Best Answer

A sumo champion (aka: Yokozuna) is dressed in a belt which is removed before matched called also called a "Yokozuna" which literally means horizontal rope and is remarkably similar to the belt known as a "Shimenawa" which is used in the Shinto religion to ward of evil spirits. The rope worn by the champion is very heavy, and upwards of 20+ kilos and is removed before matches. It is worn as a ceremony when entering the ring.
