Calling all sumo scholars



Here's a question for the eccentric sumo historians on this list. In the 1954 Haru Basho, Daitenryu (later known as Kaizan) won the Kanto-sho, the first and only sansho of his career. In Kyodo's 2002 Rikishi Directory, he is listed as a rank I've never heard of. The kanji looks like it can be read as "chozen" or "harimae", but I can't find that kanji compound in any of my dictionaries. Any ideas what it is? Thanks for the help.
