Often, on first joining professional sumo, a wrestler's "shikona" is the same as his family name. As a wrestler rises through the ranks of sumo, he is expected to change his "shikona". Stables often expect their wrestlers to adopt new "shikona" on entering the professional "jūryō" division. However, the timing depends on the naming traditions of individual stables. The wrestlers at Kokonoe stable for example, often adopt a new "shikona" upon entering the lower "sandanme" division, while wrestlers at Sadogatake stable generally adopt a new "shikona" on joining as trainees, even if those "shikona" are simply the character attached to the beginning of their original family names.
