Tomozuna stable no longer exists under this name: it was renamed Oshima stable effective 1 February 2022, and the former sekiwake Asahitenho became its head as Oshima. According to Japanese Wikipedia, the stable was re-founded in May 1961 by the 8th Tomozuna, the former komusubi Tomoegata, who renamed Takashima stable. Asahitenho took over in June 2017 and became the first Mongolia-born wrestler to head a stable. According to Japanese Wikipedia, the ozeki (the second-highest rank) Kaio Hiroyuki was a disciple of the stable.
