Asahikuni Masuo
is a former sumo wrestler from Hokkaidō, Japan. His highest rank was ''ōzeki''. After his retirement he set up Ōshima stable which he ran from 1980 until he left the Japan Sumo Association in 2012 upon reaching the age of 65.
==Career==
Born in Aibetsu, Kamikawa District, Asahikuni made his professional debut in July 1963, joining Tatsunami stable. He reached the second highest ''jūryō'' division in March 1969 and the top ''makuuchi'' division just two tournaments after that. In 1970 he dropped to ''jūryō'' once again but he returned to the top division in 1972, reaching ''sekiwake'' in November.
At the beginning of 1976 Asahikuni put together two strong records of 12-3 and 13-2, finishing as runner-up in both tournaments, and this earned him promotion to the rank of ''ōzeki''. It had taken him 77 tournaments from his professional debut to reach ''ōzeki'', which at the time was the slowest ever. His best tournament result came in July 1977 when he lost just one bout, but he finished as runner-up to Kitanoumi who won with a perfect record. Asahikuni was never able to win a top division championship, this being his fourth and final runner-up performance.
He retired in September 1979 after 21 tournaments as an ''ōzeki''. His retirement was enforced, as he had broken his shoulder in a bout with Mienoumi. The two wrestlers had been friends as well as rivals, having made their professional debuts in the same month, and their friendship survived the incident.〔
