Oshiogawa stable (2022)
Oshiogawa stable (押尾川部屋, Oshiogawa-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Nishonoseki group of stables. It broke off from Oguruma stable by its founder, former sekiwake Takekaze, and officially opened in February 2022.[1] The planned opening of the stable was first announced in April 2021, and was prompted by the imminent retirement of the head of Oguruma stable, former ōzeki Kotokaze, who turned 65 years of age in April 2022.[2] As of January 2023 it had six wrestlers.
Ring name conventions[edit]
Oshiogawa has announced that all his recruits will have the kanji kaze (風, wind) as a prefix in their shikona. In Oguruma stable, it was used as a suffix.[3]
