I'll take a stab.  Might the Oyakata in question be the former Dewanohana?
I'm pretty sure he's a Nichidai grad.

[SNIP]

The friend I was referring to was, I think, the first of the Nichidai 
sumotori  not to join a heya in the Asagaya group. I have been in his 
heya's koenkai  for around 25 years, and during his active career I was a 
member of his personal koenkai as well. He is now a judge. OK, all you sumo 
experts, WHO IS HE? (my money's on Stefan or Achim, with a place bet on 
Moti except that he's been busy with Passover)

Best wishes,
