Short Biography
Haguroyama Masaji (羽黒山 政司, November 18, 1914 – October 14, 1969) was a sumo wrestler from Nakanokuchi, Niigata, Japan. He was the sport's 36th yokozuna. He was a yokozuna for a period of twelve years and three months dating from his promotion to that rank in May 1941 until his retirement in September 1953, which is an all-time record. During his career Haguroyama won seven top division championships and was runner-up on six other occasions. However, he was always in the shadow of yokozuna Futabayama Sadaji, who came from the same stable. After his retirement he was the head coach of Tatsunami until his death in 1969.
