Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Hatnote Шаблон:Infobox sumo wrestler
Шаблон:Nihongo was a Japanese professional sumo wrestler from Kyoto. His highest rank was ōzeki, a rank he reached in November 1833, before dying while as an active wrestler in August 1836. As of November 1833, he is the only wrestler from Kyoto Prefecture to have been promoted to sumo's second highest rank.[1]
Career
Hiodoshi began his career in 1817, benefiting from the shinjo system. When promoted in jūryō in 1823, he inherited the shikona, or ring name, of former ōzeki Hiodoshi I, a master in his stable, who was renowned for his longevity because he wrestled in makuuchi for 21 years. His master later adopted him, making Hiodoshi II his master's legitimate heir. In 1824, he was promoted to the makuuchi division and acquired the patronage of the Hirado Domain.[2]
In his second tournament in sumo's highest division, he achieved a very good score, recording 8 victories and beating most of the opponents ranked above him in the rankings, placing him as tournament leader ex-aequo with the then-komusubi Inazuma. Nonetheless, as Inazuma was the highest-ranked of the two, the winner's honours were awarded to him, as was customary at the time. In 1828 he won back-to-back championships, also reaching the san'yaku ranks for the first time with a direct promotion to sekiwake in that year's final tournament. However, as the yūshō system was not introduced until 1909, his two championship victories are now considered unofficial. These two championships in a row would normally have seen him promoted to ōzeki for 1829, but as the ranking was already occupied by stable and successful wrestlers like Inazuma, his promotion was ruled out and he remained in the rank of sekiwake until 1833. During that year, he was promoted because of the absence of Inazuma, which left the rankings unbalanced. After Inazuma's return, he maintained the rank because he was trusted to be a wrestler able to live up to expectations.[2] Promoted to the second-highest rank in sumo, his ōzeki career was marked by an injury that prevented him from competing at this rank, which led to his demotion back to sekiwake. Hiodoshi wrestled two more tournaments at the rank of sekiwake, achieving a majority win each time, but he died while still an active wrestler in August 1836.
As a wrestler he was known as one of the big names of this period along with Inazuma and Ōnomatsu, the public nicknaming this trio of wrestlers Шаблон:Nihongo.[2] Although Hiodoshi was inferior to both of them in terms of ability and was never promoted to yokozuna, he had a childlike face and was very popular with the public.[3]
He was renowned for his strength and his pushing and thrusting techniques (tsuki/oshi) so much that his technique later became an illegal move and he was forbidden to use it.[4]
