Yoshibayama celebrates yokozuna promotion at Takashima stable (c. 1954)

Takashima stable (高島部屋, Takashima-beya) was a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Tatsunami ichimon or group of stables. In 1961, Takashima oyakata (former komusubi Tomoegata) acquired the Tomozuna elder stock and the stable became Tomozuna stable.

History[]

The stable existed from at least 1922, run by former maegashira Hakkozan and continued after his death in 1951 by former komusubi Tomoegata. The stable had yokozuna Yoshibayama and Ozeki Mitsuneyama as members. Upon Mitsuneyama's retirement in January 1960 he branched out and founded a stable of his own, then known as Kumagatani stable. In May 1961 he received the more prestigious Takashima toshiyori (Ex-Tomoegata having switched to the Tomozuna name) and changed the name of the stable to match. Thus the March 1961 and May 1961 banzuke both had stables called Takashima, but they were entirely separate entities, the old continuing as Tomozuna stable.
