Onishiki was a big, strong guy who really showed tremendous promise on his initial climb. Have a vague memory (getting to be a common thing lately) that he suffered a serious injury early in his Komisubi basho, but struggled to complete it. This was followed by one or two basho in which he was still obviously not up to full speed. He made several comebacks, but could never sustain the drive. It was a little painful to watch hs struggle.
