Tamatsubaki Kentarō (玉椿憲太郎 Tamatsubaki Kentarō 10 November 1883 – 19 September 1928) was a sumo wrestler from Toyama City Japan. He was known for his techniques which accommodated his small size. Although his height was only 158 cm he gave the likes of Hitachiyama and others a real challenge and was called the mite. He was the shortest wrestler in sumo history and also one of the lightest at 73 kg. His highest rank was sekiwake. After retirement he was known as Shiratama-oyakata.
