When promoted in jūryō in 1823, he inherited the shikona, or ring name, of former ōzeki Hiodoshi I, a master in his stable, who was renowned for his longevity because he wrestled in makuuchi for 21 years.

In 1828 he won back-to-back championships, also reaching the san'yaku ranks for the first time with a direct promotion to sekiwake in that year's final tournament.

Hiodoshi wrestled two more tournaments at the rank of sekiwake, achieving a majority win each time, but he died while still an active wrestler in August 1836.

[2] Although Hiodoshi was inferior to both of them in terms of ability and was never promoted to yokozuna, he had a childlike face and was very popular with the public.
