Mihogaseki stable

Mihogaseki stable (三保ヶ関部屋, Mihogaseki-beya) was a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Dewanoumi ichimon or group of stables. It had a long history. It closed its doors in October 2013, and its staff and wrestlers transferred to Kasugano stable.

History[]

Mihogaseki stable was established in 1950 by former ozeki Masuiyama I. After a long period without success, he eventually managed to produce some strong sekitori, including Kitanoumi who reached yokozuna in 1974, and his eldest son, Masuiyama Daishirō II, who was born in 1948, entered his father's stable in 1967 alongside Kitanoumi and reached the ōzeki rank in 1980. In November 1984 Masuiyama reached the mandatory retirement age set by the Japan Sumo Association and passed on control of Mihogaseki stable to his son. He died less than one year later. Kitanoumi, his most successful wrestler, missed his own father's funeral to attend Masuiyama's.

In November 1984 Masuiyama II succeeded his father as head coach of Mihogaseki stable, when the latter reached the retirement age of 65. His father died in 1986. He inherited ōzeki Hokutenyū, and produced four other top division wrestlers: Higonoumi, Hamanoshima, Baruto and Aran. In 2006 Baruto would transfer to Onoe stable and become an ozeki.

Being close to the mandatory retirement age, Mihogaseki wound his stable up in October 2013, with himself and his remaining wrestlers moving to Kasugano stable. Aran chose to retire instead.
