Twenty-year-old Yusei Nakanishi has a new shikona (ring name).

Going by Asonishiki since January 2019, the Sakaigawa stable man, who at first used his own name as a shikona, will henceforth be known as Asonoyama.

Although no explanation was given, the new name is almost certainly derived from Mount Aso (Japan¡¯s largest active volcano) located in his native Kumamoto Prefecture.
