Izutsu stable

Izutsu stable (Japanese: 井筒部屋, Izutsu-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Tokitsukaze group of stables.The stable was established in the Meiji era by former yokozuna Nishinoumi Kajirō I, the 16th yokozuna, who became the 7th Izutsu-oyakata. He was succeeded by Nishinoumi Kajirō II, the 25th yokozuna. Today, the stable remains in the hands of the same family, having passed to his grandson-in-law Tsurugamine Akio (via the 52nd yokozuna Kitanofuji who held the Izutsu name for a short time), and then to Tsurugamine's son Sakahoko Nobushige.
