Ōshima stable

Ōshima stable (大島部屋, Ōshima-beya^?) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Tatsunami ichimon or group of stables. It was set up in 1980 by former ozeki Asahikuni, who branched off from Tatsunami stable. The head of Tatsunami stable opposed the setting up of the new stable, and did not speak to Oshima Oyakata until Asahifuji was promoted to ozeki in 1987.^[1] Oshima has produced eight sekitori since it opened, all of whom have gone on to reach the top makuuchi division. As of May 2011 the sole sekitori is veteran Kyokutenhō, who will take over the running of the stable when the current head coach reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65 in 2012.

Most wrestlers' fighting names include the Chinese character "旭" meaning "sunrise", that can be read as either Asahi or Kyoku, taken from the founding stablemaster's shikona.^{[citation needed]}
