Kirishima Kazuhiro (霧島 一博, born April 3, 1959) is a former sumo wrestler from Makizono, Kagoshima, Japan, who held the second highest rank of ōzeki from 1990 to 1992 and won one top division tournament championship, and was runner up in seven others.

He reached the top makuuchi division for the first time in July 1984, and won a sanshō (or special prize for Fighting Spirit) in his very first tournament.

"[1] Persistently struggling to gain weight, he enlisted the help of his girlfriend and future wife Naoko in the quest to bulk up and avoid frequent defeats by simple push-out.

In addition to his usual practice matches at Izutsu stable he did regular weight training at a private gymnasium and supplemented his normal sumo diet with a specially prepared high calorie/high protein drink.

Kirishima finished 1991 with 62 wins, which was more than any other top division wrestler in the calendar year, although it was the lowest number ever needed to achieve that feat.

However, in September of that year he could only manage a 7–8 score after being restricted by an elbow injury, and he had to pull out of the November tournament on Day 8 with only one win after he ruptured ankle ligaments in a bout against Mitoizumi.

Rather unusually for a former ōzeki, he did not own toshiyori (elder) stock in the Sumo Association and so would have had to borrow a share from an active wrestler or use his own fighting name for a three year grace period if he had retired at that point.

[3] In May 1994 he fought fellow ex-ōzeki Konishiki, the first time in 35 years that two former ōzeki had met in the maegashira ranks (Ōuchiyama vs Mitsuneyama in 1959 was the previous occasion).

In March 1996 he produced a poor 3–12 record, and facing certain demotion to jūryō, he announced his retirement after 21 years in the sport, just short of his 37th birthday.

In February 2010 he was elected to the Sumo Association's board of Directors, but was forced to step down from his post in April 2011 when four of his wrestlers (Jūmonji, Toyozakura, Hakuba and Kirinowaka) were ordered to retire after being found guilty of match-fixing.

[10] In anticipation of his 65th birthday in April 2024, Kirishima announced that his stable would close after the March 2024 tournament, with its wrestlers to be distributed within the Tokitsukaze ichimon.

His trademark, however, was tsuri-dashi (lift out), a technique requiring tremendous strength and seldom seen today due to the increasing weight of wrestlers and the risk of back injury.
