Asakayama stable

Previous incarnations with this stable name have existed, with the last being headed by former yokozuna Nishinoumi, and which folded in 1933.

The current incarnation is part of the Isegahama ichimon or group of stables.

It was set up in February 2014 by former ōzeki Kaiō Hiroyuki (elder name Asakayama), who branched off from the Tomozuna stable.

[1][2] In the May 2014 tournament, this stable had the distinction of being the only one where all of its wrestlers achieved kachi-koshi or a majority of wins.

In September 2021 a 20-year-old member of the stable, Kaibushō, was arrested on charges of forcible indecency for soliciting nude images of an 11-year-old girl via LINE.
