryō]]'' division in September 2019. His highest rank has been ''Jūryōjūryō'' 2. He has one ''[[sandanme]]'' division championship or ''[[yūshō]].''

Honda would make his debut in March 2013 alongside future ''[[sekitori]]'' [[Endō Shōta|Endō]], [[Daishōhō Kiyohiro|Daishōhō]], [[Takagenji Satoshi|Takagenji]], and [[Takanofuji Sanzō|Takanofuji]]. Honda wrestled in ''[[maezumo]]'' with his surname, but switched to the ''[[shikona]]'' Kaishō following his ''[[jonokuchi]]'' debut. In January 2014 he would follow Asakayama ''oyakata'' who established a stable of the same name, being one of its founding disciples. After transferring, KaishoKaishō would regularly train at [[Azumazeki stable]], receiving peronalized training from former ''[[komusubi]]'' [[Takamisakari Seiken|Takamisakari]]. Kaishō had a strong start, and breezed through the first two divisions with relative ease. He switched his ''[[shikona]]'' to Kaiseiō for the July 2014 tournament. After three straight ''[[Glossary_of_sumo_terms#kachi-koshi|kachi-koshi]]'', or winning records in ''sandanme'', KaiseioKaiseiō earned promotion to the ''[[makushita]]'' division for the May 2015 tournament.

Kaiseiō had a strong showing in his first two bashotournaments in ''makushita''. He reached the upper-half of the division by his third tournament. However for the May 2016 tournament, Kaiseiō had a right ankle surgery and had to miss out on every match. This result demoted him back to the ''sandanme'' division. Even though he wasn't completely healed, he still participated and finished with a 5-2 in the following July tournament. Kaiseiō became a ''makushita'' mainstay for around three years, with the exception of a couple tournaments in ''sandanme''. In January 2018, Kaiseiō reverted back to his old ''shikona'' of Kaishō and immediately won all seven matches in ''sandanme''. He was placed in a playoff against Tochikodai, which he won as well. He spent the following tournaments in upper level ''makushita'', and after a win against ''jūryō''-ranked wrestler [[Arawashi Tsuyoshi|Arawashi]], Kaishō earned promotion to the ''jūryō'' division for the September 2019 tournament following a 4-3 record at ''makushita'' 4.<ref name="nikkan2407">{{cite web|url=https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/201907240001093.html|title=新十両魁勝「ビックリした」浅香山部屋初の関取誕生 (New juryō Kaisho "surprised" he is Asakayama stable's first sekitori)|date=24 July 2019|work=Nikkan Sports|language=Japanese|access-date=27 June 2022}}</ref> He was selected ahead of [[Wakamotoharu]] who had scored 5-2 at ''makushita'' 5, despite losing to Wakamotoharu during the tournament, a fact that his own stablemaster thought might count against him.<ref name="nikkan2407"/>

Kaisho was the first wrestler from Asakayama stable to earn ''[[sekitori]]'' status.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/201908250001213.html|title=幕内昇進４力士　 剣翔はうれしい新入幕　 新番付 (Four wrestlers promoted to makuuchi, Tsurugisho is a happy newcomer )|date=26 August 2019|work=Nikkan Sports|language=Japanese|access-date=27 June 2022}}</ref> In his ''jūryō'' debut, Kaishō lost his first three matches but, would bounce back and win 8 out of the 10 following matches. He lost his final three matches to finish with a decent 8-7 record. This promoted him to ''jūryō'' 11 for the November 2019, tournament. Kaishō struggled in the tournament and finished with a 5-10 record. This regulated him back to the ''makushita'' division, where he would remain for all of 2020. He would return to ''jūryō'' in July 2021 and posted a strong 11-4 record, which would include a win over [[Abi Masatora|Abi]], ending the latter's 21-match winning streak since his return from suspension.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://hochi.news/articles/20210711-OHT1T51109.html?page=1|title=阿炎、復帰後の連勝は２１でストップ　 魁勝に寄り切られ初黒星「また明日から集中して」 (Abi's winning streak since his return stopped at 21, will "concentrate again tomorrow")|date=11 July 2021|work=Hochi|language=Japanese|access-date=27 June 2022}}</ref> He would follow this up with a 8-7 record in September. This would see him promoted up to ''Jūryōjūryō'' 2 for the November bashotournament. A good bashotournament here would have seen him likely promoted to the top ''[[makuuchi]]'' division for the new year but, he would falter going 5-10 by the finish.

KaishoKaishō is a [[Glossary_of_sumo_terms#yotsu-zumō|''yotsu-sumo'']] wrestler, preferring grappling techniques to pushing and thrusting. His most common winning kimarite is a straightforward ''yori-kiri'', or force out, and he uses a ''hidari-yotsu'' grip on the ''mawashi'' or belt, with his right hand outside and left hand inside his opponent's arms.
