###

Buenos Aires, Argentina

**Hoshitango Imachi** (星誕期 偉真智, born **Imachi Marcelo Salomon**; September 5, 1965) is an Argentine-born Japanese former professional sumo wrestler and current professional wrestler. His highest rank was *Jūryō* 3.

## Life and career

A former swimming instructor, Salomon joined Michinoku stable in May 1987. He was the first Jew in professional sumo. He was given the *shikona* of Hoshitango, with "Hoshi" (star) a common prefix in Michinoku stable, and "tango" a reference, of course, to the popular dance. He reached the second highest *jūryō* division for the first time in September 1992, but lasted only one tournament there before being demoted back to the unsalaried third *makushita* division. He managed another three tournaments in the second division in 1994 but once again fell back. In September 1998, at the age of 33, he demonstrated his fighting spirit by once again returning to *jūryō*, this time remaining for 12 straight tournaments. He was not able to break into the top *makuuchi* division, peaking at *jūryō* 3 in January 2000. In July 2000 he lost every one of his fifteen bouts and fell, once more, to the third division where he remained until his retirement in January 2004. His retirement ceremony or *danpatsu-shiki* was attended by around 150 people including stablemates Jumonji and Toyozakura as well as the former Terao and Kirishima, who as his stablemaster made the final cut of his topknot.

Hoshitango was joined at Michinoku stable in 1988 by another Buenos Aires native, Hoshiandesu, who reached a highest rank of *jūryō* 2 before retiring in 2000.

Hoshitango became a Japanese citizen in October 2000. His Japanese name was registered as Tango Hoshi.

Imachi is currently a professional wrestler for the Japanese company DDT (Dramatic Dream Team) and has also wrestled for HUSTLE, Ice Ribbon and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Hoshitango has recently become part of the Monster Army stable with members Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki and Yuji Hino, since joining the team in August 2011. Hoshitango has had multiple title matches for the KO-D Tag Team Championship and is a former DDT Extreme Division Champion. On June 23, 2013, Hoshitango, Honda and Hino won the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship.

IWGP Heavyweight Championship (original version)

The original version of **IWGP Heavyweight Championship** (IWGPヘビー級選手権, *IWGP hebī-kyū ōza*) was a professional wrestling world heavyweight championship owned by the New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) promotion. "IWGP" is the initialism of NJPW's governing body, the International Wrestling Grand Prix.

The title was introduced in 1983 for the winner of the IWGP League 1983. Since then, the championship was defended annually against the winner of the IWGP League of the year. The current IWGP Heavyweight Championship arrived only on 1987 (replacing the old version) and is defended regularly.

## Title history

To determinate the first champion, the championship was on the line in the 1983 edition of the IWGP League, a 10-man round-robin tournament, where participated wrestlers from any corner of the world, including World Heavyweight Champions from other international promotions (such as Canek, at the time UWA World Heavyweight Champion or Otto Wanz, at the time CWA World Heavyweight Champion).

Hulk Hogan won the tournament beating Antonio Inoki via knockout and became the first IWGP Heavyweight Champion in its early version.

Since then, the championship was defended annually against the winner of the IWGP League of the year.
Antonio Inoki won the title in 1984 and successfully defended it in 1985 against Andrè the Giant (IWGP League winner of 1985) and Hulk Hogan. Hogan was the only challenger that didn't win the tournament to become the no. 1 contender to the championship.

In 1986, Inoki chooses to leave the title, because he wanted to participate in the IWGP League again. So, 1986 edition would have crowned a new IWGP Heavyweight Champion, as happened in 1983 edition. Inoki won again and became champion for the second time.

In 1987, the title was deactivated and replaced by the current IWGP Heavyweight Championship, that was awarded to the winner of the IWGP League 1987.

Global Lua Modules/Testharness

## Testharness

This meta-module helps to create tests to ensure that a particular module functions properly.

