Hokuseihō Osamu (Japanese: 北青鵬 治; born 12 November 2001 as Ariunaagiin Davaaninj (Mongolian: Ариунаагийн Даваанинж)) is a Mongolian-born Japanese retired sumo wrestler from Ulaanbaatar. He was recruited by the former yokozuna Hakuhō, and had been regarded as his protégé. He made his professional debut in March 2020 with the Miyagino stable, and won his first 21 matches. His highest achieved rank was maegashira 6.
After the January 2024 tournament, allegations of assaults by Hokuseihō against fellow rikishi in his stable led to an investigation by the Sumo Association, which later verified them. On 22 February 2024, the day before the full Sumo Association board met to take up the committee's recommendations, Hokuseihō submitted his retirement notification.
