出羽海部屋
Tochigiyama defeated other wrestlers with his strong "oshi", or pushing techniques. He compensated for his lack of weight by training extremely hard. He was nicknamed the "little giant "yokozuna"". Like Hitachiyama before him, he trained many wrestlers, such as later "yokozuna" Tamanishiki San'emon, even though they were not members of the Dewanoumi stable.
