The highest rank in Sumo wrestler, “Yokozuna”. From the inaugural Yokozuna, Akashi Shiganosuke, to the current active 73rd Yokozuna, Terunofuji Haruo, the Japan Sumo Association officially recognizes 73 Yokozuna. However, there are also numerous unofficial Yokozuna not recognized by the Japan Sumo Association, and the status of Yokozuna compared to ranks below Ozeki remains shrouded in mystery.
