Tochihikari Masayuki (29 August 1933 - 28 March 1977) was a sumo wrestler from Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan who reached the second highest rank of ōzeki in 1962. He joined Kasugano stable in 1952 and reached the top makuuchi division in 1955. He was a tournament runner-up four times. He fought as an ōzeki for 22 tournaments and retired in 1966. He became an elder of the Japan Sumo Association under the name Chiganoura. His shikona of Tochihikari was subsequently used by a later wrestler from Kasugano stable, also known as Kaneshiro Kofuku.
