Info
The Musashigawa stable (武蔵川部屋 Musashigawa-beya?) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Dewanoumi ichimon or group of stables. It is an off-shoot of the better known stable of the same name set up by former yokozuna Mienoumi in 1981, that changed its name to Fujishima stable when former ōzeki Musōyama took over as head coach in September 2010. Former yokozuna Musashimaru branched off from this stable in April 2013 after taking on the elder name of his former head coach, starting a new stable using the Musashigawa name, and starting a new generation of Musashigawa stable. This is the second stable in sumo history to be headed (and founded) by a foreign-born former sumo wrestler after Takamiyama's Azumazeki stable. The head coach's nephew is a wrestler at the stable under the shikona of Musashikuni and is ranked in the makushita division as of 2018. The stable is also home to the half Japanese, half African-American wrestler Wakaichiro. As of January 2018, it had 17 wrestlers.
