Isegahama Stable
Isegahama stable was a heya or stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Tatsunami-Isegahama ''ichimon,'' or group of stables. It was founded in 1859 by former ''komusubi'' Arakuma. It was led from 1929 by former ''sekiwake'' Kiyosegawa. His daughter married the sixth head, the 38th ''yokozuna'' Terukuni Manzō who led the stable from 1961 until his death in 1977. He had already made arrangements to pass control over to former '' ōzeki'' Kiyokuni Katsuo before his death. After Kiyokuni's wife and children were killed in the Japan Airlines Flight 123 crash in 1985, the stable began to decline. He remarried and moved the stable's location, but his new wife was not as interested in helping to run the stable, and recruitment suffered. Its last top division wrestler Wakasegawa retired in 1992, and after ''jūryō'' division wrestler Kiyonofuji fell to ''makushita'' in January 1994, the stable had no more ''sekitori.'' By the end only two active wrestlers remained. After Kiyokuni re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Judge (sumo)
:''This article about a judge in sumo. For a kind of a feudal domain in the Edo period, see Shinpan (daimyo).'' or Shinpan are the ring-side judges of a professional sumo bout. In a sumo ''honbasho'' tournament five ''shimpan'' sit around the ring to observe which wrestler wins the matchup. When judging tournament bouts they wear formal Japanese dress of '' otokomono'', ''haori'' with '' mon'', and ''hakama''. At the end of each bout an initial decision is given by the ''gyōji'' (the ring referee), which is usually correct and no action is taken by the ''shimpan''. Five ''shimpan'' sit around the ring during the tournament. The order of importance of the ''shimpan'' is determined by where they sit. The order of importance goes North, East, South East, South West, West. They will rotate where they sit every day to maintain equality. However, during the top division only the chief ''shimpan'' and his two deputies may sit in the North. The South East ''shimpan'' also acts as the ti ...

Kiriyama Stable
was a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Tatsunami ''ichimon'' or group of stables. It was set up in January 1995 by the former ''komusubi'' Kurosegawa, who branched out from the now defunct Isegahama stable and took with him the remaining members of the Onaruto stable which closed at the end of 1994. In 2000 it absorbed Kise stable, and in 2007 its parent Isegahama stable. As of 2009, it had seven wrestlers. In that year the stable also produced its first ''sekitori,'' the Mongolian Tokusegawa. It was also the home of the chief ''yobidashi'' or usher. The stable closed after the January 2011 tournament, with its personnel moving to Asahiyama stable, except the ''yobidashi'' Kokichi who moved to Tomozuna stable, and '' gyoji'' Kiichiro Shikimori and ''tokoyama'' Tokosaku who moved to Oitekaze stable.
