Kagamiyama stable
Kagamiyama stable (鏡山部屋 Kagamiyama-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Tokitsukaze ichimon or group of stables. It was set up in November 1970 by former yokozuna Kashiwado, who branched off from the Isenoumi stable. Upon his death in December 1996 the stable passed to his protegé, former sekiwake Tagaryū. As of January 2016 it had two wrestlers, one of them Tagaryū's son, making it the smallest active stable.
Ring name conventions
Many wrestlers at this stable take ring names or shikona that include the character 竜 (read: ryū), in deference to their coach and the stable's owner, the former Tagaryū.
