At 53 years old, Kōtetsuyama Toyoya has this physical status:
He made his professional debut in March 1957, joining Asahiyama stable. He won the yūshō or tournament championship with a 13-2 record in the jūryō division in July 1963 and was promoted to the top makuuchi division in the following tournament in September 1963. He was demoted back to jūryō after only two tournaments and changed his shikona to Futasegawa, which had been the fighting name of his stablemaster. He won promotion back to makuuchi in July 1964 but was demoted again, this time after three tournaments. After switching back to the Kotetsuyama name he won promotion to makuuchi for the third time in May 1965 after a 12-3 jūryō runner-up performance, and this time stayed in the top division. He was runner-up to Taihō in March 1966, and won his first sanshō, for Fighting Spirit. In November 1966 he was runner-up for the second time, defeated yokozuna Sadanoyama to earn his first kinboshi, and received the Technique Prize. In the following tournament in January 1967 he was ranked at sekiwake, but scored only 3–12 and never reached the rank again. He is one of the rare examples of a wrestler whose only tournament in the sanyaku ranks was at sekiwake, rather than komusubi (along with Hayateumi and Hokutoriki). He earned a second kinboshi in July 1969 for beating Taihō, and remained a rank-and-file maegashira until March 1971, when a poor 1–14 record saw him demoted back to jūryō. He managed to return to makuuchi in November 1971 but was demoted to jūryō a number of times after that, his last makuuchi appearance coming in January 1974.
