Kashiwado Tsuyoshi
Kashiwado Tsuyoshi (柏戸 剛, November 29, 1938 - December 8, 1996) was a sumo wrestler from Japan. He was the sport's 47th yokozuna, fighting at sumo's highest rank from 1961 to 1969. After his retirement he became an elder of the Japan Sumo Association and ran his own training stable from 1970 until his death.
==Career==
Born in what is now part of the city of Tsuruoka in the northern prefecture of Yamagata, Kashiwado made his professional debut in September 1954, joining Isenoumi stable. He initially fought under his own surname of Togashi. Upon reaching the top ''makuuchi'' division in September 1958 he rose rapidly up the rankings. In only his fourth top division tournament, following a ''shikona'' change to Kashiwado, he was runner-up to yokozuna Tochinishiki with a 13-2 record and earned special prizes for Fighting Spirit and Technique. He made the ''san'yaku'' ranks in November 1959, winning promotion to ''ōzeki'' in September 1960 and taking his first top division ''yūshō'' in January 1961. After taking part in a playoff for the championship in September of that year, he was promoted to ''yokozuna'', joining the aging pair of Asashio and Wakanohana who were soon to retire.
Kashiwado was to win five top division championships, a long way behind the thirty-two captured by his rival Taihō, who was promoted to ''yokozuna'' simultaneously with him. He was however a tournament runner-up on no fewer than fifteen occasions. He suffered from many injury problems during his career, which led to him being dubbed the "glass ''yokozuna''". He failed to complete four tournaments in a row from January to July 1963. However he made a spectacular comeback in September 1963, winning his first championship as a ''yokozuna'' (and second ''yūshō'' in total) with a perfect 15-0 record. He was listed as a ''yokozuna'' on the ''banzuke'' for 47 tournaments, which puts him in equal 6th place on the all-time list.〔(Japan Sumo Association Banzuke Topics, May 2008. Retrieved on 2008-05-02 )〕 He was popular among sumo crowds, appealing to those who found Taihō too dominant. The eight years in which the two shared the ''yokozuna'' rank was known as the ''Hakuhō'' era, a combination of their names (''Haku'' is another reading of ''Kashi''.)〔
