Takekuma stable
Takekuma stable (武隈部屋, Takekuma-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Dewanoumi group of stables. It broke off from Sakaigawa stable by its founder, former ōzeki Gōeidō Gōtarō, and officially opened in February 2022.[1] In May 2022 Nishikawa (now Gōnoyama) became the first member of the stable to be promoted to the jūryō division.[2] As of January 2023, the stable had six wrestlers.
Ring name conventions
Some wrestlers at this stable take ring names or shikona that begin with the character 豪 (read: gō), in deference to the coach and stable's owner, former Gōeidō.
