Tatsunami stable

立浪部屋

Tatsunami stable is in Hashiba, Taito Ward, Tokyo. Its head is Tatsunami (Tatsunami Taiji), a former komusubi who wrestled as Asahiyutaka. According to Japanese Wikipedia, the stable belongs to the Dewanoumi ichimon and was founded in 1915 by former komusubi Midorishima. Yokozuna, the highest rank in sumo, who belonged to the stable include Futabayama, Haguroyama, Futahaguro and the active Hoshoryu. The Japan Sumo Association's stable page for the September tournament lists two sekitori (wrestlers in juryo or the top division): Hoshoryu in the top division and Meisei in juryo, the second division.

Availability permitting, and requests may not be met. Visits are free for supporters' club members, and each member may bring one non-member companion. The Tokyo entry also says there are no practice visits during tournaments. A separate entry for the Osaka, Nagoya and Kyushu tournaments says morning practice may be visited, with restrictions if it is crowded.

Hoshoryu was promoted to yokozuna after the January 2025 tournament.

The 4th Tatsunami raised Yokozuna Futabayama, Yokozuna Haguroyama and Ozeki Nayoroiwa, known as the Tatsunami Sanbagarasu (per Japanese Wikipedia).
