He is shorter and weighs significantly less than the vast majority of sumo wrestlers in the upper ranks, but has learned to use his small stature and size for maximum advantage, becoming known for toppling larger opponents.

In the playoff, he beat former makuuchi wrestler Masunoyama who was in his first full tournament back in sumo, after a series of injury leaves.

For the following September tournament, Enhō was promoted to the sandanme division and once again took a perfect 7–0, this time winning a playoff versus Matsuda.

As is often the case for a first timer in the salaried ranks, the wall was too high and he only managed a losing tournament record of 4–11 and was demoted back to makushita.

Enhō's haunches came within 10 centimetres of the dohyō, before he bounced back, grabbing his opponent's legs with both hands and toppling him.

[1] He won his first top division bout on the opening day, and earned his first kenshōkin or cash prize provided by a sponsor of the match.

It was during this period, however, that Enhō contracted a neck injury, causing him a great deal of pain and affecting his performance.

[14] He said he was hoping to return to makuuchi in a single tournament, but after his stablemate Hakuhō tested positive for COVID-19, the whole of the Miyagino stable was forced to miss the January basho.

"[16] He returned to competition in March 2021, and on Day 8 faced Ura, another popular wrestler known for his unusual techniques, for the first time since they competed in school.

In July he suffered a suspected concussion in his Day 2 match with Takagenji and was prevented by the judges from taking part in the rematch.

[19] After falling to a 6–9 record at Jūryō 10 in the January 2022 tournament, Enhō told reporters that he felt a sense of crisis and would have to restart his training from scratch.

In January, he continued to compete despite an orbital blowout fracture, forcing him to appear at Hakuhō's retirement ceremony with a blindfold.

[21] He later attributed his willingness to compete despite injury to his desire to protect his sekitori status despite the risk of worsening his physical condition.

[10] Enhō pulled out of the May 2023 tournament from Day 10 as he was diagnosed, after a checkup at a Tokyo hospital on 23 May, with a herniated disc in his neck, which will require approximately three months of treatment.

[29] In June 2024 he made an appearance at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan, performing the yumitori-shiki (bow-twirling ceremony) for the retirement of Ishiura.

During this match, he had a notable clash with another featherweight, Yamato from Dewanoumi stable, a rare type of confrontation in sumo.

He is known for coming in very low at the tachi-ai or initial charge and attempting to grab his opponent's mawashi with an inside left hand grip (hidari-yotsu).

In addition, more than a third of his wins come from either leg grabs or pulling underarm throw (shitatedashinage), when the average for a typical wrestler is just two percent.

[33] However his lack of weight means he can also easily be thrown, shoved or picked up and placed out of the ring, making his matches unpredictable and popular with audiences.
