Kiyokuni Katsuo
Kiyokuni Katsuo (born 20 November 1941 as Tadao Sato) is a former sumo wrestler from Ogachi, Akita, Japan. His highest rank was ''ōzeki'', which he held from 1969 to 1974. He won one top division ''yūshō'' or tournament championship and was a runner-up in five other tournaments. He also earned seven special prizes and seven gold stars. After his retirement he was the head coach of Isegahama stable.
== Career ==
Recruited by former ''sekiwake'' Kiyosegawa, he made his professional debut in September 1956 (in the same tournament as Taihō). Initially fighting under the ''shikona'' of Wakaikuni, he rose slowly up the ranks, eventually reaching the second highest ''jūryō'' division in May 1963, after 26 tournaments in ''makushita''. He was promoted to the top ''makuuchi'' division in November 1963. In just his second ''makuuchi'' tournament, ranked at ''maegashira'' 13, he produced a superb 14-1 record, losing only on the final day and finishing runner-up to ''yokozuna'' Taiho who won with an unbeaten score. He was awarded the Technique Prize and was promoted straight to ''sekiwake'', sumo's third highest rank. He defeated yokozuna in three consecutive tournaments from September 1964 to January 1965, earning promotion back to the ''san'yaku'' ranks.
After a year or so of being stuck at the sekiwake rank, Kiyokuni was finally promoted to ''ōzeki'' in May 1969 after his second runner-up performance. Although he had scored only 31 wins in the three tournaments prior to his promotion, below the usual threshold of 33, he immediately dispelled any doubts over his worthiness by taking what was to be his only tournament championship or ''yūshō'' in his ''ōzeki'' debut, defeating Taihō for only the third time in 25 meetings to finish one win ahead of him on 12-3. This was to be the last ''yūshō'' by a member of the Tatsunami-Isegahama ''ichimon'' or group of stables until ''ōzeki'' Asahifuji won his first championship in January 1988.
Kiyokuni was never able to make ''yokozuna'', partly due to neck and spinal injuries from which he never fully recovered. Nevertheless, he was a strong ''ōzeki'', remaining there for 28 ''basho'' and finishing runner-up in May 1971, May 1973 and September 1973. He retired in January 1974, due to a heart complaint.〔
