Kirishima Tetsuo (霧島 鐵力), born April 24, 1996, as Byambachuluun Lkhagvasuren (Mongolian: Бямбачулуун Лхагвасүрэн) is a professional sumo wrestler from Mongolia. He made his debut in March 2015 representing Michinoku stable under the name Kiribayama Tetsuo (霧馬山鐵雄), and reached the top makuuchi division in January 2020. He wrestles for Otowayama stable, where he moved to in April 2024 following the closure of Michinoku stable. His highest rank has been ōzeki. He has won the makuuchi championship twice along with one runner-up performance and four special prizes in his career to date.

Upon his promotion to ōzeki in May 2023, Kirishima changed his ring name from Kiribayama, adopting the ring name of his then-stablemaster Michinoku (former ōzeki Kirishima).[1]
