Kongō Masahiro
Kongō Masahiro (18 November 1948 - 12 August 2014) was a former sumo wrestler from Hokkaidō, Japan. His highest rank was ''sekiwake'' and he won a top division tournament championship in 1975. He was a sumo coach and head of the Nishonoseki stable from 1976 until 2013.
==Career==
He was born in Fukagawa as Masahiro Yoshizawa, and joined the Nishonoseki stable (home of the great Taihō) in May 1964 at the age of 15. He initially wrestled under the ''shikona'' of Oyoshizawa, based on his own surname. He first appeared on the ''banzuke'' ranking sheets in July 1964 and won all seven of his bouts, taking the ''jonokuchi'' championship with a perfect 7–0 record. However his progress slowed somewhat after that. In 1966 he made the third ''makushita'' division, and gradually climbed up to ''makushita'' 3 before dropping to ''makushita'' 6 for the July 1969 tournament. There he took his second divisional championship, again with an unbeaten 7–0 score, and was promoted to the second ''jūryō'' division, giving him elite ''sekitori'' status. He was relatively light for a sumo wrestler at just . To mark his promotion he was given the new name of Kongō. He remained in the ''jūryō'' division for just over a year, recording a couple of ''make-koshi'' or losing scores, but in May and July 1970 he won two consecutive ''jūryō'' championships to earn promotion to the top ''makuuchi'' division.
He had put on a little more weight, and was now around , but he remained in the ''maegashira'' ranks until May 1972, when a 9–6 score saw him reach the titled ''san'yaku'' ranks for the first time at ''komusubi.'' He was unable to maintain the rank however, scoring only 5–10. In September 1974 he defeated ''yokozuna'' Kitanoumi on the opening day, earning him his first ''kinboshi'' or gold star, and at the end of the tournament he was awarded his first ''sanshō'' or special prize for Outstanding Performance. He returned to ''komusubi'' for the following tournament.
The highlight of his career came in July 1975 when he won the top division championship from the ''maegashira'' 1 ranking. ''Yokozuna'' Wajima and ''ōzeki'' Takanohana both missed the tournament through injury. Kongō defeated Kitanoumi once again on the 7th day and finished one win ahead of fellow ''maegashira'' Aobajō with a fine 13–2 record. He won his third Outstanding Performance prize and was promoted straight to ''sekiwake'' for the following tournament. This was to be his highest rank, as he could score only 6-9 in the September 1975 tournament and never managed to return to ''sekiwake''.
