Itai Keisuke
is a former sumo wrestler from Usuki, Oita, Japan. His highest rank was ''komusubi''. He held the record for most consecutive victories from entry into sumo for several years before it was tied by Tochiazuma in 1995 and broken by Jōkōryū in 2012. After his retirement, Itai caused controversy by claiming that the outcomes of many of his matches were set by match-fixing.
==Career==
He won many national youth competitions as an amateur, but worked in the ceramics industry until he was 22. He did not turn professional until September 1978 when he joined the now defunct Onaruto stable. He rose up the rankings in record time, winning his first 26 matches, a record at that time for most consecutive victories from entry into sumo. He reached the second ''jūryō'' division just six tournaments after his professional debut. He was given the ''shikona'' of Kōtetsuyama, also the fighting name of his stablemaster, former ''sekiwake'' Kōtetsuyama Toyoya. He was promoted to the top ''makuuchi'' division after winning the ''jūryō'' championship in July 1980. However he dropped out of his debut ''makuuchi'' tournament on the fifth day without even winning one match. He won promotion to the top division once again after winning another ''jūryō'' title in March 1981 but once again dropped out of the following tournament, this time after only three days. Struggling with injuries, he fell all the way down to the unsalaried ''makushita'' division. In an effort to change his fortunes, he dropped the ''shikona'' and reverted to his real surname, which he was to use for the rest of his career.〔
Itai finally managed to win a top division bout on his third attempt in November 1982, and came through with his first ''kachi-koshi'' or winning score in March 1983. He remained in the top division for 50 consecutive tournaments. Although he was short for a sumo wrestler at just , he was a powerful pusher-thruster, specialising in oshi techniques. He earned three gold stars for defeating ''yokozuna'', but all of those occurred at bouts against Onokuni. He also lost all 16 bouts against ''yokozuna'' Chiyonofuji. His best result in a tournament was 11-4 in March 1989, for which he was awarded two special prizes for outstanding performance and technique. He earned promotion to ''komusubi'' for the following tournament, but only managed three wins in his ''sanyaku'' debut and never managed to return to the rank. In the July 1991 tournament, ranked at the bottom of the ''makuuchi'' division, he lost every one of his fifteen bouts and was demoted to ''jūryō''. He announced his retirement from sumo three days into the following tournament at the age of 35.
