Day 2 Highlights on NHK:
๐ฏ๐ต Sumo Fact: Yokozuna
The highest rank in sumo is ๆจช็ถฑ (ใใใฅใช / Yokozuna).
The word literally means โhorizontal rope.โ 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 โ they usually retire if they can no longer perform at the highest level.
Would you like to see a Yokozuna compete one day? ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช
