Hamanoshima Keishi (濱ノ嶋 啓志, born 21 March 1970 as Keishi Hamasu) is a former

komusubi. After his retirement from active competition in 2004 he became an elder of the Japan Sumo Association and founded Onoe stable
in 2006, which has produced a number of top division wrestlers.

Career

He took part in national sumo competitions at high school and was an amateur champion at

makushita
division for the last two years of his career.

Retirement from sumo

He retired in May 2004, becoming an

Satoyama. This marked the first time since Aobajō left Nishonoseki stable for Oshiogawa stable
in 1975 that a makuuchi wrestler had left an established stable for a newly founded one. The Sumo Association subsequently tightened the rules for branching out, requiring elders wishing to set up their own stables to have at least 60 tournaments in the top division or 25 in san'yaku (which would have prevented Onoe from branching out had new rules been in place then).

In April 2011 three of his wrestlers (

driving while intoxicated.[1] Onoe apologised for his actions at a press conference.[1]

Fighting style

Hamanoshima was a yotsu-sumo wrestler, who preferred grabbing the mawashi to pushing or thrusting. He favoured a hidari-yotsu grip, with his right hand outside and left hand inside his opponent's position. His most common winning kimarite was a straightforward yori-kiri or force out. He was also fond of tsuki-otoshi, or thrust over. He was known for stalling at the tachi-ai to unsettle his opponents.
