Yusho is a term used in sumo wrestling to refer to the championship title awarded to the wrestler who finishes a tournament with the best record. Typically, this means achieving a winning record of at least 13 wins out of 15 matches. The title is highly prestigious and signifies the wrestler's dominance during that specific tournament.
Winning a yusho not only enhances a wrestler's reputation but also can lead to promotions in rank. Wrestlers compete in six major tournaments each year, and each yusho victory contributes to their overall career achievements and legacy in the sport of sumo.
