Re: Hanada (Shikona (Rikishi name))

[abe@kaleida.com (Masumi Abe)]

I know that many of you could guess 4 members of famous Hanada family, 45th
Yokozuna Wakanohana-I, Ozeki Takanohana-I, currently active Ozeki Hanada
brothers (Wakanohana-III & Takanohana-II).

The other Yokozuna with Hanada name is 49th Yokozuna Tochinoumi Teruyoshi
of Kasugano-beya. His real name is HANADA Shigehiro, and currently he is
Kasugano Oyakata and the right hand man to Dewanoumi Rijicho. He is from
Aomori prefecture, the same prefecture Yokozuna Wakanohana-I was from. His
body size was 177cm and 110kg, about the same size with Wakanohana's 179cm
and 108kg, but among other relatively big yokozuna (Taiho, Kashado and
Sadanoyama), he looked really small for Yokozuna. He won 3 yosho.
