π―π΅ Sumo Fact: Yokozuna
The highest rank in sumo is ζ¨ͺηΆ± (γγγ₯γͺ / Yokozuna).
The word literally means βhorizontal rope.β It refers to the large rope belt worn by Yokozuna during the ring entrance ceremony.
Becoming a Yokozuna is extremely difficult. A wrestler must show not only strength and consistent victories, but also dignity and good character.
Once promoted, a Yokozuna cannot be demoted β they usually retire if they can no longer perform at the highest level.
Would you like to see a Yokozuna compete one day? π―π΅πͺ
