Kushimaumi Keita
Kushimaumi Keita (久島海 啓太; 6 August 1965 – 13 February 2012), born as Keita Kushima (久嶋 啓太), was a sumo wrestler from Shingū, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan. A successful amateur, his highest rank in professional sumo was maegashira 1. After his retirement he became an elder of the Japan Sumo Association and established Tagonoura stable.
==Career==
He began doing sumo from the age of four, due to his father's love of the sport. He was the first person to earn the Amateur Yokozuna title whilst still in high school (at which time he already weighed 160 kg), and he continued amateur sumo at Nihon University. In total he captured 28 collegiate sumo titles, a record at the time. He joined the prestigious Dewanoumi stable and made his professional debut in January 1988, beginning in the third highest ''makushita'' division. He fought under his own name until he reached the second highest ''jūryō'' division, whereupon his ''shikona'' was modified slightly from Kushima to Kushimaumi. Although it took him seven tournaments to progress from ''makushita'' to ''jūryō'', he won two consecutive ''yūshō'' or tournament championships from his ''jūryō'' debut to reach the top ''makuuchi'' division in July 1989, the first wrestler to do so since 15 day tournaments were established in 1949. He won his first Fighting Spirit prize in March 1990, and earned two ''kinboshi'' for defeating ''yokozuna'' Asahifuji in September 1991 and Hokutoumi in March 1992 (this was Hokutoumi's final match before retirement). In March 1993 he was famously knocked out by a ''harite'' (slap to the face) from Kyokudōzan and had to withdraw from the tournament with his score at seven wins and six losses. His best result in a top division tournament was his runner-up performance in September 1993, where he finished behind Akebono on twelve wins. This however, was achieved from the low position of ''maegashira'' 13, and despite his great potential he never managed to reach the ''san'yaku'' ranks. In his later career he suffered increasingly from shoulder and hip injuries, and was demoted to the ''jūryō'' division on several occasions. He announced his retirement in November 1998 at the age of 33, after falling into the ''makushita'' division.
