Daishi Nobuyuki Biography

Daishi Nobuyuki is one of the most popular and richest Sumo Wrestler who was born on August 23, 1968 in Hitachi, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.

He joined Oshiogawa stable in March 1984 after completing junior high school. Fighting under his own surname of Takano, he weighed 114 kg in his debut but he struggled to adapt and his weight dropped to 98 kg by November 1985. He rose slowly up the ranks, adopting the shikona of Daishi in 1987 and steadily increasing his weight to 143 kg by 1992, around average. In May 1993 after nine years in sumo he finally reached sekitori status upon promotion to the juryo division. He reached the top makuuchi division in July 1994. He fought in the top division for 23 tournaments, compiling a record of 145 wins against 191 losses, but never managed to win a special prize or defeat a yokozuna. His highest rank was maegashira 3, which he reached in July 1996. He was demoted from makuuchi in July 1997, but managed to return in September 2000 after three years in juryo. He retired in March 2002 after a 3–12 record at juryo 9 left him facing demotion to makushita.

He remained in sumo as Daishi Oyakata under the jun-toshiyori system, working as a coach at Oshiogawa stable. With his stablemaster, former ozeki Daikirin, due to reach the mandatory retirement age in 2007 it was thought Daishi might be in line to take over the running of the stable. However, he left the Sumo Association in June 2003, ahead of the two year grace period he had to acquire a permanent toshiyori, to launch a career as a professional singer. He had been allowed by the Sumo Association to record a CD and sing at danpatsu- shiki, but only jinku music. He continued to sing to the audience at retirement ceremonies, such as yokozuna Takanohana’s in 2003, ozeki Musoyama’s in 2005, and Wakatenro’s in 2011. He produced a jinku CD by active top division wrestler Ikioi in 2012. He auditioned for the role of the Genie in Aladdin in 2014.
