A Yokozuna is the highest rank in professional sumo wrestling, a traditional Japanese sport. This title is awarded to wrestlers who demonstrate exceptional skill, strength, and performance. To achieve the rank of Yokozuna, a wrestler must consistently win matches and display a high level of technique and sportsmanship.
Yokozuna are expected to uphold the traditions and values of sumo, including rituals and ceremonies. They wear a distinctive kesho-mawashi, a ceremonial belt, during official events. The rank is not only a mark of achievement but also comes with significant responsibilities, including serving as a role model for younger wrestlers.
