Yokozuna (横綱) is the highest rank in sumo Wrestling. The name comes from the most visible symbol of their rank, the wide (yoko) rope (tsuna) worn around the waist. The rope bears a marked similarity to the Shinto shimekazari rope often attached to torii temple gates and sacred trees, and like them serves to purify and mark off its content. The rope, which may weigh up to 20 kilograms, is not used during the matches themselves, but is worn during the yokozuna's dohyo-iri ring entrance ceremony.

The highest ranking is Yokozuna. There are ten ranks in sumo wrestling. Some of the ranks are divided up into divisions. The lowest rank is Jonokuchi. It takes many years to move up the ranks.
