'''Haguroyama Sojō''', born as '''Osamu Annen''' (23 February 1934 — 8 February 2021) was a Japanese sumo wrestler from Hokkaidō.

==Sumo career== As an active wrestler he was first known as '''Annenyama''' and reached a highest rank of ''sekiwake'' upon winning the top ''makuuchi'' division tournament championship in May 1957. Later in his career he was granted the sumo name '''Haguroyama''', in honour of his father-in-law and stable boss, the 36th ''Yokozuna'' Haguroyama Masaji. He was also runner-up in the November 1959 tournament and over the course of his top division career earned ten gold stars for defeating ''yokozuna''. However, he also lost all of 21 bouts against ''yokozuna'' Taihō Kōki.

==Coaching career== After retiring in 1965 he remained in the sumo world as an elder under the name Oitekaze. He became head coach of Tatsunami stable in 1969 upon Haguroyama Masaji's death and adopted the name Tatsunami Oyakata. He inherited a number of strong wrestlers such as future ''ōzeki'' Asahikuni. He coached Kōji Kitao to the top division in 1984, who became the 60th ''Yokozuna'' Futahaguro in 1986. However, after the two had a heated argument in December 1987 Futahaguro struck Tatsunami's wife and stormed out of the stable.<ref name="Sharnoff">{{Cite book |author=Sharnoff, Lora |title=Grand Sumo|publisher=Weatherhill |year=1993 |isbn=0-8348-0283-X}}</ref> Futahaguro was forced to resign by the Japan Sumo Association and Tatsunami filled out the ''yokozuna'''s retirement papers, the first time this had ever been done to a wrestler with elite ''sekitori'' status.<ref name="Sharnoff"/> Tatsunami was punished by a salary cut and told to stay away from all Sumo Association functions for three months.<ref name="Sharnoff"/> He later produced a number of other top division wrestlers such as Daishōhō and Daishōyama.

In February 1999 he reached the mandatory retirement age and passed on control of the stable to former ''komusubi'' Asahiyutaka, who had become his son-in-law and adopted son in April 1995.<ref>[http://www.banzuke.com/03-2/msg00186.html Re: [oyakata video&#93; Tatsunami lost to former Tatsunami at court<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071107100051/http://www.banzuke.com/03-2/msg00186.html |date=7 November 2007 }}</ref> After their relationship soured and Asahiyutaka was divorced, he was ordered by the Tokyo District Court in February 2003 to pay Annen 175 million yen, the sum he would have had to pay for the right to the Tatsunami elder stock had he not been married to Annen's daughter.<ref>{{cite web|author=|title=Sumo head stung for elder rights|url=http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20030225a2.html|publisher=Japan Times|date=2003-02-25|accessdate=2008-05-12}}</ref> This was the first time a price had been revealed for elder stock, as the sums are normally kept secret.
