I think it would be tough to find many (if any) active sumo wrestlers into their forties. (The regulation is to measure those between the ages forty and seventy-five.)
The two active Yokozunas (highest rank) are twenty-three and twenty-seven. There are lower-ranking sumos in their thirties, but I couldn't find any over forty.
