Kitabayama Hidetoshi: Difference between revisions

Kitabayama retired from active competition in May 1966, following two [[make-koshi|losing scores]] in his last two tournaments (a third would have seen him demoted from the ''ōzeki'' rank). He remained in the sumo world as an elder under the ''[[toshiyori]]'' name Edagawa and worked as a coach at Tokitsukaze stable. He was also on the board of Directors of the [[Japan Sumo Association]] and worked as a '' [[shimpan]]'' orjudge (sumo)|judge]] of tournament bouts. He left the Sumo Association in 2000 upon reaching the mandatory retirement age of sixty-five. He died in 2010 from cancer of the liver.
