1956 September Basho, 14th day
Kagamisato vs. Tochinishiki
(heading for the title)
At the tachi-ai or initial charge, Kagamisato got a left
hand outside grip and immediately pulled Tochinishiki into a chest-to-chest
position.
Tochinishiki worked his way into a double inside grip but Kagamisato
was able to pull in his much smaller opponent from his own double
outside grip and, using his beer barrel belly to great effect, was
able to drive his opponent back and out by yorikiri or frontal
force out. That victory gave Kagamisato the momentum he needed to
take his fourth top division title.

1956 September Basho, final day
Kagamisato vs. Yoshibayama
At the tachi-ai or initial charge, Kagamisato got his favorite
right hand inside grip but Yoshibayama came up pushing with his
left. Kagamisato responded by using a left handed uwatenage
or overarm throw to break his fellow yokozuna's balance and
then, pushing down on Yoshibayama's head, take him by hatakikomi
or slap down. That victory gave Kagamisato his fourth top division
title with an outstanding 14-1 record. |
