Hakkaku stable (?八角部屋 Hakkaku beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Takasago group of stables.
The stable was established on 27 September 1993 by former yokozuna Hokutoumi Nobuyoshi, who took with him four wrestlers from Kokonoe stable. The stable has so far produced nine sekitori, and three makuuchi wrestlers. As of May 2009 it had 26 wrestlers in total.
Many Hakkaku wrestlers have the kanji 北勝 (pronounced hokuto or hokutō) in their ring name.
