is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Takasago group of stables. It was formed in 1967 and is located in Ishiwara, Sumida, Tokyo. As of January 2012 it had 15 sumo wrestlers. ==History== Former ''yokozuna'' Chiyonoyama Masanobu of Dewanoumi stable had wanted to succeed to the Dewanoumi name, but the then Dewanoumi-oyakata (former wrestler Dewanohana) had already decided to pass the name to former ''yokozuna'' Sadanoyama Shinmatsu. Accordingly, in January 1967, he set up his own stable, taking with him, amongst others, then ''ōzeki'' Kitanofuji Katsuaki and attaching the new stable to the Takasago group of stables. After Chiyonoyama died in 1977, Kitanofuji, who had already revived Izutsu stable, became the 11th Kokonoe-oyakata. He raised Chiyonofuji Mitsugu, then a ''makuuchi'' wrestler, to the great ''yokozuna'' he became. Later he also saw Hokutoumi become a ''yokozuna''. Takanofuji and Fujinoshin also reached the top division. In 1992, the year after Chiyonofuji retired from the ring, Kitanofuji handed over the stable to him. Chiyonofuji and Kitanofuji swapped names, Chiyonofuji becoming Kokonoe-oyakata and gaining control of the stable, whilst Kitanofuji became Jinmaku-oyakata, attached to Hakkaku stable, set up by the former Hokutoumi in 1993. In the early 1990s Kokonoe stable was one of the largest in sumo but had only one ''sekitori'', Tomoefuji. Kokonoe eventually produced Chiyotenzan, briefly a ''komusubi'' in 1999, and long serving ''ōzeki'' Chiyotaikai (1999–2009). Following the retirements of Chiyotaikai in January 2010 and Chiyohakuho in April 2011, the stable had no sekitori for a short time, but Chiyonokuni reached ''jūryō'' in July 2011 and the top division in January 2012. Chiyotairyū followed afterwards and reached ''makuuchi'' in May 2012. By March 2014, Kokonoe stable was one of the most successful stables in sumo, with three men (Chiyotairyū, Chiyoōtori and Chiyomaru) in the top division and two (Chiyonokuni and Chiyo-o) in ''jūryō''. Since the current ''oyakata'' inherited Kokonoe stable every wrestler with a formal ''shikona'' has been given the prefix "Chiyo". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kokonoe stable」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
