Takakasuga, Tanegashima, Kyokusoten, Tamashoho. Four names appear in his official ring-name history. Eleven and a half years separate his September 2011 debut from his first juryo tournament in March 2023. Knowing how those names connect keeps the path intact when I look for earlier records.

189 cm, 123 kg and a 41% hatakikomi share

He favours a right-hand-inside grip, forward pressure and throws. The Association’s six-tournament figures show hatakikomi at 41%, tsukiotoshi at 13% and yorikiri at 13%. When an opponent puts weight forward, which direction does he move his feet? I want to watch not only the times he secures the belt, but also how he keeps his distance from someone closing between his arms.

Drawing and making stories

In the official questionnaire, he mentions drawing, making stories and animals. ONE PIECE is among his favourite works. Knowing that he makes stories himself makes me want to ask what title he would give the years that took him through those four names. He finished July 6–9 at west juryo 10 and was east juryo 12 for September.
