Oitekaze stable

The Oitekaze stable (追手風部屋 Oitekaze-beya?) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Tatsunami ichimon or group of stables. It was established in its modern incarnation on 1 October 1998 by former maegashira Daishoyama, who is the stable's current head coach. He had married the daughter of the previous Oitekaze Oyakata and branched off from Tomozuna stable, taking some wrestlers with him including future sekitori Hayateumi and Daishodai.[1] As of December 2007, it had 17 wrestlers.
