Career
Kashiwado was born in Aomori and went to Edo in 1806, joining
Isenoumi stable. He was given the name Kashiwado and worked under the
Hirosaki Domain. His highest rank was ''
ōzeki''. He won 16 tournaments in the top ''
makuuchi'' division, but his top division win ratio was not so high at .810, compared with
Tanikaze (.949) and
Onogawa (.917).
In June 1823, the ''Gojo'' family granted ''
yokozuna'' licences to Kashiwado and his rival
Tamagaki, but he rejected his. The reason has been said to be that he was afraid that this would cause conflict with the ''Yoshida'' family. Tamagaki also rejected the licence. The following year Tamagaki suddenly died, and his death shocked Kashiwado. In January 1825, Kashiwado lost three consecutive bouts and retired.
