Ōtake Stable
is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Nishonoseki group of stables. It was set up in 1971, as Taihō stable, by the 48th ''yokozuna'' Taihō Kōki on his retirement from wrestling. The first ''sekitori'' he produced was Shishihō in 1977. His most successful wrestler was Ōzutsu, who reached the rank of ''sekiwake.'' In May 1981 Taihō was persuaded by the editor of the English language sumo magazine '' Sumo World'' to accept a foreign wrestler, Philip Smoak of Texas, who was with the stable for just two months. Taihō passed control of the stable on to his son-in-law Ōtake (former ''sekiwake'' Takatōriki) in 2003, as he was approaching the age for mandatory retirement from the Japan Sumo Association. As the name of Taihō was an ''ichidai-toshiyori'' (one-generation elder name) it could not be passed on, so the stable was re-named Ōtake. In 2004 the Russian Rohō reached the top division, but was dismissed from sumo in September 2008 after failing a test for cannabi ...

Takanohana Stable
was a stable of sumo wrestlers, created in 2004 when Takanohana Kōji took over the running of Futagoyama stable from his father Takanohana Kenshi. Formerly of the Nishonoseki ''ichimon'' or group of stables, it became the leader of a breakaway Takanohana group in 2010, which was formally recognized as an ''ichimon'' in 2014. It is one of the most successful sumo stables with 42 top division championships to its name, won by eight different wrestlers, if Futagoyama's history from 1962 is included.

Shikona
A is a sumo wrestler's ring name. The tradition of ring names in sumo dates back to the Edo period, where they were used as a means to attract customers and hide the identities of the ''rikishi''. Like standard Japanese names, a ''shikona'' consists of a surname and a personal, or given name, and the full name is written surname first. However, the personal name is rarely used outside formal or ceremonial occasions. Thus, the former ''yokozuna'' is usually referred to as simply ''Asashōryū''. When addressing a sumo wrestler of the ''makuuchi'' or ''jūryō'' divisions, the suffix is used instead of the usual . The given name is often, but not always, the wrestler's original name, and may be changed at the whim of the individual wrestler. Foreign wrestlers always adopt a new, Japanese given name. Often, on first joining professional sumo, a wrestler's ''shikona'' is the same as his family name. As a wrestler rises through the ranks of sumo, he is expected to change his ''shi ...

Kanreki Dohyo-iri
Hwangap () in Korean, in Japanese or Jiazi () in Chinese, is a traditional way of celebrating one's 61st birthday in Korea. It is technically the 60th birthday, but in Korean age, the person would be celebrating their 61st. The number 60 means accomplishing one big 60-year cycle and starting another one in one's life following the traditional 60-year calendar cycle of the lunar calendar. In the traditional way of counting ages, one began a new 60-year cycle on New Year's Day, when everyone became a year older. Thus people who were 60 and had completed their first 60-year cycle entered their second cycle on the New Year's Day when they turned 61 and returned to the same combination of zodiacal symbols that governed the year of their birth. Under the currently popular western method of counting ages, however, one enters one's second cycle on one's 60th birthday. The traditional cycles still remain, but the way of counting ages has changed by one year. In the past, a person's avera ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jūryō
Professional sumo as administered by the Japan Sumo Association is divided into six ranked divisions. Wrestlers are promoted and demoted within and between these divisions based on the merit of their win–loss records in official tournaments. For more information see ''kachi-koshi'' and ''make-koshi''. Wrestlers are also ranked within each division. The higher a wrestler's rank within a division is, the stronger the general level of opponents he will have to face becomes. According to tradition, each rank is further subdivided into East and West, with East being slightly more prestigious, and ranked slightly higher than its West counterpart. The divisions, ranked in order of hierarchy from highest to lowest, are as follows: ''Makuuchi'' , or , is the top division. It is fixed at 42 wrestlers who are ranked according to their performance in previous tournaments.

Takanohana Kōji
is a Japanese former professional sumo wrestler and coach. He was the 65th man in history to reach sumo's highest rank of ''yokozuna'', and he won 22 tournament championships between 1992 and 2001, the sixth highest total ever. The son of a popular '' ōzeki'' ranked wrestler from the 1970s, Takanohana's rise through the ranks alongside his elder brother Wakanohana and his rivalry with the foreign born ''yokozuna'' Akebono saw interest in sumo and attendance at tournaments soar during the early 1990s. Takanohana was the youngest ever to reach the top division at just 17, and he set a number of other age-related records. He had a solid but aggressive style, looking to get a right hand grip on his opponents' ''mawashi'' and move them quickly out of the ring. He won over half his bouts by a straightforward '' yorikiri'', or force out. In his later career he suffered increasingly from injuries, and he retired in January 2003 at the age of 30. He became the head coach of Takanoha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
