Dewanohana Kuniichi (Japanese: 出羽ノ花國市, March 1, 1909 – May 30, 1987) real name Kuniichi Ichikawa (國一市川), was a Japanese professional sumo wrestler from Komatsu, Ishikawa (Japan). His highest rank was maegashira 1.[1]
After retiring from active competition in 1940, he took on a position as coach at Dewanoumi stable, later ascending to head coach from 1960 to 1968 following the death of Tsunenohana. He then was elected chairman (rijichō) of the Japan Sumo Association under the name of Musashigawa from 1968 to 1974.[2] Unlike most of his contemporaries, he had a business education background.
