Tagonoura stable (田子ノ浦部屋, Tagonoura-beya?) was a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Dewanoumi ichimon or group of stables. It was established in February 2000 by former maegashira Kushimaumi, who branched off from Dewanoumi stable. It was located in the Koto ward of Tokyo. As of 2012 it had eight sumo wrestlers, the most senior of whom was Bulgarian Aoiyama Kosuke (Daniel Ivanov) who reached the rank of West Maegashira #7 in the January 2012 banzuke.
Following the death of Tagonoura Oyakata in February 2012 the stable was dissolved, with half the wrestlers going to Dewanoumi stable and the other half, including Aoiyama, going to Kasugano stable.

Famous quotes containing the word stable:
“If, then, this civilization is to be saved, if it is not to be submerged by centuries of barbarism, but to secure the treasures of its inheritance on new and more stable foundations, there is indeed need for those now living fully to realize how far the decay has already progressed.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
