1963 September Basho, final day
Kashiwado vs. Taiho

Kashiwado started 1963 by withdrawing from the January Basho completely.
The following March, he was forced to pull out from the sixth day with injuries to his right shoulder and elbow. That and a series of other health problems forced him to miss almost all of the first four basho of the year.
Coming back in style in September, he went undefeated over the first fourteen days to face rival yokozuna Taiho, also undefeated, for the tournament championship on day fifteen. He won that match by yorikiri, or frontal force out, to take his second top division title with a perfect 15-0 record. That title also marked his first as a yokozuna.

1967 July Basho, 14th day
Kashiwado vs. Tamanoshima


Yokozuna Sadanoyama and ozeki Yutakayama, both picking up their third loss of the tournament in earlier matches, gave Kashiwado his fifth top championship before he even stepped up onto the dohyo. The yokozuna didn't let up though, making short work of Tamanoshima by yorikiri or frontal force out on the fourteenth day and defeating Sadanoyama on the fifteenth, to finish with an outstanding 14-1 record.
