The {{nihongo|'''Oitekaze stable'''|追手風部屋|Oitekaze-beya}} is a [stable](/source/Heya_(sumo)) of sumo wrestlers, part of the Tokitsukaze ''[ichimon](/source/Glossary_of_sumo_terms)'' or group of stables. It was established in its modern incarnation on 1 October 1998 by former ''[maegashira](/source/maegashira)'' [Daishōyama](/source/Daish%C5%8Dyama_Naoki), who is the stable's current head coach. He had married the daughter of the previous Oitekaze-''oyakata'' and branched off from [Tomozuna stable](/source/Tomozuna_stable), taking some wrestlers with him including future ''[sekitori](/source/sekitori)'' [Hayateumi](/source/Hayateumi) and {{interlanguage link multi|Daishōyama Tsuyoshi|ja|3=大翔大豪志|lt=Daishōdai}}.[{{cite web|author=Harumi Hotta|title=Interview of Tomozuna oyakata|publisher=Le Monde du Sumo|url=http://www.lemondedusumo.com/english/MDS15_interview_tomozuna.php?mag=mds&num=15|date=April 2006|accessdate=2008-05-25}}] As of January 2023, it had 18 wrestlers, of which seven were ''sekitori''. As of 2019, eight wrestlers in the stable's history have reached the top ''[makuuchi](/source/makuuchi)'' division.[{{cite web|url=http://www.sumo.or.jp/EnHonbashoTopics/banzuke_topics/|title=2017 November Grand Sumo Tournament Banzuke Topics|date=October 2017|publisher=Japan Sumo Association|accessdate=30 October 2017|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171030162158/http://www.sumo.or.jp/EnHonbashoTopics/banzuke_topics/|archivedate=30 October 2017}}]
In [December 2016](/source/2016_in_sumo), the stable moved from the Isegahama ''ichimon'' to the Tokitsukaze ''ichimon''.
In [April 2024](/source/2024_in_sumo), coach [Tatsutayama](/source/Sassh%C5%ABnada_Yasutaka) transferred from the former [Michinoku stable](/source/Michinoku_stable), following the latter's closure after the retirement of former [Kirishima](/source/Kirishima_Kazuhiro).[{{cite web |url=https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20240328/k10014405431000.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240328093741/https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20240328/k10014405431000.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 28, 2024|title=大相撲 親方定年で陸奥部屋閉鎖 大関 霧島が音羽山部屋に移籍|date=28 March 2024|publisher=NHK|access-date=28 March 2024}}]
==Ring name conventions==
Many wrestlers at this stable take ring names or ''[shikona](/source/shikona)'' that begin with the characters 大翔 (read: daishō) or simply 大 (read: dai), in deference to their coach and the stable's owner, the former Daishōyama.
