Kitanofuji Katsuaki (Japanese: 北の富士 勝昭, March 28, 1942 – November 12, 2024, born Takezawa Katsuaki (竹澤 勝昭)) was a Japanese professional sumo wrestler from Asahikawa, Hokkaidō. He made his professional debut in 1957, reaching the top makuuchi division in 1964. He was the sport's 52nd yokozuna, a rank he attained in 1970. He won ten tournament championships and was known for his rivalry with Tamanoumi. He retired in 1974 and was the head coach of Kokonoe stable from 1977 to 1992. He left the Japan Sumo Association in 1998, but was still prominent in the sumo world as a commentator in his later years.
