Miyagino Nishikinosuke (宮城野 錦之助, 1744 - July 18, 1798) was a Japanese sumo wrestler. His highest rank was sekiwake. He was an active top makuuchi division wrestler at the age of 52, which is the all-time recognized record.

Career

His shikona was named after Miyagino because he worked under the Sendai Domain. He made his debut in October 1766. He was promoted to the top makuuchi division in March 1781. He was demoted to Juryo in November 1794, but returned to makuuchi in March 1796 at the age of 52. After the tournament, he retired.

After retiring, he became a toshiyori, but died only two years after that. Modern Miyagino stable was named after him and he is regarded as the first Miyagino oyakata.
