Wakashima Gonshirō
Wakashima Gonshirō (若島 権四郎, January 19, 1876 – October 23, 1943) was a sumo wrestler from Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. He was the sport's 21st ''yokozuna''.
==Career==
Wakashima was the first official ''yokozuna'' from Osaka sumo. He began his career in Tokyo sumo at the Tomozuna stable, joining in May 1891 at the age of 15. He reached the top ''makuuchi'' division in 1896, peaking at ''maegashira'' 7. He was very popular with geisha, but his interest in this side of life caused his progress in sumo to slacken. In addition, he suffered from smallpox. He left in January 1898, joining Osaka sumo, and entering Nakamura stable. It is believed he was awarded the Osaka sumo ''yokozuna'' licence by the Gojo family in January 1903 though the evidence is obscure. In June 1903, he fought against wrestlers in Tokyo sumo. He gave a very strong performance, defeating ''yokozuna'' Umegatani Tōtarō II and emerged as a threat to the dominance of the strongest ''yokozuna'' in Tokyo sumo, Hitachiyama. His strength was acknowledged when, after a series of meetings between the Osaka and Tokyo sumo associations, he was awarded a ''yokozuna'' license by the Yoshida family in April 1905. The only wrestler active in Osaka sumo to ever receive this recognition.〔 He retired at the early age of 31 in January 1907 owing to an injury suffered in a cycling accident in September 1905, Yamaguchi Prefecture.
