After an amateur sumo career at the Kyushu Institute of Information Sciences, he turned professional in November 2008, reaching sekitori status in January 2013 upon promotion to the jūryō division.

He was ranked in the top makuuchi division on nine occasions without earning a winning record before finally achieving it on his tenth attempt in January 2023.

Azumaryū came to Japan at the age of 15, and attended Meitoku Gijuku High School, known for its strong sumo club.

In his second makuuchi tournament in March 2014 he was ranked at maegashira 14 and stood at five wins and four losses after nine days, but finished with another 6–9 record.

In September 2015 he took part in an eight-way play-off for the makushita championship, and although he was defeated by Chiyoshōma in the semi-final stage his 6–1 record was good enough for a return to jūryō.

He injured his left knee in his opening bout of the November 2023 tournament against Hakuyōzan, forcing his withdrawal from competition.

A formal wedding ceremony was held in Tokyo on 19 February 2023, one month after Azumaryū secured his first winning record in the top division.
