- Mihogaseki stable
-
The Mihogaseki stable (三保ヶ関部屋 Mihogaseki-beya ) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Dewanoumi ichimon or group of stables. Its current head coach, former ozeki Masuiyama Daishiro II took charge in November 1984. He is the son of the previous head, also an ozeki under the name Masuiyama, making it one of only three current stables that has been passed on from father to son. He has produced nine sekitori in that time, the most recent being the Russian Aran in July 2008. Until September 2006 the stable also had Baruto in the top division, but he has since moved to a newly formed stable, Onoe. As of December 2007, Mihogaseki stable had ten wrestlers.
