Tomozuna stable
Kyokudozan subsequently moved to Osaka, where he set up a business, running a health food company. He was also involved in local politics in the area. In 2008 he attended the retirement ceremony of former stablemate Kyokutenzan. He also occasionally commentates on sumo broadcasts. His younger brother remains in sumo, as a "gyōji" or referee, and is known as Kimura Hisanosuke. He is affiliated to Tomozuna stable (where all Ōshima stable personnel moved to upon its closure) and referees at "makuuchi" level.
