is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Takasago group of stables. It is correctly written in Japanese as "髙砂部屋", but the first of these ''kanji'' is rare, and is more commonly written as "高砂部屋". The stable was established by former ''maegashira'' Takasago Uragorō as in 1873 and joined to Tokyo sumo in 1878. Takasago stable has produced many successful wrestlers, including six ''yokozuna'' and American wrestler Konishiki, as well as the 33rd Kimura Shōnosuke, the ''tate-gyōji'' or chief referee. In February 2002 the stable merged with Wakamatsu stable, with Wakamatsu's coach, former ''ōzeki'' Asashio, taking over. Future ''yokozuna'' Asashōryū was among the wrestlers transferring over. ==Ring name conventions== Most wrestlers since the mid 1990s and all since 2003 at this stable have quickly taken ring names or ''shikona'' that begin with the character 朝 (read: asa), in deference their coach and the stable's owner, the former Asashio, as well as many of his predecessors who had the same ''shikona'' in their active years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Takasago stable」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
