Born in Itayanagi, Kitatsugaru District, Hayateumi was an amateur sumo champion at Nihon University where he held the "College Yokozuna" title.
Persistent injuries meant Hayateumi never realised his true potential, forcing him back down to the lower divisions.
He is now a Liberal Democratic Party politician, and was elected to the Aomori Prefectural Assembly representing Kitatsugaru District in a by-election in September 2014, winning re-election in 2015 and 2019.
Hayateumi was a yotsu-sumo wrestler, who preferred fighting on the mawashi to pushing his opponents, and his most common winning kimarite was yori-kiri, a simple force out.
