O'Doul der Vater des modernen Baseball in Japan ist, da er
unermüdlich durch das Land reiste und "Sprechstunden" abhielt, um
den Sport populärer zu machen. Ohne ihn gäbe es keinen Ichiro
oder Hideki Matsui, die heute für die USA Baseball spielen.
Maedayama wollte vielleicht das gleiche für das Ozumo tun, als er
Oyakata wurde.
Rückblickend können wir vermutlich sagen, dass wir ohne
Maedayama keinen Akebono hätten, den ersten ausländischen
Yokozuna, oder keinen Asashoryu, einen der erfolgreichsten Yokozuna
aller Zeiten. Maedayama hatte keine beeindruckenden Ergebnisse als
Yokozuna, aber sein Vermächtnis leuchtet in hellen Farben. Im
Hatsu Basho 2007 wird es 17 ausländische Sekitori auf der Banzuke
geben.
Toshiyori Takasago Uragoro/Yokozuna Maedayama Eigoro starb am 17.
August 1971 an einer Leberzirrhose. Er wurde 57 Jahre alt. Etwa ein
Jahr später holte im Juli-Basho 1972 Takamiyama, der Rekrut, den
er aus Hawaii mitgebracht hatte, sein erstes Makuuchi-yusho. Maedayamas
Namensvetter, Dr. Maeda Wasaburo, starb 1979 am gleichen Tag, dem 17.
August. Sogar im Tod war noch ein Band zwischen den beiden.
