Yoshiazuma Hiroshi (Japanese: 芳東 洋; born 26 May 1977 as Hiroshi Ishihara (石原 洋, Ishihara Hiroshi)) is a Japanese professional sumo wrestler from Kashima, Kumamoto. He made his professional debut in January 1996 and reached the top division in September 2011. His highest rank has been maegashira 12. The fifteen years it took him to reach the top division is the third-slowest progress ever, in the history of professional sumo wrestling.
