Isegahama stable
Asahifuji has remained in the sumo world as a coach. He had married a niece of the former Kasugayama-"oyakata" (former "maegashira" Ōnobori) in 1988, and seemed set to revive Kasugayama stable, but instead he took over Ajigawa stable in 1993 due to the poor health of the previous incumbent (former "sekiwake" Mutsuarashi). The first top division wrestler he produced was Aminishiki in 2000, who reached the "sekiwake" rank in 2007. Aminishiki's brother Asōfuji, who retired in 2011 after a match-fixing scandal, was also a briefly a top division wrestler. In November 2007 Asahifuji acquired the prestigious Isegahama elder name and renamed his stable Isegahama stable. (The Ajigawa name was acquired by Aminishiki and was loaned to Shikishima of Michinoku stable until July 2012, when Shikishima switched to the Urakaze name.) He has also worked as a judge at tournament matches.
