About

Tamanoi stable (玉ノ井部屋, Tamanoi-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Dewanoumi ichimon or group of stables. It was set up in 1990 by former sekiwake Tochiazuma Tomoyori, who branched off from Kasugano stable. He coached his son, who also wrestled under the name Tochiazuma, to ōzeki rank. Tamanoi reached retirement age in September 2009, and was succeeded by his son. As of January 2020, the stable had 28 wrestlers, one of them being a sekitori. The stable is based in Nishiarai in Tokyo's Adachi ward, and built new premises in 2004, 10 minutes from the old location. In December 2011 Tamanoi-oyakata and wrestlers from the stable assisted the police by starting street crime prevention patrols in the local area in the run up to the New Year celebrations.
