About Nishinoumi Kajirō III

Nishinoumi Kajirō III was a Japanese professional sumo wrestler. He was the sport's 30th yokozuna. Although he didn't record significantly superior results, he was awarded a yokozuna licence in April 1923. Therefore, his promotion was controversial, although championships (yūshō) before January 1926 were officially awarded not by the Sumo Association but by a newspaper, the Osaka Mainichi Shimbun. He won his only championship in May 1925.
