Takekuma stable (武隈部屋, Takekuma-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Dewanoumi group of stables. It broke off from Sakaigawa stable by its founder, former ōzeki Gōeidō Gōtarō, and officially opened in February 2022. In May 2022 Nishikawa (now Gōnoyama) became the first member of the stable to be promoted to the jūryō division. As of January 2023, the stable had six wrestlers.
Ring name conventions
Some wrestlers at this stable take ring names or shikona that begin with the character 豪 (read: gō), in deference to the coach and stable's owner, former Gōeidō.
