Magaki stable

間垣部屋

According to Japanese Wikipedia, Magaki stable no longer exists under this name: it closed after the March 2013 tournament, and the 18th Magaki and his wrestlers (7 in total) moved to Isegahama stable on 25 March 2013. The stable was led by the 18th Magaki, the former Wakanohana (II), who reached yokozuna, the highest rank in sumo, as the 56th yokozuna. An earlier Magaki stable was founded in 1959 and closed in 1975, and the stable was re-established in 1983. Its ichimon was the Takanohana group (Takanohana ichimon), and it had been expelled from the Nishonoseki ichimon in 2010.
