Sadogatake stable
is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Nishonoseki group of stables. In its modern form it dates from March 1987 when it was founded by Kotokaze, a former Sadogatake stable wrestler. The first wrestler from the stable to achieve "sekitori" status was Tomikaze in July 2000. Initially the stable had a policy of not accepting foreign born wrestlers or college recruits, but this was waived when Chuo University graduate Takekaze personally asked to join in 2002. Their first foreigner was the Mongolian Hoshikaze, who joined in the same year and eventually reached "jūryō" but was thrown out of sumo after the 2011 match-fixing scandal. The stable absorbed Oshiogawa stable in 2005 ahead of the retirement of Oshiogawa-"oyakata", with Wakakirin and Wakatoba among the wrestlers transferring over. As of January 2021, it has 15 wrestlers. The stable has produced seven "makuuchi" or top division wrestlers since its founding - Takekaze, Yoshikaze, Wakakirin, Kimikaze, Amakaze, Yago and Tomokaze.
