Hanakaze Daisaku Biography

Hanakaze Daisaku is one of the most popular and richest Wrestler who was born on May 28, 1970 in Tokyo, Japan.

In the beginning of his career, he had three losing tournaments in a row, missed his fourth tournament, and dropped off the banzuke by the end of 1986. He returned to active sumo in March 1987, exactly on year after his initial debut. In this tournament he became the first wrestler to win a match in the newly rebuilt Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium. Since this time he has not missed a single tournament in over 31 years, although he has occasionally missed matches within tournaments due to injury. It would be July 1987 before he would receive his first kachi-koshi (majority of wins) tournament. He got his first 6–1 record in November 1988, a feat he has achieved 9 times in his career. He has never had an undefeated 7-0 tournament. Conversely, in tournaments he was active in, he has had a winless 0–7 tournament three times in his career. Two of those occasions were the first and last tournaments of the Heisei era (January 1989 and March 2019). His highest rank achieved is sandanme 18 in November 2003, which was incidentally one of his winless tournaments. He battled for thirteen years with the shikona of Tatsuyamaguchi before changing it to the current Hanakaze in July 1999. He has been promoted to the sandanme division a record 19 times.

Though Hanakaze has never reached the top, salaried ranks, he has a number of notable longevity records. Upon the retirement of Tochitenkō in May 2011 he became the oldest active wrestler in sumo, and also simultaneously tied with Hokutōryū for longest active career as they both joined sumo in March 1986. In 2016, both Hanakaze and Hokutōryū simultaneously became the longest serving sumo wrestlers ever, passing the largely uninterrupted, nearly 30-year career set by the legendary Miyagino Nishikinosuke (active 1766–1796, a contemporary of Tanikaze, historically accepted as the sport’s first documented yokozuna). After Hokutōryū retired following the March 2017 tournament, Hanakaze solely holds the record for longest career ever in the centuries long history of sumo; a career spanning 33 years as of March 2019. He is also the only remaining active wrestler who began his career in the Showa era, which ended in January 1989. He reached another milestone in the following May tournament, when he passed already retired Ichinoya to become the oldest wrestler since the beginning of the Showa era, which began in 1926.
