Hakkaku stable (?八角部屋, Hakkaku beya?) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Takasago group of stables.
The stable was established on 27 September 1993 by the 61st Yokozuna Hokutoumi Nobuyoshi, who took with him four wrestlers from Kokonoe stable. The stable has so far produced nine sekitori, and three makuuchi wrestlers. As of September 2012 it had 27 wrestlers in total.
Many Hakkaku wrestlers have the kanji 北勝 (pronounced hokuto or hokutō) in their ring name.

Famous quotes containing the word stable:
“Man is not merely the sum of his masks. Behind the shifting face of personality is a hard nugget of self, a genetic gift.... The self is malleable but elastic, snapping back to its original shape like a rubber band. Mental illness is no myth, as some have claimed. It is a disturbance in our sense of possession of a stable inner self that survives its personae.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
