Career
Ichiyamamoto, fighting out of Hanaregoma *heya*, debuted in January 2017 and has competed in the upper *maegashira* ranks. Standing 190 cm and weighing 155 kg, the Hokkaido native has experienced significant rank volatility in recent tournaments. After an 11–4 performance at *maegashira* 8 in November 2025 propelled him to *maegashira* 1, he posted consecutive *make-koshi* records that dropped him back to the mid-*maegashira* range. His July 2026 standing at *maegashira* 4 west reflects this recent turbulence in the upper division.
His attack is overwhelmingly *oshi-zumō*, relying almost exclusively on pushing and thrusting techniques.
- November 2025 Basho
- Strong 11–4 *kachi-koshi* at *maegashira* 8 earned promotion to career-high *maegashira* 1 for the following tournament.

- May 2026 Basho
- Second consecutive *make-koshi* (6–9) at *maegashira* 2, continuing downward trajectory after January's poor showing.
