[1] After graduating from high school he entered the law department of Chuo University and was the captain of the sumo club by his fourth year.

He finished in the top 8 at the National Student Sumo Championships, and in 2016 won the Amateur Yokozuna title, the first from Chuo University to achieve this since Mutetsuyama [ja] in 1990.

In his next tournament he won the makushita divisional championship or yūshō with a perfect 7–0 record, which guaranteed him promotion to the second highest jūryō division and elite sekitori status.

Two losing records of seven wins against eight losses saw him drop back down to makushita in January 2018, but he made an immediate return to jūryō with a 5–2 score.

He scored nine wins against six losses in his top division debut, which saw him promoted to his highest rank to date of maegashira 10 for the March 2019 tournament.

He managed an 8–7 record in September, but then three straight scores of only four wins against eleven losses saw him demoted to the makushita division for the (cancelled) Natsu tournament in May 2020.
