Araiso stable

Araiso stable (荒磯部屋, Araiso-beya) (1993–2008) was a sumo stable of the Nishonoseki group.

Spanning 15 years and 92 tournaments, the stable was home to a total of 13 wrestlers, of which none were able to reach salaried rank, with two climbing as high as mid-makushita, the third highest division.[1]

It was established in July 1993 by former komusubi Futagodake, a coach since 1976, and two wrestlers branching out from Futagoyama stable, and closed after the September 2008 tournament.[2][3] Futagodake who was due to reach the mandatory retirement age of 65, then briefly worked at Matsugane stable until his official departure in November 2008.[4]

At the stable's dissolution, two of the three remaining low-ranking wrestlers chose retirement over being transferred to a different stable.[5] Only makushita-ranked Arawashi continued his career, first at Hanakago stable, until their closure in May 2012, then at Minezaki stable, where he established himself as a late-blooming maegashira before retiring in January 2020.[6]
