Miyagino stable

Kanechika was able to take control of the stable because he married one of the daughters of the 9th Miyagino's widow, who owned the toshiyori name, which Chikubayama was only borrowing, and was adopted by her as her son.

Chikubayama, who had guided future yokozuna Hakuhō to the top division, was able to stay on as a coach in the stable by acquiring the Kumagatani name.

[3][4] However, in December 2010 he regained control of the Miyagino name and stable after Kanechika was disciplined by the Sumo Association for being caught on tape discussing match-fixing.

[9] The stable has strong links to Tottori Jōhoku High School's sumo program, with Hakuōhō, Hokuseihō and Ishiura all being graduates.

[11] As he was raised in Hokkaido from the age of five, Miyagino was allowed to circumvent the Sumo Association's "one foreigner per stable" rule.

[21] Hakuhō was demoted from iin (committee member) to the lowest ranking of toshiyori (elder) and received a salary cut of 20 percent for three months.

[23] Following the release of the March 2024 banzuke it was announced that Tamagaki (former komusubi Tomonohana), a coach at Ōshima stable, would be appointed acting master.

[25] On the first day of the March tournament the Isegahama ichimon submitted a proposal to the Sumo Association to close Miyagino stable from April 2024 and possibly revive it again in the future.

[29][30] Public broadcaster NHK reported after the March tournament that a proposal had been put forward to move Miyagino personnel to Isegahama stable, led by the 63rd yokozuna Asahifuji.

[35] Following the May 2024 tournament it was announced that four lower-division wrestlers that began their professional careers with Miyagino stable (and were subsequently transferred to Isegahama) had all decided to retire.

[36] Many wrestlers at this stable take ring names or shikona that contains the character 鵬 (read: hō), meaning peng, in honor of the 69th yokozuna and current stablemaster Hakuhō Shō.
