Ōkido Moriemon (大木戸 森右衛門, November 2, 1878 – November 7, 1930) was a sumo wrestler. He was the sport's 23rd Yokozuna. He was second yokozuna to be recognised from Osaka sumo, and the only yokozuna who spent his whole active career in Osaka.

Career

Okido made a debut in Osaka sumo in September 1899. Between January 1908 and May 1909, he recorded 28 consecutive wins without any draw or hold. The Osaka Sumo Association attempted to promote him to yokozuna, but they hated Tokyo sumo's Hitachiyama, who had friendship with Okido.

In January 1910, he was promoted to yokozuna by the Osaka Sumo Association, without agreements of Tokyo sumo and the house of Yoshida Tsukasa. The house of Yoshida Tsukasa became very angry and the Osaka Sumo Association apologized to the house. He was awarded a yokozuna licence officially in December 1912.

However, he suffered from cerebral hemorrhage and retired from an active sumo wrestler in January 1914.

Record in Osaka sumo

*Championships from Osaka sumo were unofficial
*There was no fusensho system until March 1927
*All top division wrestlers were usually absent on the 10th day until January 1910 and on the first day between May 1910 and January 1913 in Osaka.
