Hōshōryū Tomokatsu (Japanese: 豊昇龍 智勝; born Sugarragchaagiin Byambasüren; May 22, 1999) is a Mongolian professional sumo wrestler. Wrestling for Tatsunami stable, he made his professional debut in January 2018. He is especially known for his throws; Mongolian sumo wrestlers are often skilled throwers, reflecting the skills used in Mongolian wrestling.
The nephew of the sport's 68th yokozuna Asashōryū, Hōshōryū has two top-division championships to his name. In addition, he won the lower-division jonidan title undefeated soon after his debut in 2018. Hōshōryū won his first title in the top division in July 2023, which subsequently promoted him to the rank of ōzeki. After finishing as the runner-up at the November 2024 tournament, Hōshōryū won his second top-division title in January 2025 and was promoted to professional sumo's highest rank, becoming the 74th yokozuna. Hōshōryū had been the sole yokozuna on his debut until a promotion of Ōnosato a few months later.
