According to Japanese Wikipedia, Furiwake stable no longer exists under this name: it ended in March 1964, when Asashio Taro (3rd), who had run it independently of Takasago stable since September 1962, returned to Takasago stable. Asashio Taro (3rd), a yokozuna (the highest rank in sumo), was the last head of the stable, according to Japanese Wikipedia. The elder name Furiwake has been held since September 2024 by retired sekiwake Myogiryu, a stablemaster-attached elder at Sakaigawa stable.
