Yōtsukasa Dai (born 23 September 1973 as Daishi Suzuki) is a former sumo wrestler from Matsusaka, Mie, Japan. He made his professional debut in January 1996, and reached the top division in May 1999. His highest rank was maegashira 11. He retired in November 2005. He became an elder of the Japan Sumo Association and worked as a coach at Irumagawa stable, but was unable to acquire permanent elder stock and so had to borrow elder names owned by active wrestlers or stable-masters. He was variously known as Hatachiyama (owned by Tochinohana), Wakafuji (Otsukasa), Sekinoto (Iwakiyama), Onogawa (Kitanoumi), Sendagawa, (Maenoyama) and Takenawa (Tochinonada). He was finally forced to leave the Sumo Association in January 2012 when Tochinonada retired and no other elder names were available.
