In his May, 2007 jonokuchi division debut tournament, he posted an impressive 6-1 record.
In the next three tournaments he would go on to win three consecutive championships in each successive division.
His third consecutive championship, which he achieved at his makushita debut ranked at #33, was not enough to promote him directly to the next jūryō division, but his 5-2 record ranked at makushita #4 in the following January 2008 tournament was more than enough to grant him a jūryō promotion.
In the achievement of this feat, he logged 30 consecutive wins, a record for a wrestler in makushita and below.
During this span, after his defeat on the 6th day of the May 2007 tournament he did not lose again until his bout with Aran on the 11th day of the January 2008 tournament.
He had made juryo in just six tournaments from his professional debut, tying the long-standing record held by Itai.

His fortunes would change somewhat for his jūryō debut in the following tournament.
Possibly due to stress from the then ongoing investigation into the hazing scandal at his stable, as well as an injury to his toe on the 12th day, Tosayutaka only managed an uncharacteristic 6-9 record.
His first demotion dropped him to the top makushita slot, but a convincing 4-3 record put him straight back in jūryō for the July 2008 tournament in Nagoya.
 In his next 5 consecutive jūryō appearances after this, he only had one make-koshi.

He was promoted to the top makuuchi division in September 2009, and came through with a winning record.
After a 6-9 in November, he had two kachi-koshi performances of 8-7 and 10-5 in his next two makuuchi appearances, which saw him promoted to the upper maegashira ranks for the first time.
He defeated ozeki Kotooshu but could win only two other bouts.
After a quiet year or so in the mid-maegashira ranks, he was promoted to his highest rank to date of maegashira 1 following a 10-5 score in the May 2011 Technical Examination Tournament.
In the July tournament he injured his knee on Day 3 against Kotooshu and had to withdraw for the first time in his career.
He could manage only a 4-11 record on his return in September, and was demoted to jūryō.
Although he made an immediate return to makuuchi for the January tournament, he was unable to re–establish himself in the top division and recorded another 4–11 score.

He was unable to compete after pulling out of the July 2012 tournament due to a knee injury at the rank of jūryō 8 and dropped to the fourth sandanme division after missing three tournaments in a row.
However, he had made a complete recovery upon his return and achieved a perfect record and the sandanme championship after a playoff win.
After six tournaments in makushita with all but one winning tournament, one of which was the championship in the division in November 2013, Tosayutaka finally earned promotion back to the salaried ranks for the May 2014 tournament.
After a series of steady scores in jūryō, a 9-6 performance at the rank of Jūryō 5 was, somewhat unusually, good enough to earn promotion to the top division as there were four openings and only three men above him had kachi-koshi scores.
He returned to makuuchi in January 2015, a comeback from the rank of sandanme 84 in March 2013 - the lowest any top division wrestler earning promotion back has fallen.
The same fate would befall him again, however, when just two days into his makuuchi comeback he suffered a medial collateral ligament injury.
In July 2015 he underwent surgery and again dropped down to the sandanme ranks due to his repeated absences.
