Mienoumi Tsuyoshi ( Japanese. 三重 ノ 海 剛 司 ), proper Ishiyama Gorō ( 石山 五郎 ; born February 4, 1948 in Matsusaka , Mie Prefecture ) is a former Japanese sumo wrestler . He was the 57th yokozuna .
Mienoumi appeared as a fighter of the old and renowned Dewanoumi wrestling team in July 1963 for the first time at a sumo tournament . In September 1969 he fought for the first time in the Makuuchi Division, the highest league in Japanese professional sumo. In July 1970, he reached for the first time sanyaku -Ränge by the promotion to komusubi , in the next tournament even to sekiwake . However, a 6-9 make-koshi in September 1970 dropped him back on the table. Only next November he reached the top ranks again and successfully defended his position as sekiwake haridashi , ie additional sekiwake , until next July - there are usually only two fighters in this rank, back then there were five. Then Mienoumi descended into the ranks of the maegashira , was able to fight his way up again and was relegated again. In 1975 Mienoumi was able to win as a sekiwake with 13 wins in 15 encounters not only the technician's award and the award for special achievement, but also achieve his first tournament victory ( yusho ), after which he was classified as Ōzeki .
Mienoumi's "elevator career" did not end, however; in his second and third tournament the defeats accumulated. After that, he was downgraded to Sekiwake again. However, in July 1976, with a good 10-5 result, he forced the promotion to the second-highest rank according to the rule that was newly introduced at the time. He held the title of Ōzeki until his second tournament victory in 1979, when at the age of 31 he achieved several excellent results, but no tournament victory, which was enough for those in charge to make him the fourth simultaneously reigning yokozuna alongside Wajima , Kitanoumi and Wakanohana to appoint.
His further active career was initially promising, he won the November tournament of the year with 14-1, the following Hatsu basho in January with a sovereign 15 wins. In 1980 Mienoumi's wrestling career ended after a nominal eight tournaments in which he had suffered make-koshi and had been absent as often as he had fought. His record is 695 wins, 525 losses and one draw (against Futagotake ). He did not run 56 times. To this day he was the last yokozuna of the Dewanoumi-beya.
As usual in the sumo world, Mienoumi took over after his time as a wrestler tasks as a sports functionary in the Nihon Sumo Kyokai . After first acquiring the Yamashina share, he founded the Musashigawa-beya as his own stable. With that he was extremely successful. His school not only arose from the yokozuna Musashimaru , but also the Ōzeki Dejima , Musōyama and Miyabiyama .
