Nakagawa stable

Nakagawa stable (中川部屋 Nakagawa-beya) was a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Tokitsukaze ichimon or group of stables. It was founded on Jan 26, 2017 with nine wrestlers, all of whom were previously members of Kasugayama stable. That stable closed in October 2016, with its wrestlers living temporarily in Oitekaze stable. One of Oitekaze's coaches, Nakagawa-oyakata (former maegashira Asahisato), agreed to become the head coach of the newly formed stable.[1] He effectively replaced Kasugayama-oyakata (former maegashira Hamanishiki), who was forced to resign from the Japan Sumo Association on Jan 16 2017 because of a legal dispute with the previous Kasugayama-oyakata (former maegashira Kasugafuji) which meant he was unable to obtain the necessary toshiyori certificate to remain a stablemaster.[2] As of January 2020 the stable had 9 wrestlers.

In July 2020 reports emerged that the Sumo Association’s compliance committee was investigating complaints by wrestlers at the stable of power harassment leveled against Nakagawa Oyakata.[3] On 13th July 2020 it was decided that the stable would close down, Nakagawa would be demoted two ranks to standard Toshiyori and be moved to Tokitsukaze stable. Remaining rikishi and personnel will be distributed to a further seven stables.[4]

gollark: As opposed to passively awful for me like mostly not doing exercise.
gollark: I determined that given my horrible tendency to devalue medium/long-term stuff automatically anyway I should really not do things which are *actively* awful for me without a very good reason.
gollark: Self-driving cars will definitely be very neat when someone gets them to work mostly independently. Unless stupid lawmakers/etc. require a human constantly there to monitor it.
gollark: This is rather 🐝 logic.
gollark: Yes, they are discussing the big colony ship thing.
