All rights Reserved. The November issue of GQ JAPAN (published by Condé Nast Japan), on sale Wednesday, October 1st, features a special feature on “GQ SPORTS,” the magazine’s annual athlete-focused feature. This year, the magazine focuses on Gen Z athletes who are striving to reach the top of the world. Gallon’s cover features 25-year-old Yokozuna Onosato, the first Japanese-born sumo wrestler to achieve the title in eight years. In the photoshoot, he demonstrates his morning training routine, including stomp, sliding steps, and teppo (gun) throws. The cover features a powerful gaze, and the cover story, which exudes the determination of a Yokozuna, is a must-see. We also interviewed young athletes who possess world-class perspectives and skills and are breaking down old conventions, including basketball player Yuki Kawamura, who is in his second season in the NBA; baseball player Rintaro Sasaki, who attended the prestigious Stanford University and is aiming to play in the Major Leagues as a student athlete; soccer player Yuito Suzuki, who has transferred to the German Bundesliga; boxing super bantamweight unified champion Naoya Inoue; and volleyball player Yuki Ishikawa, who plays for Italy’s Perugia and contributed to the team’s victory in the European Champions League. We explore the cutting edge of coaching, physical fitness, mental health, and management, and learn about the lifestyles of these athletes as they compete on a global stage. In addition, we’ll be bringing you a variety of cultural features, including an interview with SixTONES’ Hokuto Matsumura, who starred in the live-action version of the anime film “5 Centimeters per Second,” in which he talks about the speed of life he felt as he entered his 30s; an interview with Akiyo Kurosaki, who starred in her first film, “The Miharashi Generation,” in which she reveals her feelings about her friend and director, Yuiga Danzuka; and an interview with Masatoshi Nagase, who played Katsushika Hokusai in the film “Oi, Oi,” in which he compares his own passion to Hokusai. ■GQ SPORTS Youth Revolution: Young Athletes Changing Sports – Onosato: The One and Only Yokozuna, Fighting Alone Three days after the Nagoya tournament, his first tournament since being promoted to Yokozuna, came to a close, Onosato spoke to us at the Nishonoseki stable’s Nagoya lodgings in Anjo City, Aichi Prefecture, still sore from the pain. When asked about his thoughts on his turbulent debut tournament, he reflected, “I wasn’t able to enjoy sumo. I was all alone.” He said the title of yokozuna and the pressure it brings are on a whole different level from when he was an ozeki, and that the way he is seen and perceived has completely changed. This interview is a must-read, as he spoke about his determination to become the “one and only” yokozuna he mentioned at the ceremony, the secret to his strength, his “speed,” and his efforts to become a yokozuna that children look up to. ■GQ Best Beauty 2025: What are this year’s best products?
