Towanoyama Yoshimitsu

Towanoyama Yoshimitsu (born July 10, 1977 as Akihito Kobayashi) is a former sumo wrestler from Toshima, Tokyo, Japan. He made his professional debut in 1993. His highest rank was ''maegashira'' 13, achieved in March 2002. He had many injury problems and had perhaps the unluckiest (and shortest) top ''makuuchi'' division career of any wrestler in sumo, being injured before even fighting a match in the division. He is the only wrestler since the beginning of the Showa era in 1926 to have been ranked in the top division without winning any bouts there.
==Career==
Towanoyama made his professional debut in November 1993, joining Dewanoumi stable straight from high school. At the time Dewanoumi stable was extremely strong and he had many powerful training partners. He served as a personal attendant to such top division men as Kushimaumi, Oginohana and Oginishiki. In March 1999 he won the ''makushita'' division championship with a perfect 7-0 record and earned promotion to the second highest ''jūryō'' division, becoming an elite ''sekitori'' wrestler. He suffered an injury to his right ankle which required surgery and affected his performances, resulting in demotion back to'' makushita'' after only four tournaments. However, in May 2001 he won his second ''makushita'' championship and returned to the second division. A strong 11-4 record in January 2002 earned him promotion to the top ''makuuchi'' division, alongside Shimotori.
At the time Towanoyama was the heaviest Japanese wrestler in sumo, weighing over 200 kilos. He was the highest ranked wrestler in his stable and was able to use his immense weight to good advantage. However, on the day of his first match in the top division in March 2002, he injured his knee in training and was forced to pull out of the tournament without participating in a single bout. He has not got back to the top division since. After winning only five bouts in the next tournament he fell to ''makushita'' once again. He was able to return to the ''jūryō'' division in November 2003, but on the tenth day of the March 2004 tournament, whilst trying to force a throwing move against Wakakosho, he fell badly and tore his patella tendon.〔 He was hospitalised for four months, requiring transplant surgery for thigh tendons. He missed five consecutive tournaments, which meant he fell greatly in rank, ending up in the second lowest ''jonidan'' division. After rehabilitation and weight training programs he returned to the ring in March 2005 and made his way slowly back up the rankings, but never managed to regain ''sekitori'' status. A 6-1 score in May 2008 moved him up to Makushita 6 for July, his highest ranking since his 2004 injury. He produced a 5-2 score there, putting him on the brink of promotion back to ''jūryō'', and he was even called up to face a ''jūryō'' opponent, Kaiho, in the following tournament. However after two losing scores he slid down the ''makushita'' division again. In 2009 he rebounded again with three consecutive winning records. His results slowly begin to slip however, and over a four year period he slowly dropped in the ranks of ''makushita'' being relegated to the lower ''sandanme'' division in May 2013, but achieving a winning record in that tournament and the next to gain promotion back to his mainstay of ''makushita''. He announced his retirement after the January 2015 tournament, where he achieved his 500th career win but lost his six other bouts.
