Language Insights

  • In professional sumo, sanyaku refers collectively to the upper ranks below yokozuna: ozeki, sekiwake, and komusubi. Yokozuna is also often included when discussing the salaried ranking hierarchy.
  • East and west are ranking sides, not the wrestlers' places of origin. At the same named rank, the east-side wrestler is generally placed slightly above the west-side wrestler.
  • A record of more wins than losses in a tournament is called kachikoshi. It is central to promotion, while more losses than wins generally leads to demotion.
