Sadogatake stable

Sadogatake stable

Sadogatake stable (Japanese: 佐渡ヶ嶽部屋, "Sadogatake-beya") is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Nishinoseki group of stables. In its modern form it dates from September 1955, when it was set up by former "komusubi" Kotonishiki Noboru. Former "yokozuna" Kotozakura took over the running of the stable in 1974 following Kotonishiki's death. Over the next thirty years the stable produced a string of top division wrestlers. Kotozakura stood down in November 2005, handing the stable over to his son-in-law, former "sekiwake" Kotonowaka. As of July 2007, it had 20 sumo wrestlers. In August 2007 it became the first stable since Musashigawa stable in 2001 to have two wrestlers ranked at "ozeki" simultaneously.

All wrestlers in the Sadogatake stable begin their names with the Kanji 琴, ("Koto") the Japanese instrument.
