Former Komusubi, Homasho, has officially inherited Shikoroyama-beya. He has been acting stablemaster since the death of Terao. He now takes over full time and officially switches kabu and changes name from Tatsutagawa to Shikoroyama. I need to update my kabu dashboard and will try to get an update out this weekend.

Homasho was the first wrestler to reach sanyaku under the tutelage of Terao. Fans appreciated his style as well as his distinctive, deep, respectful bows to his opponents…in victory and defeat. Abi is currently the heya’s top wrestler, or heyagashira. Congratulations to Homasho, I mean, Shikoroyama-oyakata.
