Miyagino stable

Miyagino stable (宮城野部屋, Miyagino-beya) was a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Isegahama ichimon or group of stables. It was founded by the 43rd yokozuna Yoshibayama as Yoshibayama dōjō while he was still an active wrestler, before changing to its current name in 1960. As of January 2023, the stable had 20 wrestlers, with two of them ranked in the second highest professional division.

In March 2024, the Sumo Association closed Miyagino stable in the aftermath of physical abuse by former Miyagino wrestler Hokuseihō and the subsequent punishment of its stablemaster, the 69th yokozuna Hakuhō. Wrestlers and coaches in the stable were transferred to Isegahama stable. Initially closed until further notice, the stable saw its last master resign from the Japan Sumo Association in June 2025, leaving the stable's staff under the responsibility of Isegahama stable.
