The Agashya Group was originally named Group 13 after the initial family which numbered 13 at the time of habituation. At that time the group was led by a silverback called Nyakarima but was later overthrown by Agashya (pictured), meaning 'The News’ who is now the leader, and the family was then named after him.

Today the family has grown to 27 members including this silverback. The group occupies the same territory as the Sabyinyo group so sometimes Agashya takes the family deeper into the mountain when he senses danger.
