Ōshio Kenji
Ōshio Kenji (born 4 January 1948 as Kenji Hatano) is a former sumo wrestler from Kitakyushu, Japan. His highest rank was ''komusubi''. His career lasted twenty six years, from 1962 until 1988, and he holds the record for the most bouts contested in professional sumo.
==Career==
He was born in Yahata Higashi ward. He made his professional debut in January 1962 at the age of just 14, joining Tokitsukaze stable. His first stablemaster was the former ''yokozuna'' Futabayama. He initially fought under his own surname, Hatano, before adopting the ''shikona'' of Ōshio in 1969. He reached the second highest ''jūryō'' division in November 1969 and was promoted to the top ''makuuchi'' division for the first time in September 1971. He reached his top rank of ''komusubi'' in January 1978, but held it for only one tournament. In the May 1978 tournament he defeated Wajima on the opening day, his first ever victory over a ''yokozuna''. He was to earn two more ''kinboshi'' in September 1982 and January 1983, at the age of 35. He also earned two special prizes, for Technique and Fighting Spirit.
During his extraordinarily long career Ōshio was ranked in ''makuuchi'' for 51 tournaments and 55 tournaments in ''jūryō'', for a total of 106 ranked as an elite ''sekitori'' wrestler, a record that stood until 2002 when it was broken by Terao. He holds the "elevator" record for going between ''makuuchi'' and ''jūryō'' a total of 13 times. The longest he was able to stay in the top division consecutively was 18 tournaments between January 1981 and November 1983. He fell from ''makuuchi'' for the last time in May 1984 and announced his retirement in January 1988 at the age of forty after falling into the non-salaried ''makushita'' division.〔 He had competed in 157 tournaments, and had fought a total of 1891 career bouts, which is an all-time record.〔Tochitenko fought in 175 tournaments but had only 1246 matches due to being mostly ranked in lower divisions where wrestlers fight only seven bouts per tournament.〕 His total of 964 career wins was also a record at the time, although it was surpassed by Chiyonofuji less than two years later, in September 1989.
