Izutsu stable

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Izutsu stable (Japanese: 井筒部屋, Izutsu-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Tokitsukaze group of stables.

The stable was established in the Meiji era by former yokozuna Nishinoumi Kajirō I, the 16th yokozuna, who became the 7th Izutsu-oyakata. He was succeeded by Nishinoumi Kajirō II, the 25th yokozuna. Today, the stable remains in the hands of the same family, having passed through his grandson-in-law Tsurugamine Akio to then to his son Sakahoko Nobushige.
