Sasshūnada's last tournament was in July 1992, and he chose to retire rather than compete in the "makushita" division in September. He had not missed a single bout in his career, fighting 1077 consecutive matches. He became an elder of the Sumo Association, working as a coach at Izutsu stable. Unable to purchase elder stock at first, he borrowed a succession of different elder names before acquiring the Tatsutayama name in 1998. In 2005 he transferred from Izutsu stable to work at Michinoku stable, run by his former stablemate Kirishima.
