Early life and sumo background

Born in Ise, Mie in 1993, he was active in his schools' sumo clubs throughout his childhood and eventually became the captain of Kindai University's sumo club.

Career

Debuting in '' maezumō'' in January 2016, he posted a 2-2 record. In his first tournament in March 2016, where he was ranked in '' jonokuchi'', he won the '' yūshō'' with a perfect 7-0 record and went on to win the '' jonidan'' ''yūshō'', also with a perfect record, the next tournament in May 2016. The next tournament in September 2016 he was promoted to '' sandanme'' where he posted a 6-1 record which saw him further promoted to '' makushita''.

For almost three years he remained in ''makushita'' until September 2019 when he was promoted to ''jūryō'' 14. His record of 5-10 that tournament sent him back to ''makushita'' in the November 2019 tournament, however, he managed to get promoted back to ''jūryō'' where he reached his highest rank of ''jūryō'' 12 in January 2020. He once again failed to post a winning record but managed to keep his rank where he also failed to post a winning score in March 2020, which sent him back to ''makushita'' in July 2020.

As of July 2021 he currently wrestles in the ''makushita'' division, having only posted a single winning record over the last seven tournaments.

Fighting style

Asagyokusei is an ''oshi''-style wrestler, employing '' kimarite'' such as ''yorikiri'' and ''kotenage''.
