Nakamura stable (1986–2013)

It was established in its modern incarnation in May 1986 by Fujizakura of the Takasago stable.

The stable's first sekitori was Saigo [ja] in November 1995.

The stable had a policy of not recruiting foreigners or former collegiate competitors.

However, he did allow his wrestlers to take high school correspondence courses over the internet.

[1] The former Fujizakura reached the mandatory retirement age of 65 early in 2013 and as there was no successor available, the stable closed in December 2012 with five of its remaining wrestlers, including former jūryō Hishofuji, transferring to Azumazeki stable, and the other two retiring.
