Oitekaze stable
The Oitekaze stable (追手風部屋, Oitekaze-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Tokitsukaze ichimon or group of stables. It was established in its modern incarnation on 1 October 1998 by former maegashira Daishōyama, who is the stable's current head coach. He had married the daughter of the previous Oitekaze-oyakata and branched off from Tomozuna stable, taking some wrestlers with him including future sekitori Hayateumi and Daishōdai.[1] As of January 2023, it had 18 wrestlers, of which seven were sekitori. Eight wrestlers in the stable's history have reached the top makuuchi division as of 2019.[2]
In December 2016, the stable moved from the Isegahama ichimon to the Tokitsukaze ichimon.
In April 2024, coach Tatsutayama transferred from the former Michinoku stable, following the latter's closure after the retirement of former Kirishima.[3]
Ring name conventions
[edit | edit source]Many wrestlers at this stable take ring names or shikona that begin with the characters 大翔 (read: daishō) or simply 大 (read: dai), in deference to their coach and the stable's owner, the former Daishōyama.
