The is a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Dewanoumi or group of stables. It is an off-shoot of the better known stable of the same name set up by former Mienoumi in 1981, which is currently known as Fujishima stable. Former Musashimaru branched off from that stable in April 2013 after taking on the elder name of his former head coach and started a new stable using the Musashigawa name. It is located in the same building as the defunct Nakamura stable.
Musashigawa stable is the second stable in sumo history to be founded by a foreign-born former sumo wrestler after Takamiyama's Azumazeki stable. The head coach's nephew, Fiamalu Penitani, was a wrestler at the stable under the of Musashikuni, reaching the division, but he retired in 2019 due to injury problems. The stable was also home to the half Japanese, half African-American wrestler Ichiro Young (Wakaichiro). Musashigawa stable began with just four wrestlers, but had expanded to 19 by May 2019.
As of May 2026, the stable has 14 active wrestlers.
