Career
Wakanosho is a 23-year-old *rikishi* from Tochigi prefecture wrestling for Tokiwayama stable. He made his debut in January 2022 and climbed to the top division by March 2026, posting an 11–4 *kachi-koshi* at *jūryō* 3 West that earned him promotion to *maegashira* 16 East for May 2026. After a 9–6 record in that initial *makuuchi* basho, injury disrupted his summer campaign: he withdrew mid-tournament in July and sat out September entirely. He has since returned to *jūryō* 10 West for the current tournament.
