Birthdate: April 9, 1999
Height: 184 cm | 6' 0""

Kyushu 2024 Rank: Maegashira #11 West
Kyushu 2024 Record: 10-5
Takerufuji came back to Makuuchi after an injury layoff and demotion, delivering two straight 10-5 records. Those pale in comparison to his 13-2 yusho a year ago before the layoff, but back to back double-digit wins is always good. He's shooting up to Sanyaku, but upper Maegashira can easily slow even very good rikishi. His next few basho will shape his career in immense ways.
