Ōtake stable (大嶽部屋 Ōtake-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers.
It was set up in 1971, as Taihō stable, by yokozuna Taihō Kōki on his retirement from wrestling. It passed on to his son-in-law Ōtake (former sekiwake Takatōriki) on his retirement. Its most famous recent wrestler was Rohō.
In January 2010 the stable, along with the Takanohana, Onomatsu and Magaki stable, was forced to leave the Nishonoseki ichimon after Takanohana declared his intention to run as an unofficial candidate in the elections to the Sumo Association's board of directors.[1]
Following the dismissal of the former Takatoriki for his involvement in a scandal over illegal betting, in July 2010 the stable was taken over by the former juryo wrestler Dairyu, who had been working as a coach at the stable under the name Futagoyama.
