is a stable of sumo wrestlers. Previous incarnations with this stable name have existed, with the last being headed by former Nishinoumi, and which folded in 1933. The current incarnation is part of the Isegahama or group of stables. It was set up in February 2014 by former Kaiō Hiroyuki (elder name Asakayama), who branched off from the Tomozuna stable. To begin with it had four wrestlers, two of whom he took with him from his former stable and two of whom were new recruits. In the May 2014 tournament, this stable had the distinction of being the only one where all of its wrestlers achieved or a majority of wins. In September 2019 the stable produced its first in Kaishō, who was one of the transfers from Tomozuna stable. Kaito, the other Tomozuna transfer, won the division championship in that tournament, but announced his retirement after the September 2020 tournament due to a neck injury. As of January 2023 it had nine wrestlers.
In September 2021 a 20-year-old member of the stable, Kaibushō, was arrested on charges of forcible indecency for soliciting nude images of an 11-year-old girl via LINE.
On 5 June 2023, Tomozuna (the former Kaisei) transferred from Ōshima stable to Asakayama stable to serve as a coach.
As of May 2026, the stable has 12 active wrestlers.
