is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Takasago ''ichimon'' or group of stables.

Takasago Stable
is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Takasago group of stables. It is correctly written in Japanese as "髙砂部屋", but the first of these ''kanji'' is rare, and is more commonly written as "高砂部屋". History The stable was established by former ''maegashira'' Takasago Uragorō as in 1873 and joined the Tokyo Sumo Association in 1878. Takasago stable has produced many successful wrestlers, including six ''yokozuna'' and the first non-Japanese '' ōzeki'', American Konishiki, as well as the 33rd Kimura Shōnosuke, the '' tate-gyōji'' or chief referee. In February 2002, the stable merged with Wakamatsu stable, with Wakamatsu's coach, former '' ōzeki'' Asashio, taking over. Future ''yokozuna'' Asashōryū was among the wrestlers transferring over. The demotion of Asasekiryū to the ''makushita'' division for the January 2017 tournament saw the stable without any ''sekitori'' for the first time since 1878. However, at the end of that tournament Asanoyama earned p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
