Isenoumi stable

Isenoumi stable is a stable of sumo wrestlers. Part of the Tokitsukaze group of stables, it is one of the oldest active stables in sumo, dating back to the mid-eighteenth century.Cite book |author=Sharnoff, Lorna |title=Grand Sumo|publisher=Weatherhill |year=1993 |id=ISBN 0-8348-0283-x] The legendary Tanikaze, one of the first Yokozuna, and his protégé Raiden, arguably the greatest "rikishi" ever, were both members of Isenoumi stable. In the 1960s the stable produced Yokozuna Kashiwado, who upon his retirement left to found Kagamiyama stable in 1970.Cite book |author=Sharnoff, Lorna |title=Grand Sumo|publisher=Weatherhill |year=1993 |id=ISBN 0-8348-0283-x]

Isenoumi stable's current head coach, former "sekiwake" Fujinokawa, has been in charge since 1982.Cite book |author=Sharnoff, Lorna |title=Grand Sumo|publisher=Weatherhill |year=1993 |id=ISBN 0-8348-0283-x] He is also a Director of the Japan Sumo Association. The stable is situated in Tokyo's Edogawa ward. To help tackle the high crime rate in that area, Isenoumi Oyakata has instructed his wrestlers to go on night patrols, the first time a stable has done this. [cite web|author=Karube, Takuya|title=Sumo ranks' crime patrols also good PR|url=http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20040106b5.html|publisher=Japan Times|date=2004-01-06|accessdate=2007-11-24] As of November 2007, the stable had 14 wrestlers.
