in 77 Makuuchi basho and retired at the age of 39. He was the first rikishi
to get the shukun-sho in September 1947, when the special prizes were first
introduced. After he retired, he assumed the name of Tagonoura Oyakata till
he retired. Upon retiring, he became a Sumo broadcaster and was famous for
his humorous style.
