Wakashimazu Mutsuo
Wakashimazu Mutsuo (born 12 January 1957 as Mutsuo Hidaka) is a former sumo wrestler from Nakatane, Kagoshima, Japan. His highest rank was ''ōzeki''. He won two top division ''yūshō'' or tournament championships. He retired in 1987 and is now the head coach of Nishonoseki stable.
==Career==
Wakashimazu wrestled for Futagoyama stable, joining in March 1975. Unlike most professional sumo wrestlers, he did not join from junior high school but instead joined after completing high school. He was a high school sumo champion but needed some persuasion from his stablemaster that he would be able to put on enough weight to succeed in professional sumo. He reached the salaried ''sekitori'' ranks in March 1980 upon promotion to the ''jūryō'' division and reached the top ''makuuchi'' division in January 1981. He scored 10 wins in his ''makuuchi'' debut. He moved quickly through the division, winning five special prizes, two for fighting spirit and three for technique. He reached sumo's second highest rank of ''ōzeki'' in January 1983. He broke his leg in the following tournament in March of that year, but made a remarkably quick recovery, posting 13-2 in the next tournament in May 1983.〔
Wakashimazu was popular with the crowds and his lean and swarthy appearance led to him being nicknamed the "Black Panther".〔 His best year was in 1984, when he won more bouts than any other wrestler. He took two top division tournament championships in March and July, the second with a perfect 15-0 record, but he could manage only third place in the September 1984 tournament and missed out on promotion to the highest rank of ''yokozuna''. From November 1985 his results started to decline, and in an attempt to change his luck he switched from his trademark kelly green ''mawashi'' to a light blue one, but soon switched back when results did not improve.〔 He retired in July 1987 at the age of thirty, leaving the Futagoyama stable without anyone in the ''san'yaku'' ranks for the first time in over fifteen years.〔
