Haguroyama Sojō, born as Osamu Annen (23 February 1934 — 8 February 2021) was a Japanese

Hokkaidō
.

Sumo career

As an active wrestler he was first known as Annenyama and reached a highest rank of

Yokozuna Haguroyama Masaji. He was also runner-up in the November 1959 tournament and over the course of his top division career earned ten gold stars for defeating yokozuna. However, he also lost all of 21 bouts against yokozuna Taihō Kōki
.

Coaching career

After retiring in 1965 he remained in the sumo world as an elder under the name Oitekaze. He became head coach of

Asahikuni. He coached Kōji Kitao to the top division in 1984, who became the 60th Yokozuna Futahaguro in 1986. However, after the two had a heated argument in December 1987 Futahaguro struck Tatsunami's wife and stormed out of the stable.[1]
Futahaguro was forced to resign by the Japan Sumo Association and Tatsunami filled out the yokozuna's retirement papers, the first time this had ever been done to a wrestler with elite sekitori status.[1] Tatsunami was punished by a salary cut and told to stay away from all Sumo Association functions for three months.[1] He later produced a number of other top division wrestlers such as Daishōhō and Daishōyama.

In February 1999 he reached the mandatory retirement age and passed on control of the stable to former

yen, the sum he would have had to pay for the right to the Tatsunami elder stock had he not been married to Annen's daughter.[3] This was the first time a price had been revealed for elder stock, as the sums are normally kept secret. However, the Tokyo High Court in January 2004 overturned the original verdict.[4]

Personal life and death

Haguroyama died in a hospital in Tokyo, on 8 February 2021, at the age of 86. His death was not formally announced by the Japan Sumo Association until December of the same year.[5]