## Description

This module facilitates the use of Module:UnitTests. Rather than entering all that information for every single module, all one needs to do is something like:

## Syntax

Create a module with code similar to this:

```
-- Unit tests. Click talk page to run tests.
local p ={
    hello={--<==function being tested
        options= {nowiki=false}, --<== options
        tests = {
            preprocess\_equals\_many ={ --<== Test name
                -- Parameters - Expected result
                {'Hello World!'    , 'Hello World!'},
                {'1=Hello|2=World' , 'Hello'},
            },
        },
    },
}
return p

```

Explanation:

* **hello** = the name of the function that will be run
* **options** = these are options that can be used when running the tests
	+ nowiki = when this is true, the result will be wikitext, otherwise (if false) it will render the content of the page, e.g. [[Help:Lua]] -> Help:Lua.
* **tests** = this is a table that contains tests that will be run, the names of the tests are based on Module:UnitTests, see Wikipedia:Module:UnitTests for more information.
	+ Each test must contain a table. This table contains one key with the parameters and one with the results, and follows the same formatting in the table Global\_Lua\_Modules/Testharness#Tests that it runs.

In the example above the testharness will run the test "preprocess\_equals\_many" which will create the following (e.g. if it is run using Module:SharedTest):

 {{#invoke:SharedTest|hello|1=Hello|2=World}}

It then lets Module:UnitTests run the tests and present the results when the wikitext below is added to a page.

Run the tests using:

```
{{#invoke:testharness|run_tests|modulename=<module>|testdata=<module with tests>}}

```

The module expects the tests to be stored in a subpage for testcases (e.g. Module:Bananas/testcases). It also expects the talkpage to be used to run the tests (and contain the invoke above), e.g.(Module\_Talk:Bananas/testcases). This can be overwritten by using the parameters below:

 testdata

## Example

```
{{#invoke:testharness|run_tests|modulename=Links|testdata=Links/testcases}}

```

## Tests that it runs

All tests available in Module:UnitTests shown in the table below:

\_equals

Global Lua Modules/Yesno

## Yesno

This module "provides a consistent interface for processing boolean or boolean-style string input".

## Description

This provides an easy way to pass template parameters to lua and validate whether they are a boolean true or false.

"While Lua allows the true and false boolean values, wikicode templates can only express boolean values through strings such as "yes", "no", etc. This module processes these kinds of strings and turns them into boolean input for Lua to process".

Hiroshi Wajima

###

Nanao, Ishikawa, Japan

**Hiroshi Wajima** (輪島大士) (born January 11, 1948) is a former sumo wrestler and professional wrestler from Nanao, Ishikawa, Japan. He was sumo's 54th *yokozuna.* He won a total of 14 tournament championships or *yūshō* during his career and retired in March 1981.
He was later head coach of Hanakago stable, but was forced to leave the sumo world and turned to professional wrestling.

## Professional wrestling career

To pay off his debts, Wajima turned to pro wrestling. Shohei Baba, owner of All Japan Pro Wrestling, convinced him to join his promotion and train at their dojo. He debuted in 1986. Because of his status as a former Yokozuna (the first since Kinichi Azumafuji to turn to pro wrestling), Wajima was pushed as a superstar, feuding with Stan Hansen over the PWF Heavyweight Championship. In the long run, however, accumulated injuries from his sumo years limited his potential as a professional wrestler, and he ended up retiring from the game altogether in December 1988; his last recorded match was held December 16, as he and The Great Kabuki defeated Jerry Blackwell and Phil Hickerson.

IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship

The **IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship** (IWGPジュニアヘビー級王座, *IWGP Junia Hebī-kyū Ōza*) is the top singles junior heavyweight championship in the New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) promotion. "IWGP" is the acronym of NJPW's governing body, the International Wrestling Grand Prix.

NJPW currently controls two junior heavyweight championships: the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship and the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. The weight-limit for the tag team title is 100 kg (220 lb); it is assumed that this title has the same weight-limit.

