Oho is now the top-ranked wrestler in that stable, having reached the makuuchi division after four years in the sumo world. Taiho became yokozuna when he was 21, the same age as Oho is now.

Only five sumo wrestlers, including the legendary yokozuna Taiho, have ever won 12 victories or more in their debut tournaments as sekiwake, and all went on to become yokozuna or ozeki.
