Futabayama stable

双葉山道場

As verified on 2026-10-23, no stable named Futabayama exists today: the Futabayama Sumo Dojo was renamed Tokitsukaze stable in November 1945 and continues as Tokitsukaze stable. According to Japanese Wikipedia, the yokozuna (the highest rank in sumo) Futabayama founded the dojo in May 1941, while still active, after leaving Tatsunami stable with 10 live-in apprentices. He was its head until the renaming, when he took the elder name Tokitsukaze. No yokozuna or ozeki is documented for the stable under the Futabayama name, according to Japanese Wikipedia.
