Heya history

Which Sumo beya is the oldest?If I got it right it is closed if the oyakata
quits and does not have a direct successor.So how old is the current
Futagoyama Beya?Was it opened by Wakanohana 1. or did he get it from his
teacher?I nearly have the same question on Kokonoe Beya.Was it opened by
Chiyonoyama?
The German Eurosport commentator once said that Wakanohana will become
Futagoyama Oyakata once he retires.Is that correct?Or will he have to wait
until his father is 65?Someone on the ML also mentioned that Takanohana
might also get Futagoyama Beya.
The commentator also once said that Takatoriki gets Taiho Beya when he
retires.So if he hangs up his Mawashi in March will he get it directly or
will he have to wait until Taiho is too old?
I hope someone can answer my questions.
