Kataonami stable
Appearance
Kataonami stable (片男波部屋, Kataonami-beya) is a
Tamawashi in January 2008.[1]
History
Kataonami stable is known for its ingenious training methods to make up for the lack of wrestlers, such as one man taking on two opponents at the same time.[2] In 2023, the stable obtained the promotion of its second sekitori in the person of
Asanoyama, a former ōzeki.[3]
Ring name conventions
Almost all wrestlers at this stable for the last forty years take the ring names or shikona that begin with the character 玉 (read: tama), meaning ball or sphere, in deference to the line of owners who have used this character in their own shikona.
