Takasago stable
was a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Takasago group of stables. It was founded in February 1986 by the Hawaiian born Takamiyama of the Takasago stable in Higashi–Komagata, Sumida, Tokyo. It was the first stable ever to be run by a foreign-born coach. Azumazeki's first "sekitori" was Akebono, also from Hawaii, in 1990, who subsequently reached the "yokozuna" rank. A total of nine foreign born wrestlers have fought for the stable: seven from the United States, one from Great Britain and one (Kosei) from China who retired in January 2017. The stable's first Japanese "sekitori" was Takamisakari. As of January 2021 it had seven wrestlers.
