Career
Wakatakakage, a 183cm *rikishi* from Fukushima Prefecture, competes for Arashio stable. He made his professional debut in March 2017 and has established himself in the upper *maegashira* ranks. In May 2026, he posted a strong 12-3 record at *komusubi*, earning promotion to *sekiwake* for the July 2026 tournament. However, he withdrew completely from that basho, recording fifteen absences. His recent form shows resilience in the *san'yaku* ranks, with consistent winning records at *maegashira* 1-2 preceding his *komusubi* breakthrough.
His attack balances *yorikiri* and belt techniques with pushing methods, employing both approaches nearly equally.
