Tsunenohana Kan'ichi (常ノ花 寛市, November 23, 1896 - November 28 1960) was a sumo wrestler from Okayama, Japan. He was the sport's 31st Yokozuna.

Career

He made his professional debut in January 1910 and reached the top "makuuchi" division in May 1917. He won his first top division championship in May 1921 from the rank of "ozeki," with a perfect record of ten wins and no losses. After his second championship in May 1923 and a runner-up spot in January 1924, he was promoted to "yokozuna". He was to win eight more championships during his "yokozuna" career, including three in a row in 1927. He was much stronger than his competition and had no serious rivals. As result, turnout at tournaments was quite poor.cite book|author=Newton, Clyde|title=Dynamic Sumo|publisher=Kodansha|year=1994|pages=124|id=ISBN 4-7700-1802-9] His last title came in March 1930. He fought his last bouts in May of that year and officially retired in October. His retirement came very suddenly, as he was at the height of his powers, and it left Miyagiyama as the only "yokozuna".

Retirement

After retiring from active competition he was the seventh head of the Dewanoumi stable and from 1944 to 1957 was also the head of the Sumo Association. However, he was blamed for Sumo Association's problems and attempted to commit suicide by a sword and gas in May 1957. He was fortunately rescued but he retired from the head of the Sumo Association.
