Chiyonokuni Toshiki (Japanese: 千代の国 憲輝, born 10 July 1990 as Toshiki Sawada (澤田 憲輝, Sawada Toshiki)) is a Japanese former professional sumo wrestler from Iga, Mie. Making his professional debut in May 2006, he reached the top makuuchi division for the first time in January 2012. He has a highest rank of maegashira 1, but he has also been restricted by injuries, falling to the sandanme division in 2015 before staging a comeback, and then once again having serious injury in 2019 sending him down the ranks. He made a final comeback which saw him stagnate in the second half of the jūryō division before his demotion and retirement. He is a member of Kokonoe stable where he is an elder under the name Sanoyama.
