Japanese sumo wrestler
 was a Japanese sumo wrestler from Waga District, Mutsu Province (now Kitakami, Iwate Prefecture). His highest rank was "ōzeki". He was the second wrestler from Iwate prefecture to reach this rank and the only titleholder before Miyagiyama's promotion in 1917, 93 years later.
Career.
Yotsugamine comes from a family with close ties to sumo, being the nephew and later son-in-law of "ōzeki" Nishikigi Tsukaemon (later known as Nishonoseki Gun'emon). He made his debut in November 1812 and joined the stable run by his uncle. In March 1819, he reached the "makuuchi" division, winning the equivalent of a first championship victory in 1821. In October 1822, he made his "san'yaku" debut at the rank of "komusubi". He held this position for four tournaments, winning a second championship in 1823. Following a good tournament in 1824, he was promoted directly to "ōzeki". In May 1825, he participated in a tournament for the Osaka-based sumo association in Namba. He was ranked as an "ōzeki" along with Ōnomatsu (then called Koyanagi). He held the rank of "ōzeki" for four years before retiring in 1828.
After his active retirement, he separated from his former master and opened his own stable under his old ring name. As a coach he raised "ōzeki" Akitsukaze.
Top division record.
"*Championships for the best record in a tournament were not recognized or awarded before the 1909 summer tournament and the above championships that are labelled "unofficial" are historically conferred. For more information see yūshō."
