About Toyonishiki Kiichiro
- Toyonishiki Kiichiro (born Harley Ozaki, 3 February 1920 – 26 September 1998) was a Japanese-American sumo wrestler from Pierce, Colorado who was one of the first foreign-born wrestlers to reach the top makuuchi division.
- He made his professional debut in January 1938 and reached makuuchi in May 1944, nearly 25 years before the more well known Hawaiian born Takamiyama Daigoro.
- However, he fought in only one tournament in the top division before being drafted into the Imperial Japanese Army against his wishes, and he never returned to sumo.
- He remained in Japan after the war, and ran an inn later in life.
