Nakagawa stable

Nakagawa stable is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Tokitsukaze ichimon or group of stables. It was founded on Jan 26, 2017 with nine wrestlers, all of whom were previously members of Kasugayama stable. That stable closed in October 2016, with its wrestlers living temporarily in Oitekaze stable. One of Oitekaze's coaches, Nakagawa-oyakata (former maegashira Asahisato), agreed to become the head coach of the newly formed stable.[1] He effectively replaced Kasugayama-oyakata (former maegashira Hamanishiki), who was forced to resign from the Japan Sumo Association on Jan 16 2017 because of a legal dispute with the previous Kasugayama-oyakata (former maegashira Kasugafuji) which meant he was unable to obtain the necessary toshiyori certificate to remain a stablemaster.[2] As of January 2018 the stable has eight wrestlers.
