1783 -December 3 ,1828 ) was asumo wrestler from Goshogawara,Aomori Prefecture ,Japan .Career
He was born in Aomori and went to Edo in 1806, joinning
Isenoumi stable . He was given the name "Kashiwado" and worked underHirosaki Domain . His highest rank wasOzeki . He won 16 tournaments in the top "makuuchi " division, but his top division win ratio wasn't so high with .810, compared withTanikaze (.949) andOnogawa (.917).In June 1823, the "Gojo" family granted "yokozuna" licences to Kashiwado and his rival Tamagaki, but he rejected this. The reason has been said to be that he was afraid that this would cause conflict with the "Yoshida" family. Tamagaki also rejected the licence. In 1824, Tamagaki suddenly died, and his death shocked Kashiwado. In January 1825, he lost three consecutive bouts and retired.
Kahiwado wasn't promoted to "yokozuna", but because 20th Yoshida Oikaze heard of his case, he made new yokozuna
