All kabu
A toshiyori-kabu (年寄株) is one of 104 inheritable elder-name slots inside the Japan Sumo Association. Every retired wrestler who wants to stay in the sport as an oyakata (coach, judge, association officer) needs to own or rent one. The pool is fixed — when an oyakata leaves the association the name passes to the next holder, usually with a Generation N suffix. Some names go back 200+ years.
Names cluster into five ichimon: the loose political factions that organize the JSA's roughly forty active stables. Each kabu page traces every recorded holder, with peak rank, heya during active life, and the years they held the name. 99 of 104 current holders are cross-linked to their /rikishi profile. Data scraped from Japanese Wikipedia; coverage detail on methodology / data.
