Takasago stable

Takasago stable (Japanese: 髙砂部屋 or 高砂部屋, "Takasago-beya") 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 高砂部屋.

The stable was established by former "maegashira" Takasago Uragorō as nihongo|Takasago Kaisei-Gumi|高砂改正組 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 or chief referee.

In February 2002 the stable merged with Wakamatsu stable, with Wakamatsu's coach, ex Ōzeki Asashio, taking over.
