Myōgiryū Yasunari (Japanese: 妙義龍 泰成, born 22 October 1986 as Yasunari Miyamoto (宮本 泰成, Miyamoto Yasunari)) is a Japanese professional sumo wrestler from Takasago, Hyōgo. Making his debut in May 2009 as a makushita tsukedashi out of university, he reached the top division for the first time in November 2011. His highest rank to date has been sekiwake. He has earned six special prizes for Technique and six kinboshi for defeating yokozuna. He was runner-up in the September 2021 tournament.
Myōgiryū is popular with female sumo fans, some of whom call out his nickname "22" at tournaments, apparently a reference to his body fat percentage, which is one of the lowest in sumo and has even been mentioned in commercials. Due to his longevity in sumo's top division and popularity with the female audience, Myōgiryū is also nicknamed "otoko" (漢, lit. 'the man').
