Kise stable (2003)

It was established in its current form in December 2003 by former maegashira and Nihon University amateur champion Higonoumi, who branched off from Mihogaseki stable.

All former members, as well as newcomers Jōkōryu and Sasanoyama (now Daiseiryū [ja]), joined the reconstituted stable.

The 33-year-old won from the bottom-most makuuchi rank of maegashira 17, after spending all but one of the previous 12 tournaments in the jūryō division.
