All Japan College Weight category championships?

[Kintamayama 45,408]

I have no idea about Ama-sumo but there was a college tournament held today, divided by weights. The under 100 kilos was one by someone who is definitely a foreigner from the West, or else a half foreigner. Who knows better? Vids- 100 kilos and under- from the second round- finals:

115 kilos- from the second round- finals:

135 kilos, second round and finals:

The name doesn't support that idea: Hikaru Hagiwara 萩原光 or something. I agree though, he does look like he has at least some Western roots. From his club's blog at Takushoku:

He actually beat a Mongolian in the semifinals, トゥブシンサナー of Tokyo Nogyo (Tuvshinsanaa, I think).

I'm willing to stake a steak here.. I'll even go out on a limb and say maybe his mother is of Eastern European origin.
