Irumagawa stable

Irumagawa stable (入間川部屋, Irumagawa-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Dewanoumi ichimon or group of stables. It was set up in January 1993 by former sekiwake Tochitsukasa, who branched off from Kasugano stable. As of January 2020 it had 8 wrestlers. It has recruited the Ukrainian Sergey Sokolovsky who will make his debut in January 2020, making Ukraine the 24th different foreign country or territory to have a wrestler join professional sumo.[1]

Ring name conventions

Many wrestlers at this stable take ring names or shikona that end with the character 司 (read: tsukasa), meaning boss, in deference to their coach and the stable's owner, the former Tochitsukasa.
