Miyagino stable
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miyagino stable is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Tatsunami ichimon or group of stables. It was originally founded around 1800 by Miyagino Nishikinosuke. Its current head coach is former juryo division wrestler Kanechika, who took over from former maegashira Chikubayama in August 2004. Unusually, the new stablemaster was from a different ichimon (Kanechika belonged to Kitanoumi stable, part of the Dewanoumi ichimon, in his days as an active wrestler). Kanechika was able to take control of the stable because he married one of the daughters of the 9th Miyagino's widow, who owned the toshiyori name which Chikubayama was only borrowing, and was adopted by her as her son. Chikubayama, who had guided future yokozuna Hakuho to the top division, was able to stay on as a coach in the stable by acquiring the Kumagatani name. As of November 2007, the stable had nine wrestlers.
