List of sumo beya
The following is an alphabetical list of heya or training stables in professional sumo. Each belongs to one of five ichimon or groups.[1] The founding dates listed below are for the current incarnation of each stable; in most cases this is not the first stable to exist under a given name, however.
The number of stables peaked at 54 with the opening of Onoe stable in August 2006, following which the Japan Sumo Association introduced new rules that September greatly raising the qualifications needed by ex–wrestlers wishing to branch out (namely, those ranked below yokozuna or ozeki must have spent at least 60 tournaments in the top makuuchi division or 25 in the titled sanyaku ranks). Discounting the special circumstances of the closure and re–opening of the Kise stable, there have been no new heya established since then, while six (Isegahama, Arasio, Kiriyama, Takashima, Tagonoura and Oshima) have folded, bringing the number of active heya down to 48 as of April 2012. This number is expected to fall to 47 with the imminent closure of the Hanakago stable.
