Known for his lean, muscular physique, handsome face and hard-thrusting sumo, Terao, whose real name was Yoshifumi Fukuzono, was a fan favorite along with former yokozuna brothers Takanohana and Wakanohana in the 1980s and 1990s, before retiring in 2002 at 39.
He established the Shikoroyama stable in 2004 and served as its master, counting former sekiwake Abi, the 2022 Kyushu tournament winner, among his proteges.
The Kagoshima Prefecture native made his debut in 1979 and earned "ironman" status after racking up 93 top-tier makuuchi tournament appearances, the sixth-most in the ancient sport's history. His 1,795 career appearances are fourth and 860 wins are 10th on the all-time list.
Terao, whose father was former sekiwake Tsurugamine and stablemaster Izutsu, was the youngest of three sumo wrestling brothers.
The eldest brother, Kakureizan, fought in second-tier juryo, while middle brother Sakahoko also reached the third-highest rank of sekiwake. They died in 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The man was booked into jail and posted bail. He returned to the outside of the Capitol with a loaded AK-47 around 9 p.m., three hours after the Statehouse closed, according to the state police.

Hundreds more flights cancelled in fallout from #UK air #traffic #control #failure
“Our systems, both primary and the backups, responded by suspending automatic processing to ensure that no incorrect safety-related information could be presented to an air traffic controller or impact the rest of the air traffic #system. There are no indications that this was a cyber-attack.”
