Irumagawa stable
Irumagawa stable (入間川部屋 Irumagawa-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Dewanoumi ichimon or group of stables. It was set up in January 1993 by former sekiwake Tochitsukasa, who branched off from Kasugano stable. As of January 2016 it had twelve wrestlers.
Ring name conventions
Many wrestlers at this stable take ring names or shikona that end with the character 司 (read: tsukasa), in deference to their coach and the stable's owner, the former Tochitsukasa.
