I am sure Takanohana and Takanonami trained together a
bit while they were coming up but my understanding is
that Takanohana's favorite heya sekitori to have
training sessions is Akinoshima.  Akinoshima usually
waits for Takanohana to show up if the yokozuna wants
to do the training together.

Prior to the last basho, Takanohana often trained with
Takanowaka though he is not his heya mate.  I had a
feeling then if Takatoriki ever quits his yokozuna
dohyo-iri chore it would be passed on to Takanowaka.