## Overview

The title was introduced on February 6, 1986, at a NJPW show. Only wrestlers under the junior heavyweight weight-limit may hold the championship. From August 5, 1996, until November 5, 1997, the title was part of the J-Crown, or J-Crown Octuple Unified Championship. The J-Crown was an assembly of eight different championships from several different promotions. It was created on August 5, 1996, when The Great Sasuke won an eight-man tournament. The IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship, the British Commonwealth Junior Heavyweight Championship, the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship, the NWA World Welterweight Championship, the UWA World Junior Light Heavyweight Championship, the WAR International Junior Heavyweight Championship, the WWA World Junior Light Heavyweight Championship, and the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship were the eight championships that were involved. On November 5, 1997, then-champion Shinjiro Otani vacated all J-Crown belts but the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship after the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) retook control of its Light Heavyweight title, effectively ending the J-Crown. On July 7, 2018, at G1 Special in San Francisco, Hiromu Takahashi suffered a neck injury against Dragon Lee during his match with Dragon Lee. This led to NJPW Chairman Naoki Sugabayashi announcing a four-man tournament final to crown a new champion. On October 8 at King of Pro-Wrestling, KUSHIDA defeated Marty Scurll to become the new champion.

Suginami, Tokyo, Japan

**Koji Iihashi** (飯橋 浩司, *Iihashi Kōji*, born January, 24 1961 in Suginami, Tokyo, Japan), better known by the ring name, **Ishinriki** (維新力, *Ishinriki*) (Japanese for "Renewal Power") is a Japanese professional wrestler and a former sumo wrestler, currently working for Dragon Gate (DG).

After his retirement of sumo in 1990 he became a professional wrestler for a number of organizations including Super World of Sports, WAR, Pro Wrestling Crusaders and IWA Japan.

## Early Life

Despite his family having a background in professional wrestling he took part in many regional sumo competitions in elementary and junior high school. He entered professional sumo in March 1976, joining Onaruto stable. He was recruited by the former Sekiwake Kōtetsuyama. He initially fought under the shikona of Wakakotetsu, based on his stablemaster's, but in 1984 he became Ishinriki ("renewal power"), the name which he was also to use in pro-wrestling.

## Professional wrestling career

With 20 consecutive tournaments as a *sekitori* Ishinriki met the minimum requirement of inheriting an elder name in the Japan Sumo Association, and his stablemaster was prepared to let him inherit Onaruto stable, but Ishiniriki decided against it, believing he could make more money in professional wrestling. Although his elder brother was active in All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW), Ishinriki instead joined Super World of Sports (SWS), making his debut in January 1991 in a match against Jeff Jarrett in Dallas, Texas. After SWS folded he was a member of its successors NOW and WAR, but then retired due to kidney problems. He returned to wrestling in 2006, participating in IWA Japan and freelance promotions.

In August 2015, he said he would likely retire from wrestling the following year, which would mark the 40th anniversary of his sumo career.However, in August 2016 he was promoting a mixed tag team match also involving Funaki to be held on 6 November at the Shinjuku Face.

## Personal Life

He married former Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling and LLPW wrestler Utako Hozumi, whom he met during his WAR days. Their sons Riki and Ishin are also professional wrestlers who made their debuts for Dragon Gate on September 20, 2021. Riki, however, retired on June 6, 2022.

He and Hozumi opened a chankonabe and karaoke restaurant in Kichijōji in 1994. He frequently appeared as a guest on talk shows to discuss sumo. He appeared on the TV Asahi program "Live TV until the morning" (*朝まで生テレビ!*) to discuss the Tokitsukaze stable hazing scandal in 2007, and in 2011 when many top wrestlers were dismissed in a match-fixing scandal he denied that sumo had a problem with gambling and yazuka ties, despite his stablemaster Onaruto making similar claims in a book published shortly after his death in 1996.
