Takadagawa stable
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Takadagawa stable (高田川部屋, Takadagawa-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Nishonoseki ichimon or group of stables. It was formed in 1974 by former ōzeki Maenoyama, and was originally in the Takasago group of stables before joining the Nishonoseki ichimon. A series of wrestlers from Taiwan were recruited in the late 1980s. Later a Mongolian, Maenoyu, was at the stable from 2004 until 2007, but there have been no foreigners recruited since Maenoyu's retirement and the current stablemaster has indicated there are no plans to do in the immediate future.[1] As of January 2023, it had 19 wrestlers.
Takadagawa stable is home to the 38th Kimura Shōnosuke[broken anchor], the current chief sumo referee.
