Tokitsukaze stable is in Ryogoku, Sumida ward, Tokyo, a 3-minute walk from Ryogoku Station on the JR Sobu Line. Its head is Tokitsukaze, formerly the wrestler Tosayutaka. According to Japanese Wikipedia, the stable belongs to the Tokitsukaze ichimon and began as the Futabayama Sumo Dojo, opened in May 1941 by the 35th yokozuna Futabayama; the stable's own site dates the founding to 1942. A yokozuna is the highest rank in sumo, and an ozeki is the second-highest rank. The 42nd yokozuna Kagamisato Kiyoji and four ozeki belonged to the stable. In the September 2026 tournament it had three sekitori, a sekitori being a wrestler in juryo or the top division.
