 As the name of Taihō was an "ichidai-toshiyori" (one-generation elder name) it could not be passed on, so the stable was re-named Ōtake.In 2004 the Russian Rohō reached the top division, but was dismissed from sumo in September 2008 after failing a test for cannabis.In January 2010 the stable, along with the Takanohana, Ōnomatsu and Magaki stable, was forced to leave the Nishonoseki "ichimon" after Takanohana declared his intention to run as an unofficial candidate in the elections to the Sumo Association's board of directors.
