Rather than messing with the sumodb, I just clicked through the people listed on the yusho page. Only a couple people had mid 30s yusho-- Tamawashi had a win at 37, Chiyonofuji was 36, and Tochinishiki was 35. Looks like there were only a few other people with wins in their 30s at all.

As far as I could tell, in modern sumo Tamawashi holds the record for his win in 2022-- found an article about it.
