Career

Kashiwado was born in Aomori and went to Edo in 1806, joining Isenoumi stable. He was given the name "Kashiwado" and worked under Hirosaki Domain. His highest rank was Ozeki. He won 16 tournaments in the top makuuchi division, but his top division win ratio was not so high at .810, compared with Tanikaze (.949) and Onogawa (.917).

In June 1823, the Gojo family granted yokozuna licences to Kashiwado and his rival Tamagaki, but he rejected his. 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. The following year Tamagaki suddenly died, and his death shocked Kashiwado. In January 1825, Kashiwado lost three consecutive bouts and retired. Kahiwado was not promoted to yokozuna but because 20th Yoshida Oikaze heard of his case, he made new yokozuna Ōnomatsu Midorinosuke.[1]
