Minato stable

Minato-oyakata studied at the Tokyo University of Agriculture, and due to his interest in academia his stable was the first to introduce a library on its premises.

[1] Until the arrival of Ichinojō, the stable had produced just one makuuchi division wrestler, Minatofuji, who reached a highest rank of maegashira 2 in 1995 and later became a coach at the stable under the name Tatsutagawa.

In the same month the Chinese wrestler Nakanokuni earned promotion to the jūryō division.

In December 2017 Minato-oyakata left the Tokitsukaze ichimon, leaving the stable unaffiliated to any group.
