Nishonoseki stable (2021)
Nishonoseki stable is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Nishonoseki group of stables. It broke off from Tagonoura stable by its founder, the 72nd yokozuna Kisenosato, and officially opened in August 2021 as Araiso stable . The name of the stable changed in January 2022 after the Japan Sumo Association approved the changing of Kisenosato's toshiyori from Araiso to Nishonoseki, following the retirement of former ōzeki Wakashimazu.
