ōzeki Tsurugizan. Because he scouted him, the
ōzeki asked
his master to recruit him into their stable. Oshida was later adopted by the 15th
yokozuna Umegatani and joined his Ikazuchi stable in June 1892 at the age of 14. His father was initially reluctant to let him join at such a young age but Umegatani Tōtarō I personally guaranteed his well-being. He missed many bouts in his later career due to illness, retiring at the age of 37. In the top
makuuchi division, he won 168 bouts and lost 27 bouts, recording a winning percentage of 86.2. So many people wished to attend his retirement ceremony that it was held over three days. He died at the age of 49 whilst still active in sumo as a
