He was originally a judo practitioner, but was strongly encouraged by his father and sponsors from his hometown of Asahikawa to join sumo which he initially rejected.

In July 2014 he made the sekitori ranks for the first time when he was promoted to the jūryō division, but he was demoted back to makushita after only two tournaments.

[5] He withdrew on Day 5 of the September tournament with an Achilles' tendon injury, resulting in demotion back to the second division.

[10] Impeded by his left knee injury, Kyokutaisei retired in December 2024, without staying with the association as an elder.

[13] Kyokutaisei was unusual in that he preferred a maemitsu grip on his opponent's mawashi or belt – grabbing the front part directly below the stomach area.

[14] His most common winning techniques were oshidashi (frontal push out) and hatakikomi (slap down), which were responsible for over 60% of his victories.
