Hatsu 2024 Rank: Juryo #10 East
Hatsu 2024 Record: 13-2
Takerufuji needed just one basho in Juryo to get up to Makuuchi, since he went 13-2 for the yusho AND some surprising demotions happened. He is 56-8 in a 9 basho pro career after starring at Nihon University, and he's fairly even between pushing and grappling. If you want to nitpick, he doesn't have incredible size and is nearly 25, but those are reasons to wonder about his ultimate ceiling. He should be good from the start.
