Career
Ryuden is a veteran *rikishi* from Yamanashi competing out of Takadagawa stable. He debuted in March 2006 and has shuttled between *makuuchi* and *jūryō* in recent tournaments. In May 2026 he competed at *maegashira* 16 but posted a 5–10 *make-koshi*, resulting in demotion back to the second division. A 9–6 *kachi-koshi* at *jūryō* 8 in September 2026 earned him promotion to his current rank of *jūryō* 5 East for the November 2026 basho.
His attack divides roughly equally between belt-grip techniques and pushing offense, with no pronounced stylistic dominance.
