Early life and sumo experience[]

Born in Yatsushiro in 1996, he began wrestling in the 5th grade at the age of 10.[1] In his third year at Tottori Johoku High School, he led his sumo team as captain to the number one position in Japan.[2] In 2014, he joined the stable of Takanohana, former Yokozuna. When Takanohana retired in 2018 he was transferred to Chiganoura stable, currently Tokiwayama stable. He was the uchi-deshi or attendant of ozeki Takakeisho.[3]

Career[]

His debut in maezumo saw him post 3 wins from 4, and his first honbasho in March, 2014 saw him post a record of 5-2. In November 2015 he injured his left knee which caused him to fall to sandanme, the fourth highest rank in the sport. He continued to wrestle in makushita for almost five years when in March 2021 he was promoted to Juryo the second highest rank in the sport.[3]

Fighting style[]

Takakento's main form of kimarite is oshi-zumo or pushing, with the majority of his wins coming via oshidashi.
