A powerful and imposing rikishi whose imposing frame made him a true force on the dohyo. Daishohou excelled at securing a deep right-hand inside grip before driving opponents backward with relentless forward pressure, reaching a career-high rank of maegashira 9 and competing with heart and determination in the top division. A legacy of strength, technical skill in yotsu sumo and the fighting spirit of a warrior.
