Kitanofuji Katsuaki

Kitanofuji Katsuaki 北の富士勝昭 (born March 28, 1942 as Takezawa Katsuaki) is a former sumo wrestler, born in Asahikawa, Hokkaidō, Japan. He was the sport's 52nd yokozuna. He was also the head coach of Kokonoe stable.
==Career==
Kitanofuji began his professional career in January 1957 at the age of just 14, joining Dewanoumi stable. In November 1963 he achieved a perfect 15-0 score in the second highest ''jūryō'' division (a feat not equalled until 43 years later by Baruto) and was promoted to the top ''makuuchi'' division. In his debut top division tournament he scored 13 wins, although he faced only his fellow ''maegashira.'' He won the Fighting Spirit award and was promoted straight to ''komusubi.'' By 1966 he was firmly established in the ''san'yaku'' ranks at ''sekiwake.'' He reached ''ōzeki'' rank in July 1966. Although he had won only 28 bouts in the previous three tournaments (at least 33 are normally needed), Yutakayama was the only ''ōzeki'' at the time, and he was promoted largely because of his potential.
In January 1967 he followed the coach who had scouted him, former ''yokozuna'' Chiyonoyama, to a new stable, Kokonoe. His first tournament championship came in March of that year. Kitanofuji was competing in an era dominated by Taihō, but he emerged from the great ''yokozuna's'' shadow by winning consecutive championships in November 1969 and January 1970 to secure his own promotion to ''yokozuna''. Promoted alongside him was his friend and rival Tamanoumi. His first title as a ''yokozuna'' came in May 1970. After a run of relatively mediocre 11-4 marks he won in May 1971 with a perfect record and he took two other championships that year.
However, Tamanoumi's sudden death in October 1971 shook Kitanofuji badly and affected his performance in the ring. Now the sole ''yokozuna'' in sumo, he went into a slump. After poor performances in the first two tournaments of 1972, he pulled out of the May 1972 tourney because of insomnia. He took a leave of absence from the next tournament in July, but went on a trip to Hawaii and was caught surfboarding. He was cautioned by the Japan Sumo Association and immediately apologised. He returned to win the next championship with a perfect record in September 1972. His final title came in March 1973, and his last challenge for a championship was in July of that year when he lost a playoff to veteran Kotozakura.
After several more absences Kitanofuji announced his retirement at the age of 32 three days into the July 1974 tournament, acknowledging that there was now a new era being led by Wajima and Kitanoumi, both several years younger than himself. Kotozakura retired in the same week, and Kitanoumi was promoted to ''yokozuna'' after the tournament ended. Kitanofuji's total of ten tournament championships was, at the time, behind only Futabayama's 12 and Taiho's 32.
