Arashio stable

At the end of 2009 the stable produced its first sekitori, the Chinese born (but ethnic Mongolian)[1] Sōkokurai who in 2013 returned to active sumo after a two-year absence when his dismissal for match-fixing was nullified by the courts.

The stable's second sekitori, Wakatakakage, reached jūryō in May 2018, and the makuuchi division for the first time in November 2019.

[3] In the January 2022 honbasho, Wakatakakage became the first wrestler from the stable to reach the rank of sekiwake.

Apart from its human residents, the Arashio was home to the cats Moru and Mugi, former strays which were adopted by the stable.
