Thanks Chanko Thief - this is a great thread to get into for my first post on the forum. I first got into sumo watching from the UK in the 80s, so Chiyonofuji looms large and is my favourite of those I have watched. However, as a full-living Yokozuna both in and away from the dohyo, it is the sainted Hitachiyama. And it is somewhat appropriate to the OP that my nominee is the man who popularised Chankonabe.
