Kirinji Kazuharu
Kirinji Kazuharu (born 9 March 1953 as Kazuharu Tarusawa) is a former sumo wrestler from Kashiwa, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. His highest rank was ''sekiwake.'' During his long career he won several awards and set a number of longevity records. He is now a sumo coach.
==Career==
He made his professional debut in May 1967 at the age of just 14, joining Nishonoseki stable. At first he fought under his own surname of Tarusawa, before adopting the ''shikona'' of Kirinji in January 1974 upon promotion to the second highest ''jūryō'' division. The ''shikona'' had previously been used by one of his stablemates, ''ozeki'' Daikirin.
Kirinji reached the top ''makuuchi'' division in September 1974 and remained there for 84 tournaments, a record at the time second only to Takamiyama's 97. The run was not consecutive however, as he dropped to ''jūryō'' briefly in November 1979 after sitting out the previous tournament through injury. He fought in 1221 top division bouts in total, the fifth highest in history. He spent ten tournaments at ''komusubi'' rank, the first in March 1975 and the last thirteen years later in January 1988, making him one of the oldest postwar ''sanyaku'' wrestlers. He reached his highest rank of ''sekiwake'' for the first time in July 1975 and held it on seven occasions in total. He never won a top division tournament but was a runner-up on two occasions, to Kitanoumi in September 1978 and to Chiyonofuji in March 1982. He won eleven ''sanshō,'' or special prizes, placing him joint tenth on the all-time list, and earned six ''kinboshi'' or gold stars for defeating ''yokozuna.'' His last ''kinboshi'' against Onokuni in May 1988 came just two tournaments before his retirement.
His spirited match with Fujizakura in May 1975 was particularly memorable and was enjoyed by the then Emperor Hirohito, a sumo fan. After fierce thrusting attacks from both sides, Kirinji eventually won the bout with an ''uwatenage,'' or outer arm throw. He was awarded the Fighting Spirit prize at the end of that tournament. The bout was later released on DVD as one of the "Best Matches in the 20th Century."〔(Re: SUMO DVD: "Best Matches in 20th Century", "Wakanohana" )〕
