==Assault allegations and subsequent retirement==
During the January 2010 tournament, a tabloid magazine claimed Asashōryū punched his personal manager after getting drunk during a night out in downtown Nishiazabu.[49] After the tournament Asashōryū was reprimanded by Japan Sumo Association (JSA) head Musashigawa, and he apologised once again for his behaviour.[64] However, it subsequently emerged that it was not his manager but a restaurant employee who was attacked, reportedly sustaining a broken nose. The man did not file a report with the police,[65] and on 31 January 2010, Asashōryū told the authorities that he had reached a settlement with him.[66] Despite this, the police did not rule out the possibility of questioning Asashōryū about the assault.[67]
Subsequently, on 4 February 2010, he announced his decision to retire, after discussing the matter at a meeting with the Board of Directors of the Sumo Association.[68] He stated, "I feel heavy responsibility as a yokozuna that I have caused trouble to so many people. I am the only person who can put an end to it all. I think it's my destiny that I retire like this."[68] Asashōryū did not comment directly on the brawl, except to say that what actually happened was "quite different" to media reports.[69] "I decided to step down to bring this to a closure."[69]
Asashōryū referred to criticism for not showing hinkaku (dignity) as a yokozuna. "Everybody talks about dignity, but when I went into the ring, I felt fierce like a devil."[70] Asked what his most memorable bout was, he chose his first win over Musashimaru in May 2001, with his parents watching him.[71]
JSA Chief Director Musashigawa revealed that directors were debating on that day whether to punish Asashōryū. "He felt compelled to resign for misconduct that was inexcusable, and the board accepted. I want to apologize to all of the fans and to the person injured in the incident."[72] The Yokozuna Deliberation Council had recommended his retirement, and would have pressed for his dismissal if he had not chosen to go.[73]
In Mongolia, there was anger at the news. One high-ranking Mongolian official accused the Sumo Association of using the incident as an excuse to get rid of Asashōryū before he could reach Taihō's 32 tournament victories. "I feel that they did not want him to break the record for most titles. This behavior is unjust. The Mongolian people disapprove."[74] The Zuunii Medee newspaper called for sumo broadcasts in Mongolia to be suspended.[75] Reacting to the tense mood among the Mongolian public, a spokesman at the Foreign Ministry of Mongolia issued a statement that the "resignation of Asashōryū will have no influence to the friendship between Mongolian and Japanese citizens." and he requested people stay calm.[76] Reaction in Japan was more mixed, with some of the public saying the yokozuna had to go while others said they would miss him.[77] Many Japanese media compared his case with earlier yokozuna Maedayama who was forced to resign in 1949 after dropping out of a tournament claiming illness but subsequently photographed at a baseball game.[citation needed] Both his stablemaster and the Sumo Association received criticism for their handling of this incident and Asashōryū in general.[77]
As Asashōryū never obtained Japanese citizenship, he was not eligible to stay in the sumo world as an oyakata, or coach.[75] He was, however, entitled to a formal retirement ceremony, or danpatsu-shiki, at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan[78] and was also given a retirement allowance by the Sumo Association, believed to be around ¥120 million ($1.34 million).[79]
Asashōryū gave a press conference in Mongolia on 11 March, and denied committing any "act of violence," but said he did not regret his decision to retire.[80] He claimed it was "an undeniable fact" that there were people within the Sumo Association "trying to push me out of sumo" and that he could have gone on to win 30 or more tournament titles.[80] Asked about rumours that he would enter mixed martial arts, he replied, "I haven't really thought about what to do next."[81] He refused to take any questions from Japanese reporters.[81]
He was questioned voluntarily by investigators in May, and reportedly said that his hand "may have struck" the man, but he denied assault.[82] In July police reported him to the public prosecutors.[82] His former stablemaster Takasago said if Asashōryū was indicted then his retirement ceremony may be cancelled.[83] However, in the event it went ahead as planned on 3 October, with around 380 dignitaries taking turns in snipping his oichiomage or topknot before Takasago made the final cut.[84] Asashoryu said to the 10,000 fans at the Kokugikan, "In another life as a Japanese, I would like to become a yokozuna with Japanese spirit... I want to show everyone that I can become a better person."[84]
