Fujishima Stable (2010)
, formerly known as Musashigawa stable, is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Dewanoumi ''ichimon'' or group of stables. It was set up in August 1981 by former ''yokozuna'' Mienoumi, who branched off from Dewanoumi stable. Since its founding Dewanoumi had a long tradition of not permitting its coaches to break away and form new stables, and Mienoumi was the first to amicably depart Dewanoumi stable since Tochigiyama set up Kasugano stable 62 years earlier. By the early 2000s it had become the strongest stable in sumo, with a ''yokozuna'', three '' ōzeki'' and several other top division wrestlers. Until January 2025, the stable was the last to have lined up seven of its wrestlers ( Musashimaru, Musōyama, Miyabiyama, Buyūzan, Dejima, Kakizoe and Wakanoyama) in the ''makuuchi'' division during the September 2003 tournament, a feat matched only by Isegahama stable, 22 years later.

Maegashira
, or , is the top division of the six divisions of professional sumo. Its size is fixed at 42 wrestlers (''rikishi''), ordered into five ranks according to their ability as defined by their performance in previous tournaments.
