Abstract: Koberda proved that if a graph $Gamma$ is a full subgraph of a curve graph $mathcalC(S)$ of an orientable surface $S$, then the right-angled Artin group $A(Gamma)$ on $Gamma$ is a subgroup of the mapping class group $mMod(S)$ of $S$. On the other hand, for a sufficiently complicated surface $S$, Kim-Koberda gave a graph $Gamma$ which is not contained in $mathcalC(S)$, but $A(Gamma)$ is a subgroup of $mMod(S)$. In this paper, we prove that if $Gamma$ is a full subgraph of a disk graph $mathcalD(H)$ of a handlebody $H$, then $A(Gamma)$ is a subgroup of the handlebody group $mMod(H)$ of $H$. Further, we show that there is a graph $Gamma$ which is not contained in some disk graphs, but $A(Gamma)$ is a subgroup of the corresponding handlebody groups.
