Onoe stable (尾上部屋, Onoe-beya?) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Dewanoumi group of stables. It was established in August 2006 by former komusubi Hamanoshima, who branched off from Mihogaseki stable and took several of its leading wrestlers with him. As of November 2007, it had 8 wrestlers, half of whom were ranked as sekitori (in the top two divisions).
In 2011 three of its senior rikishi (juryo ranked Sakaizawa, former maegashira Yamamotoyama and former juryo Shirononami) were forced to retire after being found guilty by the Sumo Association of match-fixing.

Famous quotes containing the word stable:
“In short, no association or alliance can be happy or stable without me. People can’t long tolerate a ruler, nor can a master his servant, a maid her mistress, a teacher his pupil, a friend his friend nor a wife her husband, a landlord his tenant, a soldier his comrade nor a party-goer his companion, unless they sometimes have illusions about each other, make use of flattery, and have the sense to turn a blind eye and sweeten life for themselves with the honey of folly.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
