SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO FUJINISHIKI
Sumo world was sad after the bad news of Fujinishiki's death,
in 2003 december, 17th.
Ex-komusubi Fujinishiki known as former Takasago-beya Oyakata,
was a very successful oyakata, "father" of rikishi like
Konishiki, Mitoizumi, Asanowaka, Toki and many others.

Fujinishiki was the 1049th rikishi to access makuuchi in the whole
sumo story.
He also became the 298th komusubi in 1960, at Haru Basho.
Up to Hatsu basho 1967, he managed to be komusubi at 10 basho.
At Nagoya 1964, he won a 14-1 yusho as a maegahira 9.
Fantastic performance ! Just think the same year,
Taiho, the big legend, won 4 yusho ... |  |
Fujinishiki has been immortalized into a very famous James Bond 007 movie :
where he played his own role vs. former legend Kotozakura during a fantastic 3 minutes bout !
