Izutsu stable (Japanese: 井筒部屋, "Izutsu-beya") is a stable of
sumo wrestlers, part of the Tokitsukaze group of stables.The stable was established in the
Meiji era by former yokozunaNishinoumi Kajirō I , the 16th yokozuna, who became the 7th Izutsu-oyakata. He was succeeded byNishinoumi Kajirō II , the 25th yokozuna.
