Wakamatsu stable

若松部屋

According to Japanese Wikipedia, Wakamatsu stable no longer exists under this name: it was dissolved in February 2002, when all its wrestlers moved to Takasago stable, after Wakamatsu had absorbed the old Takasago stable and taken its name. The stable was founded in January 1929 by the former komusubi Imizugawa, who split off from Takasago stable. Its last head, from March 1990 to 2002, was Wakamatsu Suehiro, the former ozeki Asashio Taro IV (ozeki is the second-highest rank). According to Japanese Wikipedia, it belonged to the Takasago ichimon when it last existed.
