Tokitsukaze stable

Tokitsukaze stable

The nihongo|Tokitsukaze stable|時津風部屋|Tokitsukaze-beya is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Tokitsukaze group of stables. It was originally founded in 1769 and was dominant during the Taishō period. In its modern form it dates from 1941 when it was established by Futabayama, who was still an active wrestler at the time. Initially known as Futabayama Dojo, it was officially named Tokitsukaze stable in November 1945 when Futabayama retired. Upon Futabayama's death in 1968 the former Kagamisato took charge for a short time, but Futabayama's widow wanted Yutakayama to take over, which he did upon his retirement in 1969. He in turn passed control of the stable on to his successor Futatsuryu in August 2002. As of March 2008, it had ten active wrestlers. It is currently one of the most successful stables, with four "sekitori. "

The death of 17 year-old junior member Tokitaizan (real name Takashi Saito) on June 26, 2007, eventually resulted in the dismissal of the head of the stable, Tokitsukaze (real name Junichi Yamamoto). This compelled Tokitsuumi, a long time top division wrestler from the stable, to retire from active sumo and take over as the new head of the stable.
