Kitabayama Hidetoshi
Kitabayama Hidetoshi (17 May 1935 – 20 July 2010) was a former sumo wrestler and coach from Muroran, Hokkaidō, Japan. His highest rank was '' ōzeki''. Career Kitabayama entered sumo in May 1954, joining Tokitsukaze stable. He was recruited by the legendary former ''yokozuna'' Futabayama. He was 173 cm tall and weighed 119 kg, which would make him extremely small by today's sumo standards. After winning the ''jūryō'' championship in September 1958 with a 14–1 record he entered the top ''makuuchi'' division in November 1958. He was a runner-up in only his second top division tournament and quickly made the ''san'yaku'' ranks, reaching ''sekiwake'' in November 1959. He was to remain at ''sekiwake'' rank for nine of the next ten tournaments. After finishing runner-up to ''maegashira'' Sadanoyama in the May 1961 tournament with an 11–4 record he was promoted to ''ōzeki''. He had won 28 bouts over the previous three tournaments, not normally enough for ''ōzeki ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tokitsukaze Stable
The is a stable of sumo wrestlers in Japan, one of the Tokitsukaze group of stables. It was founded in 1769 and was dominant during the Taishō period. In its modern form it dates from 1941 when it was established by Futabayama, who was still an active wrestler at the time. It was known as Futabayama Dojo until it was re-named Tokitsukaze stable in November 1945 when Futabayama retired. (The stable has the names of both Futabayama and Tokitsukaze at its entrance.) Upon Futabayama's death in 1968 the former Kagamisato took charge for a short time, but Futabayama's widow wanted Yutakayama Katsuo to take over, which he did upon his retirement in 1969. He in turn passed control of the stable on to his successor Futatsuryū Jun'ichi, Futatsuryū in August 2002. As of January 2022 it had 17 active wrestlers, two of whom are ''sekitori.''

List Of ōzeki
More than 50 sumo wrestlers have reached the second highest in the sport, the rank of '' ōzeki'', but have failed to rise to the top rank since the modern era of sumo began in 1927 with the merger of the Tokyo and Osaka organizations. By 2020, over 250 wrestlers have been promoted to the rank of ''ōzeki'' throughout the entire history of the sport. Wrestlers who went on to be promoted to ''yokozuna'' are tabulated in the ''list of yokozuna''. The number of top division ''yūshō'' (championships) won by each ''ōzeki'' is also listed. There is no requirement to win a championship before promotion, but a wrestler must usually have won around 33 bouts over three consecutive tournaments. Since 1927, the longest-serving ''ōzeki'' of modern times have been Kaiō and Chiyotaikai who each held the rank for 65 tournaments. With five wins, Kaiō also holds the record for ''yūshō'' won in the modern era by a wrestler to never reach the rank of ''yokozuna''. List * Wrestler held th ...

Kimarite
''Kimarite'' ( ja, 決まり手) is the technique used in sumo by a ''rikishi'' (wrestler) to win a match. It is officially decided or announced by the ''gyōji'' (referee) at the end of the match, though judges can modify this decision. The records of ''kimarite'' are then kept for statistical purposes. The Japan Sumo Association (JSA) have officially recognized 82 such techniques since 2001, with five also recognized as winning non-techniques. However, only about a dozen of these are frequently and regularly used by ''rikishi''. A sumo match can still be won even without a ''kimarite'', by the virtue of disqualification due to a ''kinjite'' (foul), such as striking with closed fist. Basic The basic techniques ( ja, 基本技, kihonwaza) are some of the most common winning techniques in sumo, with the exception of ''abisetaoshi''. ''Abisetaoshi'' is a rarely used basic ''kimarite'' that pushes down the opponent into the ground back-first by leaning forward while grappl ...
