Tamanishiki San'emon (玉錦 三右衛門, December 15, 1903 - December 4 1938) was a sumo wrestler from Kōchi, Japan. He was the sport's 32nd Yokozuna. He won a total of nine championships.

Career

He joined Nishonoseki stable but the stable was very small at that time. Therefore, he often visited Dewanoumi stable and was trained by "yokozuna" Tochigiyama Moriya. He later became head coach of Nishonoseki stable whilst still active in the ring, and under his leadership the stable enjoyed one of its most successful periods in its history.

Tamanishiki won 3 consecutive championships from October 1930 to March 1931, but he wasn't promoted to "yokozuna". In January 1932, the "Shunjuen-Incident" (春秋園事件, "Shunjuen-Jiken") broke out.

He was one of 11 top division wrestlers who remained in Ozumo [cite web | author= | title=Banzuke| publisher=Sumo Fan Magazine | language= English |url=http://www.sumofanmag.com/content/Issue_2/Rikishi_of_Old-Banzuke.htm| date=| accessdate=2007-10-11] and became the first head of "Rikishikai" (力士会), or the association of active sumo wrestlers. He won his fifth top division championship in May 1932 and was finally awarded a "yokozuna" licence in November 1932. He was the first "yokozuna" in sumo since the retirement of Miyagiyama a year and a half earlier. His promotion was seen as a reward for staying with the Sumo Association and helping them through the Shunjuen incident.

Tamanishiki often went to Tatsunami stable and trained wrestlers, such as later "yokozuna" Futabayama Sadaji. Tatsunami stable was small at that time, but the stable became stronger in the sumo world later. Tamanishiki defeated Futabayama the first six times they met in competition, but he was never able to beat him again after Futabayama began his record winning run in 1936.

Tamanishiki was the first "yokozuna" to raise one leg high while performing "Yokozuna Dohyo-iri" (the yokozuna ring entering ceremony). His style was said to be beautiful and Futabayama succeeded to his style. His style is very popular now in "yokozuna" ceremonies.

In 1938, Tamanishiki died while an active sumo wrestler, following a delayed appendectomy.Cite book |author=Sharnoff, Lorna |title=Grand Sumo|publisher=Weatherhill |year=1993 |id=ISBN 0-8348-0283-x]
