Ayagawa Gorōji (綾川五郎次, c. 1703 – March 14, 1765) was a sumo wrestler. He is formally recognised as the second yokozuna''. Ayagawa came from Tochigi prefecture and was promoted to ''ōzeki'' in 1717. According to tradition, he was the strongest wrestler in the Genbun era. He was a famous sumo wrestler in Edo, Osaka and Kyoto. The 17th Oikaze of the Yoshida family, allowed Ayagawa to be his pupil. Very little is known about his sumo career. He was of legendary size, perhaps tall and in weight. He died on March 14, 1765. His grave can be found in Tochigi. It was not until over 150 years after his death that he was recognised as the 2nd ''yokozuna'' by later ''yokozuna'' Jinmaku when he was compiling a formal list for a monument. His career predates ''banzuke'' and tournament records so no record of his rank and bouts exists. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ayagawa Gorōji」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
