Yokozunas are grand-champions of Sumo, and the highest rank achievable.Â
To get this promotion, a wrestler (rikishi) must first get to the second highest rank of Ozeki, and then win two tournaments (called a yusho) back to back or perform the equivalent. There has only been 75 in the history of the sport.
This is a visualization of all the modern Yokozunas (post 1950, following the modern promotion system).
