Daimanazuru Kenji (born January 16, 1977 as Kenji Omae) is a sumo wrestler from Kawakami, Yoshino District, Nara, Japan. His highest rank has been maegashira 16. His single tournament in the top makuuchi division in July 2006 saw him win only two bouts. It had taken him 85 tournaments to reach makuuchi from his professional debut in May 1992, the seventh slowest ever. In September 2007 he suffered an eye injury and had to withdraw on the 4th day, resulting in demotion to the unsalaried makushita division.
