Irumagawa stable no longer exists under this name: it was renamed Ikazuchi stable on 1 February 2023. According to Japanese Wikipedia, it was founded in January 1993 by the 16th Irumagawa, the former sekiwake Tochitsukasa, who split from Kasugano stable, and it belonged to the Dewanoumi ichimon. The 16th Irumagawa, Goto Tetsuo, handed the stable to the 17th Ikazuchi on 1 February 2023. No yokozuna or ozeki is listed for the stable in Japanese Wikipedia. An earlier, separate Irumagawa stable, founded in 1912, was merged into Dewanoumi stable in 1923.

According to Japanese Wikipedia, many wrestlers of the stable had the character 司 (tsukasa) in their ring names, taken from the founder's ring name Tochitsukasa.

According to Japanese Wikipedia, the stable favoured wrestlers from student sumo and produced five sekitori, the first being Oyamato, who reached juryo in January 1994.
