Career
Asakoryu is a 27-year-old *rikishi* from Osaka competing for Takasago *heya*. He made his professional debut in May 2021 and reached the *makuuchi* division by early 2026. After consecutive *kachi-koshi* in January and March 2026 lifted him to *maegashira* 7, a mid-tournament withdrawal in May 2026 dropped him back to the lower *maegashira* ranks. He rebounded with a 9–6 record in July 2026 and now holds *maegashira* 13 East for the September 2026 tournament.
His attack centers on pushing techniques, supplemented by throws and *yorikiri* as secondary weapons.
