Shikoroyama stable


Shikoroyama stable is a stable of sumo wrestlers, formerly part of the Tokitsukaze ichimon or group of stables. It was established in its current form in February 2004 by former sekiwake Terao, who branched off from Izutsu stable. He did not take any established wrestlers with him, recruiting all the wrestlers himself instead. In December 2017 Shikoroyama Oyakata left the Tokitsukaze group along with Tatsutagawa Oyakata and Minato Oyakata, announcing that he would not join any other ichimon but would support Takanohana in the January 2018 elections to the board of the Japan Sumo Association. In September 2018 the stable joined the Nishonoseki group. As of January 2020, the stable had 20 wrestlers.

Ring name conventions

Since the establishment of the stable, some wrestlers at this stable have taken ring names or shikona that begin with the characters 寺尾, in deference to their coach and the stable's owner, the former Terao. Examples include Teraoshō, Teraoumi and Teraowaka.
