Asahidake Tsurunosuke (朝日嶽 鶴之助, 1840 – April 4, 1882) was a Japanese professional sumo wrestler from Tsuruoka, Yamagata Prefecture.
[2] While in Edo, he was scouted by the stablemaster of Tatsutagawa stable and decided to join the Edo-based sumo association to train as a wrestler.
He began wrestling actively in October 1860 under the shikona, or ring name, Yuranoumi (由良ノ海) and under the patronage of the Shōnai Domain.
Just after his promotion to makuuchi, he succeeded his master at the head of his stable and became an elder under the name Tatsutagawa, although he continued to fight under the two-licence system.
During the events of the Boshin War in 1868, Asahidake briefly left his stable to fight alongside the Sakai clan in the Battle of Toba-Fushimi, during which he served as a banner-bearer for his patrons.
