Kurohimeyama Hideo (born 12 November 1948 as Hideo Tanaka) is a former sumo wrestler from Ōmi, Niigata, Japan. He made his professional debut in March 1964, and first reached the top division in July 1969. After he was re-promoted to the top division in November 1969 he fought there for 71 consecutive tournaments and 1065 matches, never missing a single bout. His highest rank was sekiwake. He retired in January 1982 and became an elder in the Japan Sumo Association. He worked as a coach at Tatsunami stable, and his two sons were both wrestlers there under the shikona of Haguronada and Hagurokuni. He borrowed the Nishikijima, Yamahibiki, Dekiyama and Kitajin elder names before permanently acquiring the Takekuma name in 1988 upon the mandatory retirement of ex-sekiwake Kitanonada. Following the retirement of Tatsunami's stablemaster in 1999 he branched out to open up his own Takekuma stable, although it folded after only five years in 2004 after his only remaining wrestler (Hagurokuni) retired, and he moved to Tomozuna stable. He reached the Sumo Association's mandatory retirement age of 65 in November 2013.[1]
