Izutsu stable
After Chiyonoyama died in 1977, Kitanofuji, who had already revived Izutsu stable, became the 11th Kokonoe-oyakata. He raised Chiyonofuji, then a "makuuchi" wrestler, to the great "yokozuna" he became. Later he also saw Hokutoumi become a "yokozuna". Takanofuji and Fujinoshin also reached the top division.
