Asakayama stable

Asakayama stable (浅香山部屋, Asakayama-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers. 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. As of May 2014 it had four wrestlers. Two were wrestlers he took with him from his former stable and two were new recruits.[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.[3] As of May 2018 it had twelve wrestlers.
