About the Item
Dimensions: 7.5 x 12 x 18.5 cm
Material: Pottery
Name: Kitanoumi
Period: Showa (1980s)
Kitanoumi Toshimitsu (May 16, 1953 to November 20, 2015), born Toshimitsu Obata (Obata Toshimitsu), was a Japanese professional sumo wrestler. He was the dominant wrestler in the sport during the 1970s.
Kitanoumi was promoted to yokozuna at the age of 21, becoming the youngest ever to achieve sumo's top rank. He won 24 tournament championships during his career and was one of a series of truly great yokozuna who came from Hokkaido, the largest and northernmost prefecture of Japan. At the time of his death he still held the records for most tournaments at yokozuna 63 and most bouts won as a yokozuna 670, but they have since been surpassed. Following his retirement in 1985 he established the Kitanoumi stable. He was chairman of the Japan Sumo Association from 2002 until 2008, and again from 2012 until his death. (Wikipedia)
