Notes: When the school actually closed is uncertain. The date 1961 is used as that is when Egeta died. When playing professionally, the 2nd through the 16th Inoue were known as Inoue Inseki 井上 因碩 (See iemoto system). The use names shown in the table are from their:
- a) names before becoming the head (2nd to 10th),
- b) retirement names (11th and 12th), or
- c) original family names (13th to 16th).
The head is generally referred to as Inoue (use name) Inseki for distinction.
