Aonishiki Arata (Japanese: 安青錦 新大; born March 23, 2004 as Danylo Yavhusishyn Ukrainian: Данило Явгусішин) is a Ukrainian professional sumo wrestler from Vinnytsia, Vinnytsia Oblast. He is the second Ukrainian to become a professional sumo wrestler, after Shishi in 2020.

He would then soon lose and immediately regain the rank over the course of the July 2026 tournament. Aonishiki has posted double-digit wins in each of his first eight tournaments at sekitori status. In the top division, he won 11 matches in each of his first four tournaments before earning a top division title on his fifth and sixth tournaments at that level of competition.
