Career
[edit]He joined sumo in May 1968 at the age of just 14, competing under his own surname of Obori. He was considered a very promising prospect and after winning his firstjūryōdivision championship in May 1973 he was given theshikonaor fighting name Ōnishiki, after a great wrestler from hisDewanoumi stable,the 26thyokozunaŌnishiki Uichirō.Just two tournaments later he became the first wrestler in sumo history to win all threesanshōor special prizes, for Fighting Spirit, Technique and Outstanding Performance, in his debut top division tournament. He was also runner–up in thisbashoand earned his firstkinboshior gold star by defeatingyokozunaKotozakura.He was promoted straight tokomusubi,which was to be his highest rank, but he suffered a serious back injury and scored only 3–12. He never made the rank again. As well his back problem he also suffered from knee problems and diabetes, and spent the rest of his career moving up and down the ranks of the two salaried divisions. He was to win seven morekinboshi,but he was also demoted tojūryōon a number of occasions, where he picked up three morejūryōchampionships. He only fell to the thirdmakushitadivision once during this period though. In this tournament in May 1979 atmakushita1 he posted a perfect 7-0 record, took the championship, and also handedItaihis first defeat in professional sumo, ending aconsecutive winning streakfrom debut which was a record at that time. In September 1982 he became the first wrestler to immediately follow a win by default (overKoboyama) with a loss by default. He retired in January 1988 rather than face demotion to themakushitadivision again.
Retirement
[edit]Onishiki remained in sumo as atoshiyorior elder, and was known as Yamashina Oyakata. He worked as a coach at Dewanoumi stable and as a member of theJapan Sumo Association′s board of directors, holding the Special Executive position. He retired from the Sumo Association in September 2018 after turning 65 years of age.[2]
