Oitekaze stable
The Oitekaze stable (追手風部屋 Oitekaze-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Isegahama ichimon or group of stables. It was established in its modern incarnation on 1 October 1998 by former maegashira Daishōyama, who is the stable's current head coach. He had married the daughter of the previous Oitekaze Oyakata and branched off from Tatsunami stable, taking some wrestlers with him including future sekitori Hayateumi and Daishodai.[1] As of May 2015, it had 18 wrestlers.
Ring name conventions
Many wrestlers at this stable take ring names or shikona that begin with the characters 大翔 (read: daishō), in deference to their coach and the stable's owner, the former Daishōyama.
