  Chiyonofuji Mitsugu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chiyonofuji Mitsugu (千代の富士貢, June 1, 1955-) is a former champion sumo wrestler, the 58th Yokozuna of the sport.
Chiyonofuji was one of the greatest yokozuna of recent times, winning 31 tournament championships, second only to Taihō.
However, Chiyonofuji was undoubtably slowing down, and his victory in the Kyushu tournament of November 1990 proved to be his last (he won this particular basho eight years in a row from 1981-1988, another record).

Wie Taiho und Kitanoumi gilt auch Chiyonofuji als einer der großen Sumōringer von der Insel Hokkaido.
Chiyonofuji schlug nach dem Ende seiner aktiven Laufbahn das Angebot des Sumōverbands aus, eine anteilsunabhängige Mitgliedschaft zu übernehmen, und zog es vor, einen regulären Anteil zu erwerben.
Danach war er als Trainer erfolgreich: Als Kokonoe Mitsugu, wie er seit 1992 als Boss des Stalls Kokonoe-beya heißt, bildete er erfolgreiche Schüler wie Chiyotaikai und Chiyotenzan heran.

Born in Hokkaido in 1955, Chiyonofuji Mitsugu made his wrestling debut at the age of fifteen.
Chiyonofuji retired in 1991, and is now head of the Kokonoe stable.
Yet Chiyonofuji reigned supreme in a decade when sumo first received real international recognition-and for this reason alone, he is probably the most famous champion of all.

 Chiyonofuji - Wikipedia
Chiyonofuji Mitsugu (千代の富士貢 Hokkaido, 1 giugno 1955) è stato un grande lottatore di sumo giapponese.
Chiyonofuji è stato uno dei più forti combattenti di sumo del suo periodo: vinse infatti 31 tornei e fu secondo soltanto a Taiho.
In uno sport dove il peso è da considerare assolutamente fondamentale, Chiyonofuji era abbastanza "magro", fermandosi ad una stazza di circa 125 chilogrammi.

 Asashoryu Akinori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The highlights of his career to date include two consecutive perfect 15-0 wins (zensho yusho) in January and March of 2004 with a streak of 35 unbeaten bouts in total (nobody had won 15-0 since 1996).
On November 27, 2004, Asashoryu became the first wrestler to win five tournaments in a year since Chiyonofuji achieved the feat 18 years ago, and won his ninth Emperor's Cup.
It has been speculated that one reason for Asashoryu's relatively disappointing performance in the Autumn basho of 2004, the only one he did not win, was his marriage to his Mongolian fiancée for which the official ceremony was later held in August 2004 (although he actually married her in December 2002).

 Mitsugu Chiyonofuji - Wikipédia
Mitsugu Chiyonofuji (en japonais Chiyonofuji Mitsugu 千代の富士貢, né le 1er Juin 1955 à Hokkaido), de son vrai nom Mitsugu Akimoto, est un ancien un lutteur de Sumo japonais.
Fils de pêcheur, originaire de l'île de Hokkaido comme Taiho et Kitanoumi, il débute sa carrière en 1970 à l'âge de 15 ans, prenant le nom de Chiyonofuji, mais se voit handicapé par son relatif petit gabarit (1m 83 pour 127 kg) et une blessure récurrente à l'épaule.
Il est promu rapidement (Juryo en 1974, Makuuchi en 1975), et atteint le rang d'Ozeki en mars 1981 après sa victoire au Hatsu Basho.

Onokuni attempted to launch his own attack but Chiyonofuji was able to break it up with an arm throw attempt, finally beating his fellow yokozuna by uwatenage (overarm throw).
At the tachi-ai or initial charge, Chiyonofuji immediately got a right hand inside grip while getting a solid left hand on the outside of his opponent's mawashi.
That win was an unprecedented moment in an already illustrious career as it marked Chiyonofuji's 1,000th career victory.

Stallkollege Wakanohana war schon längst Yokozuna, als Takanosato 1982 mit schon fast 30 Jahren zum Ōzeki ernannt wurde.
Er hielt seine Form auch in den anschließenden Turnieren, und sein Turniersieg im Juli 1983 überzeugte die Verantwortlichen, ihm den Titel Yokozuna zuzugestehen.
