Career

Shirokuma is a *jūryō*-ranked wrestler from Fukushima Prefecture competing for Nishonoseki stable. Standing 185 cm and weighing 155 kg, he made his professional debut in May 2022. After reaching *jūryō* 5 West in March 2026 with a 7-8 record, he dropped to *jūryō* 8 West for the May 2026 tournament, where he posted a 4-6 *make-koshi*. His relatively light frame for the division has not prevented him from establishing a foothold in the second-highest tier of professional sumo.

His attack is built around *oshi-zumō*, with belt techniques serving as a secondary weapon.
