The stable was established in 1981 by former ''
ōzeki''
Kaiketsu Masateru, as a breakaway from
Hanakago stable.
Among the wrestlers who went with him was
Ōnokuni, who reached the top ''
makuuchi'' division in 1983. In 1985 its parent stable folded and it took in the remaining Hanakago wrestlers, including future ''makuuchi''
Hananoumi and
Hananokuni. Ōnokuni became the 62nd ''
yokozuna'' in 1987. The stable had less success in later years, and did not have a ''
sekitori'' ranked wrestler after the retirement of
Shunketsu in 2008.
In August 2010, Hanaregoma became the head of the
Japan Sumo Association, a position he held until 2012.
On 7 February 2013, due to Hanaregoma′s imminent mandatory retirement, the stable was absorbed into Ōnokuni′s
Shibatayama stable, which had branched off from its parent in 1999.
