Takanosato Toshihide
Takanosato Toshihide (Toshihide Takaya, September 29, 1952 – November 7, 2011) was a sumo wrestler from Namioka, Aomori, Japan. He was the sport's 59th ''yokozuna'' from 1983 to 1986 and won four top division tournament championships. After retirement he established Naruto stable which he ran from 1989 until his death.
==Early career==
Takanosato played football and judo before turning to sumo. He was from the same area of Japan as Wakanohana Kanji II and the two entered professional sumo together in July 1968, joining Futagoyama stable. Takanosato reached the top ''makuuchi'' division in May 1975 but had some indifferent results and fell back to the ''jūryō'' division on several occasions. A late developer, he did not reach the ''san'yaku'' ranks until 1979, by which time Wakanohana was already a ''yokozuna''. In 1980 he was runner-up in two consecutive tournaments, but he did so from the ''maegashira'' ranks. Nicknamed "Popeye" because of his brawny physique, by 1981 he was a ''san'yaku'' regular, and in January 1982 he produced his third runner-up performance, this time at ''sekiwake'' rank, and earned promotion to ''ōzeki.'' Following his promotion he announced that he had been suffering from diabetes for many years, and had devised a special diet to keep the illness under control. He won his first top division championship in September 1982 with a perfect 15-0 record. He was runner-up in the tournaments of March and May 1983, and then took his second championship in July. Following this tournament was promoted to ''yokozuna''.
