is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Nishonoseki group of stables. It broke off from Tagonoura stable by its founder, the 72nd yokozuna Kisenosato, and officially opened in August 2021 as . The name of the stable changed in January 2022 after the Japan Sumo Association approved the changing of Kisenosato's toshiyori (elder name) from Araiso to Nishonoseki, following the retirement of former à Âzeki Wakashimazu basically reforming the stable in a new location.
During the January 2019 tournament 72nd yokozuna Kisenosato, who had retired from sumo wrestling and assumed the name Araiso, left Tagonoura stable, where he had been working as a stable elder, establishing his own stable with four other wrestlers and one referee that he took with him. At first the stable was called "Araiso stable," but in December 2021, Araiso exchanged retirement names with Nishonoseki (the former ozeki Wakashimazu), and the stable was renamed "Nishonoseki stable."
That same month, the newly renamed Nishonoseki recruited an 18-year-old student from his hometown Ibaraki Prefecture's Ushiku Senior High School, whom he had spotted while frequenting the school's sumo club. In March 2022 the stable recruited a pair of identical twins, Hayashiryà « and Rinko, from the same Nagano sumo club as former à Âzeki Mitakeumi. In March 2023 the stable also announced the recruitment of 22-year-old amateur yokozuna Daiki Nakamura, a graduate of Nippon Sport Science University. Defined as "the most eagerly awaited prospect to come out of collegiate sumo in decades," NakamuraâÂÂwho took the shikona "à Ânosato"âÂÂbegan his professional career at the rank of makushita 10 via the makushita tsukedashi system.
Nakamura-oyakata (former sekiwake Yoshikaze) moved to the stable after the January 2022 tournament, due to the closure of his own Oguruma stable, and brought former maegashira Tomokaze with him. Tomokaze was promoted back to jà «ryà  following the January 2023 tournament, becoming the stable's first sekitori.
à Ânosato was promoted to jà «ryà  in July 2023 along with another lower-division wrestler, Takahashi. They are the first two recruited by Kisenosato to become sekitori. In May 2024, one year after his debut, à Ânosato won his first championship in the top division. Following in the footsteps of his stablemaster, à Ânosato was promoted to the rank of in May 2025. He was promoted to the top rank after a record 13 tournaments, and became the first wrestler in history to post winning records in all of their tournaments leading to promotion.
Shortly after the May 2024 tournament the former Yoshikaze branched off from Nishonoseki to form his own stable, Nakamura stable.
As of July 2024, the stable had 17 wrestlers.
Some promising wrestlers at this stable (such as à Ânosato or Wakenosato) take ring names or shikona that contain the kanji ã®é (read "-nosato"), in honor of the stable's founder, former Kisenosato and his master, former Takanosato.
