Miyagino stable
In August 2004 former "jūryō" division wrestler Kanechika took over in controversial circumstances from former "maegashira" Chikubayama, who had been in charge since 1989. Unusually, the new stablemaster was from a different "ichimon" (Kanechika belonged to Kitanoumi stable, part of the Dewanoumi "ichimon", in his days as an active wrestler). 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. 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. As of January 2021, the stable had 16 wrestlers. In March 2020 the stable recruited, on Hakuho's recommendation, a 2 meter tall Mongolian born wrestler named Hokuseihō. He was raised in Hokkaido from the age of five, allowing Miyagino to circumvent the Sumo Association's one foreigner per stable rule. He  won consecutive championships in the second half of 2020 with perfect records in the "jonokuchi", "jonidan" and "sandanme" divisions. In July 2021 he won the "makushita" championship and was promoted to "jūryō". Miyagino stable missed two tournaments in 2021 due to outbreaks of COVID-19. The stable withdrew from the January "basho" after Hakuhō tested positive, and from the September "basho" after Hokuseihō and another lower-division wrestler tested positive. Location and access.
