[edit] Career

He was born in Aomori and went to Edo in 1806, joinning Isenoumi stable. He was given the name "Kashiwado" and worked under Hirosaki Domain. His highest rank was Ozeki and he won 16 tournaments in the top makuuchi division.

In June 1823, the Gojo family granted yokozuna licences to Kashiwado and his rival Tamagaki, but he rejected this. The reason has been said to be that he was afraid that this would cause conflict with the Yoshida family. Tamagaki also rejected the licence. In 1824, Tamagaki suddenly died, and his death shocked Kashiwado. In January 1825, he lost three consecutive bouts and retired.

Kahiwado wasn't promoted to yokozuna, but because 20th Yoshida Oikaze heard of his case, he made new yokozuna Ōnomatsu Midorinosuke.[1]
