Career
He made a debut in June 1909. He reached the top makuuchi division in May 1914 and won the championship with a 9-0-1 record.[1] Until Takerufuji in March 2024, he was the only wrestler since the creation of the official championship system in 1909 to win the top division championship at his first attempt.[2] After the win, he changed his shikona from Ryōgoku Yūjirō to Ryōgoku Kajinosuke. He reached sekiwake rank in January 1915 but was unable to climb any higher and spent most of the rest of his career as a maegashira. He retired in January 1924. After retirement, he worked under the name Takekuma in the Dewanoumi ichimon, and recruited Musashiyama. However, he later left the Dewanoumi ichimon and established Takekuma stable.
