Prior to joining sumo, Hirose was engaged in agriculture. He joined Dewanoumi stable and made his professional debut in May 1954, wrestling under the shikona "Datenishiki" (伊達錦). He was promoted to sandanme in May 1956 and makushita in November 1958. He was promoted to juryo in July 1963 and produced an 8-7 record in his first tournament.

He returned to juryo for two more tournaments in 1964 before retiring from sumo in May 1965.
Fighting Style[]
Datenishiki was a yotsu-sumo wrestler who prefers grappling to pushing and thrusting techniques. He favored a hidari-yotsu (right hand outside, left hand inside) position when gripping his opponent's mawashi (belt). His most common kimarite was yorikiri, or force out.
