Kiriyama stable

It was set up in January 1995 by the former komusubi Kurosegawa, who branched out from the now defunct Isegahama stable and took with him the remaining members of the Onaruto stable which closed at the end of 1994.

In that year the stable also produced its first sekitori, the Mongolian Tokusegawa.

The stable closed after the January 2011 tournament.

On January 27, 2011, the Japan Sumo Association approved the transfer of Kiriyama stable to Asahiyama stable.

[1] Eleven people moved to Asahiyama, while Kokichi moved to Tomozuna stable, and gyoji Kiichiro Shikimori and tokoyama Tokosaku moved to Oitekaze stable.
