He made his professional debut in January 1996, and reached the top division in May 1999. His highest rank was maegashira 11. He retired in November 2005. He became an elder of the Japan Sumo Association and worked as a coach at Irumagawa stable, leaving in 2012.He began doing sumo from the fourth grade of elementary school. At Nihon University he was a member of the Nichi-Dai Sumo Club and was in the same year as Kaih\u014d. Because of his amateur achievements he was given special dispensation to begin his professional career at the bottom of the third highest makushita division. He joined Irumagawa stable, run by another Nihon University graduate, ex-sekiwake Tochitsukasa. He made his debut in January 1996, fighting under his own surname of Suzuki. Upon reaching sekitori status in May 1998 he switched to the shikona of Y\u014dtsukasa, the tsukasa suffix being a common one at his stable. His stablemaster liked the combination of the “fire” and “flower” kanji, hoping that his sumo would “ignite fire and transform himself as a brilliant flower”.[1] He reached the top makuuchi division a year later in May 1999. He withdrew injured from his third top division tournament and was demoted back to the j\u016bry\u014d division as a result. In November 2001 he lost sekitori status altogether after a 3\u201312 record at J\u016bry\u014d 11 but he returned to the j\u016bry\u014d division in November 2002 and was promoted back to the makuuchi division in May 2003 after an absence of 22 tournaments. His last appearance in the top division was in March 2004.Retirement[edit]Y\u014dksukaza’s final tournament was in November 2005. Ranked right at the bottom of the j\u016bry\u014d division at no. 14 East, he lost every one of his first fourteen matches, defaulting on the final day to end with a rare 0\u201315 record. He was the first sekitori to suffer this embarrassing score since Hoshitango in 2000. He immediately announced his retirement rather than face demotion to makushita.Y\u014dtsukasa was unable to acquire permanent elder stock in the Japan Sumo Association and so had to borrow elder names owned by active wrestlers or stable-masters. He was variously known as Y\u014dtsukasa (jun-toshiyori), Hatachiyama (owned by Tochinohana), Wakafuji (Otsukasa), Sekinoto (Iwakiyama), Onogawa (Kitanoumi), Sendagawa, (Maenoyama) and Takenawa (Tochinonada). He was finally forced to leave the Sumo Association in January 2012 when Tochinonada retired and no other elder names were available. He later worked for a cleaning company in Tokyo.Fighting style[edit]Y\u014dtsukasa was an oshi-sumo specialist, preferring tsuki-oshi (pushing and thrusting) techniques to fighting on the mawashi or belt. He won most of his bouts by a straightforward oshi-dashi, or push out, although his personal favourite was tsuki-otoshi, or thrust over.Career record[edit]Y\u014dtsukasa Dai[2]Year in sumoJanuaryHatsu basho, TokyoMarchHaru basho, OsakaMayNatsu basho, TokyoJulyNagoya basho, NagoyaSeptemberAki basho, TokyoNovemberKy\u016bsh\u016b basho, Fukuoka1996Makushita tsukedashi #606\u20131\u00a0East Makushita #313\u20134\u00a0East Makushita #424\u20133\u00a0West Makushita #324\u20133\u00a0West Makushita #214\u20133\u00a0West Makushita #131\u20136\u00a01997West Makushita #383\u20134\u00a0West Makushita #486\u20131\u2013P\u00a0East Makushita #226\u20131\u2013P\u00a0West Makushita #85\u20132\u00a0East Makushita #44\u20133\u00a0East Makushita #23\u20134\u00a01998East Makushita #64\u20133\u00a0East Makushita #56\u20131\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #129\u20136\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #87\u20138\u00a0East J\u016bry\u014d #119\u20136\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #77\u20138\u00a01999West J\u016bry\u014d #99\u20136\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #18\u20137\u00a0East Maegashira #159\u20136\u00a0East Maegashira #127\u20138\u00a0West Maegashira #130\u20133\u201312\u00a0East J\u016bry\u014d #79\u20136\u00a02000West J\u016bry\u014d #23\u201312\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #108\u20137\u00a0East J\u016bry\u014d #68\u20137\u00a0East J\u016bry\u014d #56\u20139\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #75\u201310\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #119\u20136\u00a02001East J\u016bry\u014d #57\u20138\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #56\u20139\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #78\u20137\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #46\u20139\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #76\u20139\u00a0East J\u016bry\u014d #113\u201312\u00a02002East Makushita #83\u20134\u00a0East Makushita #144\u20133\u00a0East Makushita #124\u20133\u00a0East Makushita #85\u20132\u00a0West Makushita #25\u20132\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #109\u20136\u00a02003East J\u016bry\u014d #710\u20135\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #19\u20136\u00a0East Maegashira #136\u20139\u00a0East J\u016bry\u014d #18\u20137\u00a0West Maegashira #137\u20138\u00a0West Maegashira #159\u20136\u00a02004East Maegashira #115\u201310\u00a0East Maegashira #176\u20139\u00a0East J\u016bry\u014d #36\u20139\u00a0East J\u016bry\u014d #57\u20138\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #68\u20137\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #54\u201311\u00a02005West J\u016bry\u014d #96\u20139\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #128\u20137\u00a0East J\u016bry\u014d #107\u20138\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #116\u20139\u00a0West J\u016bry\u014d #137\u20138\u00a0East J\u016bry\u014d #14Retired0\u201315Record given as win-loss-absent\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Top Division Champion\u00a0Top Division Runner-up\u00a0Retired\u00a0Lower DivisionsSansh\u014d key: F=Fighting spirit; O=Outstanding performance; T=Technique\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Also shown: \u2605=Kinboshi; P=Playoff(s)Divisions: Makuuchi \u2014 J\u016bry\u014d \u2014 Makushita \u2014 Sandanme \u2014 Jonidan  \u2014 JonokuchiMakuuchi ranks:\u00a0Yokozuna \u2014 \u014czeki \u2014 Sekiwake \u2014 Komusubi \u2014 MaegashiraSee also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Y\u014dtsukasa Dai‘s official biography (English) at the Grand Sumo Homepage  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/yotsukasa-dai-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Y\u014dtsukasa Dai – Wikipedia"}}]}]
