Hasegawa joined professional sumo in March 1960. Unusually, he fought under his own name for his entire career (he is the only top division wrestler from Sadogatake stable not to have adopted a shikona or fighting name with the prefix "Koto"). He made the juryo division in January 1963 and was promoted to the top makuuchi division two years later in January 1965.
Hasegawa quickly reached the titled sanyaku ranks, becoming a komusubi in November 1965. He was runner-up to yokozuna Taihō in the May 1967 tournament. He reached sekiwake for the first time in January 1969. He won the top division yusho or tournament championship at sekiwake rank in March 1972, defeating Kaiketsu in a playoff. However, as there were already four ozeki at that time he was not promoted to sumo's second highest rank. Managing only eight wins in the following tournament in May, he never became an ozeki. He was a sekiwake for 21 tournaments, a record which stood until 2007 when it was broken by Kotomitsuki. His last appearance at sekiwake was in January 1974. After this tournament he changed the second part of his shikona from Katsutoshi to Katsuhiro but it did not bring a change of luck and he remained largely in the maegashira ranks.
Hasegawa retired in May 1976, but remained in the sumo world as an elder, with the name Hidenoyama Oyakata. Until 2008 he was a Director of the Japan Sumo Association, responsible for the running of the annual honbasho held in Nagoya. He is now working at Special Executive level. Unusually for a senior member of the Assocaition, he is not in charge of a stable. Instead he works as a coach at Sadogatake stable under former sekiwake Kotonowaka.
