He revealed at the event that he has been married since December 2014. In January 2018, he became the owner of the Otowayama kabu, replacing ex-Otowayama Oyakata Kōbō, who had it on loan and left the Japan Sumo Association. In September 2019 he became the new Onomatsu Oyakata and head of the Onomatsu stable, swapping with ex-sekiwake Masurao who left the Sumo Association for health reasons. Fighting style Daidō preferred to fight on the opponent's mawashi or belt as opposed to pushing or thrusting. His favoured grip was migi-yotsu, with his left hand outside and right hand inside in his opponent's arms. His most common winning kimarite was uwatenage, or overarm throw, followed by yori-kiri or force out.
