As of July 2024, the stable had 17 wrestlers.
 
==Ring name conventions==
Some promising wrestlers at this stable (such as Ōnosato or Wakenosato) take ring names or ''[[shikona]]'' that contain the kanji の里 (read "-nosato"), in honor of the founder of the stable, former ''yokozuna'' Kisenosato and his master, former ''yokozuna'' [[Takanosato Toshihide|Takanosato]].
