Retirement
Upon retirement, Akinoshima became a coach (oyakata) at his heya under the name Fujishima. But disagreements with stablemaster Takanohana II over how to run the heya would eventually lead to Akinoshima moving to coach another heya, Takadagawa, a fairly rare occurrence in the world of sumo. He became Sendagawa Oyakata. He took over the running of Takadagawa stable from former ōzeki Maenoyama in August 2009. In September 2012 he oversaw the promotion of Ryuden to jūryō, the stable′s first sekitori since Dairaido in 2006.
