Description Available in:
Tomozuna stable (友綱部屋, Tomozuna-beya) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Isegahama ichimon or group of stables. It has a long and prestigious history. The current Tomozuna stable was established in January 1961 by former komusubi Tomoegata. As of January 2020, it has 11 wrestlers.

In April 2012, the stable absorbed seven wrestlers from Ōshima stable, due to Ōshima-oyakata reaching the mandatory retirement age of 65. Among the wrestlers who transferred was former sekiwake Kyokutenhō, who one month later won his first yūshō (or tournament) for his new stable. In February 2014, former ōzeki Kaiō branched off and formed Asakayama stable, taking two wrestlers from Tomozuna with him. In June 2017, Kyokutenhō became the 11th Tomozuna's owner, and the first Mongolian born wrestler to take charge of a stable. He had retired two years earlier and inherited the Ōshima name, but rather than re-establish Ōshima stable, he chose to keep the Tomozuna name by swapping elder names with the previous head coach (former sekiwake Kaiki) upon the latter reaching 65 years of age.
