About

Nishonoseki stable (二所ノ関部屋, Nishonoseki-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Nishonoseki group of stables. It broke off from Tagonoura stable by its founder, the 72nd yokozuna Kisenosato, and officially opened in August 2021 as Araiso stable (荒磯部屋, Araiso-beya). The name of the stable changed in January 2022 after the Japan Sumo Association approved the changing of Kisenosato's toshiyori (elder name) from Araiso to Nishonoseki, following the retirement of former ōzeki Wakashimazu.
