Daishōhō Masami (7 May 1967 – 4 December 1999) was a
komusubi
.
Career
Born in
Takahanada with 11 wins. He reached his highest rank of komusubi in January 1993, but after that he was plagued by a number of injuries to his knees, back and triceps. He fell back to the jūryō division after pulling out of the January 1997 tournament on the 4th day.[citation needed
]
Retirement and death
In 1999 Daishoho was diagnosed with
Sumo Association and his former coach at Nihon University Hidetoshi Tanaka did not attend as it was an unsanctioned event.[2] Daishoho's weight had dropped from 150 kg to below 90 kg. He died on 4 December 1999 at the age of 32 due to pancreatic cancer.[citation needed
]
Fighting style
Daishoho liked pushing techniques, particularly tsuppari, a series of rapid thrusts to the chest. However, he was also good at fighting on the mawashi or belt, where he preferred a migi-yotsu grip, a left hand outside and right hand inside position. His most commonly used kimarite were yorikiri (force out), oshidashi (push out) and uwatenage (overarm throw).
