Social Network
Hokuseihō is active on social media platforms where he engages with fans and shares insights into his life and training regimen. He has built a dedicated following, particularly on Instagram and Twitter, where he often posts updates related to his matches and personal triumphs.
He listed Hokkaido as his birthplace on the banzuke ranking sheets and was given the shikona of Hokuseihō. His debut was in March 2020, at a tournament with no spectators to due coronavirus restrictions.
There he made his debut at the same time as Shishi, the first Ukrainian to join professional sumo, and, the second son of former sekiwake Takatōriki and older brother of Ōhō. With the May 2020 tournament being cancelled altogether, his first official tournament with a ranking was in July 2020.
In his first three tournaments he won all 21 of his matches, to equal the fifth longest record start to a professional career in sumo history. He won the yūshō or championship in each of the jonokuchi, jonidan and sandanme divisions.
He had to sit out the January 2021 tournament, which would have been his debut in the makushita division, due to Hakuhō testing positive for COVID-19 and his whole stable being withdrawn from competition.
Upon his return in March 2021 he lost his first bout in professional sumo to Tokisakae to bring his winning streak to an end, but recovered to post a 5–2 record. A 6–1 record in May was followed by a 7–0 yūshō in July which saw him promoted to the jūryō division.
He became the fifth wrestler to win championships in every division from jonokuchi to makushita, and the first since Tochiazuma (now Tamanoi Oyakata).
He told reporters that he was pleased to have reached jūryō in just six tournaments and while still in his teens, and said that he was aiming for double-digit wins in his first tournament as a sekitori or salaried wrestler. He said he wanted to be a yokozuna by the age of 21, like his mentor Hakuhō.
Education
While Hokuseihō's primary focus has been on his sumo career, he has also prioritized his education. Although specific details about his formal education are not widely publicized, he values the importance of learning and personal development alongside his athletic pursuits.
He moved to Sapporo, Hokkaido at the age of five. On his way to a temporary return trip to Mongolia he met yokozuna Hakuhō by chance at an airport in South Korea, who encouraged him to try sumo. From his fourth to sixth year of elementary school he took part in wanpaku sumo competitions, and studied sumo at junior high school in Tottori City.
Hokuseihō quit the sumo club after he found the training too intense, but Hakuhō persuaded him to return. After graduating Hokuseihō enrolled at Tottori Jōhoku High School, known for its strong sumo program, again at Hakuhō's recommendation. Previous attendees of this school are Terunofuji and Ichinojō.
He won several high school sumo competitions, and after graduating, he joined Hakuhō at Miyagino stable. Although born in Mongolia, as he had been residing in Japan since five years old, he was able to obtain Japanese nationality and so did not need Miyagino's one foreigner spot (sumo rules allow for only one foreign-born wrestler per stable).
