Ajigawa (toshiyori)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ajigawa (Japanese: 安治川) is a toshiyori (an elder of the Japan Sumo Association). The name is now owned by Aminishiki, who is still an active rikishi. It is being borrowed by former maegashira Kōbō, who retired in December 2007. He is correctly addressed as Ajigawa-oyakata.
