Softcover. Condition: Like New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. One of the greatest sekiwake in sumo history, Takamiya Daigoro, has left behind him an impressive record that very few rikishi (wrestlers) below the rank of ozeki can match.

He also won a record number of 12 kinboshi (a gold star given to a maegashira for upsetting a yokozuna), chalked up a total of 10 san-sho (three special prizes), set records for consecutive tournaments in makunouchi (97) as well as consecutive bouts in the top division (1.231), ans was third on the all-time list of most wins in makunouchi (683) at the time of his retirement. But the greatest of this simple Hawaiian from Happy Valley on the island of Maui is not just a matter of statistics. He is probably responsible for creating more good will between the Japanese people and the foreign community than any other single person.…
