Shunketsu Yūji (born July 13, 1976 as Yūji Ishide) is a former sumo wrestler from Misato, Saitama, Japan. The highest rank he reached was ''maegashira'' 12. ==Career== Shunketsu made his professional debut in March 1992, alongside several future top division regulars such as Kyokushuzan, Wakanosato and Takanowaka. He weighed only just over and remained one of the lightest wrestlers in the senior ranks, only managing to put on around in subsequent years. Shunketsu used several different ''shikona'' during his career. He began using his own surname, Ishide. Upon promotion to ''sekitori'' status for the first time in January 2001 he was given the name Komahikari. However, after falling back to the unsalaried ''makushita'' division he reverted to Ishide. He retained this name until November 2005 when he became Shunketsu. Shunketsu spent only five tournaments in the top ''makuuchi'' division, and only made ''kachi-koshi'' there once. He was ranked in the second ''jūryō'' division for 25 tournaments. In recent years he was the only ''sekitori'' from Hanaregoma stable, which once produced ''yokozuna'' Onokuni. Since falling from the top division with a 4-11 record in January 2006 he rarely looked like returning, managing to win more than 8 bouts on only one occasion (in July 2006 when he slid to the bottom of the second division at ''jūryō'' 13 West and produced a 10-5 score). From November 2006 to May 2007 he managed four consecutive winning scores (eight wins each time), which took him up to ''jūryō'' 1 West, but he had five consecutive losing scores after that. After a 3-12 record in March 2008 at the rank of ''jūryō'' 11 West, and facing certain demotion to the third division, he announced his retirement. He won one ''yusho'' or tournament title in the ''makushita'' division (a perfect 7-0 score in November 2000 which earned him automatic promotion to the ''jūryō'' division for the first time), and one in the ''jūryō'' division (a 12-3 score in November 2004). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shunketsu Yūji」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
