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 verity ... we are the poor. This humanity we would claim for ourselves is the legacy, not only of the Enlightenment, but of the thousands and thousands of European peasants and poor townspeople who came here bringing their humanity and their sufferings with them. It is the absence of a stable upper class that is responsible for much of the vulgarity of the American scene. Should we blush before the visitor for this deficiency?”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
