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:
“My whole working philosophy is that the only stable happiness for mankind is that it shall live married in blessed union to woman-kind—intimacy, physical and psychical between a man and his wife. I wish to add that my state of bliss is by no means perfect.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
