[edit] Career

Born in Setana, he reached the top makuuchi division in May 1970 after winning the juryo division championship with a 14-1 record. He was awarded the Technique Prize in his first top division tournament. He earned promotion to ozeki in 1973 after three consecutive double figure scores. He was a runner-up in the May 1973 tournament and had a clean sweep of all three special prizes in July. However, he held the ozeki rank for only five tournaments before being demoted. He finished his career back in the juryo division, the only former ozeki ever to compete a such a low rank.

[edit] Retirement from sumo

After retiring in May 1977 he became an elder of the Japan Sumo Association under the name Tateyama. In May 1997 he became head coach of the Asahiyama stable and adopted the name Asahiyama.
