About Sakaigawa Namiemon
Sakaigawa Namiemon was a Japanese professional sumo wrestler from Katsushika District, Shimōsa Province. He was the sport's 14th yokozuna. Nicknamed "Tanikaze of the Meiji era", he's the only officially recognized yokozuna of the "yokozuna abuse era" following the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate. He won the equivalent of his first tournament championship in June 1868 from the maegashira ranks, emerging undefeated with eight wins (though this was before the championship system established in 1909). Following his promotion, he changed his ring name to Sakaigawa Namiemon (境川 浪右衛門) and became the head of his stable while still competing. His record after being licensed as yokozuna was 20 wins, 8 losses, 20 draws, 3 holds, and 30 absences. In the top makuuchi division, he won 118 bouts and lost 23 bouts, recording a winning percentage of 83.7.
