Daigaku Munemasa (Japanese: 大岳 宗正; born 14 April 1965 as Hideki Yokoe (横江 英樹, Yokoe Hideki)) is a former sumo wrestler from Kusatsu, Shiga, Japan. He made his professional debut in March 1983. In January 1987, nearly four years later, he took part in a nine-way playoff for the third-division championship, winning the initial bout but then losing twice to his remaining rivals. Another almost five years later, now ranked in the second division, he then won his only championship in November 1989, winning in a four-way playoff. Nevertheless, he never reached the top division. His highest rank was jūryō 2. He left the sumo world upon retirement from active competition in September 1993.
