Tochinohana Hitoshi
Tochinohana Hitoshi (born February 28, 1973 as Hitoshi Yachi) is a former sumo wrestler from Yamagata, Kunohe, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. A former amateur champion, he turned professional in 1995, reaching the top ''makuuchi'' division in 2000. His highest rank was ''komusubi''. He retired in 2008 and is now a sumo coach.
==Career==
Tochinohana practised amateur sumo at Meiji University, but unlike many former amateur wrestlers, he still began his professional career at the very bottom of the rankings. He joined Kasugano stable in March 1995 at the age of 22. Initially fighting under his own surname, Yachi, it took him four years to become a ''sekitori''. Upon reaching the second highest ''jūryō'' division in January 1999 he adopted the ''shikona'' Tochinohana.
After capturing the ''jūryō'' ''yūshō'' or tournament championship with a 13-2 record, he made his debut in the top ''makuuchi'' division in May 2000. He made an explosive start, defeating two ''ozeki'', winning twelve bouts and receiving two special prizes. In the September 2000 tournament he defeated another ''ozeki'' and was awarded his second Technique prize. He was promoted to ''komusubi'' in the next tournament in November, but could only manage a 3-12 record. This was to be his only tournament in the titled ''sanyaku'' ranks.
Over the next couple of years Tochinohana struggled to maintain his ''makuuchi'' position, and a serious back injury forced him all the way down to the unsalaried ''makushita'' division in 2004. However, he fought his way back to ''makuuchi'' in November 2005, where he finished runner-up to ''yokozuna'' Asashoryu, scoring eleven wins and receiving the Fighting Spirit Award. In an interview, Tochinohana's father said he regarded this as the most memorable achievement of his son's career.〔 〕 He remained in the top division until May 2007, when he could only win only four bouts at ''maegashira'' 13 and was demoted back to ''jūryō''.
