Urakaze stable
浦風部屋
Urakaze stable no longer exists: it closed for the last time in May 1962, and no successor or merger is stated. Earlier closures were in 1903, 1930 and 1941. The Urakaze name is still held (17th holder Shikishima since 2013), but there is no stable under it. According to Japanese Wikipedia, Taroyama Yukichi, the 11th holder of the name, ran the stable twice and held the name until his death in December 1964. The same source lists Raiden Tameemon, an ozeki (the second-highest rank), and Shiranui Dakuemon, a yokozuna (the highest rank in sumo), as belonging to it.
