1975 Kyushu Basho, 15th and final day
Mienoumi vs. Asahikuni
(Mienoumi's first top division title)
Fellow sekiwake Asahikuni quickly got a left hand inside
grip, keeping his hips back in an attempt to keep Mienoumi off his
mawashi. Mienoumi was finally able to get a right hand outside
grip and after a long struggle, was able to drive his opponent to
the edge. Asahikuni dug in but was unable to stop his larger opponent
from forcing him down and out by yoritaoshi (frontal crush
out). Mienoumi finished the tournament with a fine 13-2 record,
winning his first of three top division titles. That record also
earned him both the Outstanding Performance Award and the Technique
Prize, while guaranteeing his promotion to ozeki for the
following Hatsu Basho.

1980 Hatsu Basho, 15th and final day
Mienoumi vs. Wakanohana
(Mienoumi's last top division title)
Mienoumi, keeping his head low, was able to get a right hand outside
grip while slipping his left hand inside. His fellow yokozuna
was able to work his own left hand in but Mienoumi's attack had
forced him upright. He broke Wakanohana's balance with a right handed
uwate-dashinage (pulling overarm throw) and then drove him
out by yorikiri (frontal force out). This gave the Dewanoumi
beya his first and only back-to-back top division titles
and he took this one in grand style; winning it with a perfect 15-0
record.
