Musashiyama Takeshi (Japanese: 武藏山 武, December 5, 1909 – March 15, 1969) was a Japanese professional sumo wrestler from Kōhoku,Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. He was the sport's 33rd yokozuna. He had a rapid rise through the ranks, setting several youth records, and was very popular with the public. However he did not fulfill his great potential at sumo's highest rank, missing many matches because of injury and winning no tournaments.
