Description
Takayoshi Taikyuzan (September 5, 1907-June 14, 1983) is a former sumo wrestler from Kojima-gun, Okayama Prefecture (currently Tamano City, Okayama Prefecture). His real name is Satoshi Usui.
Born September 5, 1907 in Kojima-gun, Okayama Prefecture, to the home of an Army merchant. He admired Tsunenohana Kanichi, who is active in the horny world, and entered the Dewanoumi stable in the fall of 1924, and stepped on the first bale in January 1925. His shikona name, "Daegu Mountain," is derived from the current city of Daegu, South Korea, which makes it look like he is from the Korean Peninsula, but due to the work of his father, who was an Army merchant. It is because the family lived in the same area. From the first ring, he made a good start, and was promoted to Juryo due to the Shunjuen Incident that broke out in 1932, and in May of the same year, he made a new start. Even after his opening, he was popular for his characteristic fierce struggle exchange and the dashing approach that made heavy use of the upper left hand throw from the right four, which he is good at. [1]
In January 1934, Minanogawa Tozo, who won the championship in the same place, was given a black star with a daring head throw and left a good result of 8 wins and 3 losses. Was promoted to Sekiwake [1]. There was a voice that it wasn't too long to be promoted to Ozeki after winning in Sekiwake, but Eigoro Maedayama couldn't do it. Around this time, he became the son-in-law of Yamashina, succeeding Toshiyori Yamashina, and served as an active player with two cards.
However, he was disqualified for serving in the military shortly after the May 1941 location due to the Sino-Japanese War. Although he was not listed in the ranking because he returned to the place in January 1944, he served as a ring in the Makuuchi rank, but he lost a lot with 4 wins and 11 losses due to fatigue during military service, and finally retired from active duty at that place, the elderly. Became managing director. He divorced shortly after the war, changing his name to Magaki and closing the association in January 1950. After his closure, he turned into a businessman and ran a commerce like his father. He died on June 14, 1983, died at the age of 75.
episode
In the Shunjuen Incident that broke out in 1932, Takayoshi Taikyuzan was the keeper of Tenryu Saburo, the mastermind of the incident. For this reason, he was trying to act with Tenryu in the incident, but Tenryu told him to stay in the room because Takayoshi Taikyuzan was still a sumo wrestler. It was Tenryu who came to pick me up when Taikyuzan entered the Dewanoumi stable, so I admire him as a big brother. He put a picture of him and said he always worshiped him before he entered the place.
Futabayama Sadaji, who was regarded as a rival from the beginning, was on good terms even outside the ring [1], and I knew from an early stage that Futabayama's right eye was blind, but the Dewanoumi stable to which Taikyuzan belonged. Then, because he spent all his time practicing hard every day with the slogan "Overthrow Futaba", he never leaked the secret to others even though he was the head of the room. In this way, because of Futabayama's rapid advance and good friendship with Taikyuzan, the two were collectively called "two flower-shaped wrestlers under the umbrella of Daitetsu."
On the other hand, since Futabayama reached its heyday, he lost confidence and a sense of opposition to the extent that he decided to lose in every effort, saying, "I will lose anyway, so if I get injured, I will lose." By the way, the result of the match against Futabayama was 2 wins and 11 losses, and he lost to Futabayama eight times in a row after he scored a white star in January 1934. [2]
When the tour was canceled in the rain, I once drank 1 to 3 sho (about 23.4 liters) of sake in the dormitory for a whole day.
