His highest rank to date has been maegashira 4, which he achieved in July 2013 after he put together five straight kachi-koshi or winning records in the top division.

He rose gradually to the ranks of makushita and was working his way up, but would start to suffer from pain due to a neck injury and would eventually drop back down to the fourth tier sandanme division.

In these circumstances, a relatively average record of 9–6 at jūryō #8 would allow him promotion to the makuuchi division in July of that year.

He reached the top rank of the makushita division, #1 East, in May 2019 but just failed to get the majority of wins that would have returned him to jūryō, scoring 3–4.

He maintained his position in jūryō for the September 2020 tournament, but was prevented from entering it due to a COVID-19 outbreak at his stable.
