Hey there. Sorry I don't have Facebook. About Shotaro Oikawa, I found this MASSIVE flow chart detailing the mangaka of WSJ and their assistants/mentors here:

Look for Yusuke Murata (村田 雄介) a little down the left side of the chart. Follow the long line pointing downward and eventually, you'll find Daisuke Ashihara to the right of the line, as well as all the arrows pointing out of his name to indicate all the assistants I found. The rightmost arrow points to Shotaro Oikawa (おいかわ 昇太郎) on the right side of the chart.

By the way, seeing that your podcast seems to focus primarily on One Piece, may I ask why you'd like to know about Ashihara's assistants and Oikawa? It seems that Oikawa also served as an assistant for Shimabukuro of Toriko, but does that mean anything?
