Wrestlers are also ranked within each division. The higher a wrestler's rank within a division is, the general level of opponents he will have to face becomes stronger. According to tradition, each rank is further subdivided into East and West, with East being slightly more prestigious, and ranked slightly higher than its West counterpart.

It is fixed at 42 wrestlers who are ranked according to their performance in previous tournaments. At the top of the division are the four ranks of "titleholders", or "champions" called the <i>san'yaku</i>, comprising <i><a href="/wiki/Makuuchi#Yokozuna" title="Makuuchi">yokozuna</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Makuuchi#Ōzeki" title="Makuuchi">ōzeki</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Makuuchi#Sekiwake" title="Makuuchi">sekiwake</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Makuuchi#Komusubi" title="Makuuchi">komusubi</a></i>. There are typically 8–12 wrestlers in these ranks with the remainder, called <i><a href="/wiki/Makuuchi#Maegashira" title="Makuuchi">maegashira</a></i>, ranked in numerical order from 1 downwards. This is the only division that is featured on standard <a href="/wiki/NHK" title="NHK">NHK</a>'s live coverage of sumo tournaments and is broadcast bilingually. The lower divisions are covered only on streaming services like <a href="/wiki/Abema" title="Abema">Abema</a>. </p><p>The name <i><a href="/wiki/Makuuchi" title="Makuuchi">makuuchi</a></i> literally means "inside the curtain", a reference to the early period of professional sumo, when the top ranked <a href="/wiki/Wrestling" title="Wrestling">wrestlers</a> were able to sit in a curtained off area prior to appearing for their bouts. <i>Makuuchi</i> can also refer to the top two divisions <i>makuuchi</i> and <i>jūryō</i> as a whole, as the wrestlers in these divisions are fully salaried professionals as opposed to "in training." </p> <div class="navbox-styles"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1129693374">.mw-parser-output .hlist dl,.mw-parser-output .hlist

lang="ja">十両</span></span>)</span>, is the second highest division, and is fixed at 28 wrestlers. The name literally means "ten <a href="/wiki/Ry%C5%8D" title="Ryō">ryō</a>"', which was at one time the income a wrestler ranked in this division could expect to receive. The official name of the second division is actually <i>jūmaime</i><span style="font-weight: normal"> (<span title="Japanese-language text"><span lang="ja">十枚目</span></span>)</span>, meaning "tenth placing" and can be heard in official announcements and seen in some publications, but within and outside the sumo world it is almost universally known as <i>jūryō</i>. Wrestlers in the <i>jūryō</i> and the <i>makuuchi</i> division above are known as <i><a href="/wiki/Sekitori" title="Sekitori">sekitori</a></i>. <i>Jūryō</i> wrestlers, like those in the top <i>makuuchi</i> division, receive a regular monthly salary as well as other perks associated with having become a <i>sekitori</i>, or a member of the two upper divisions in sumo. Sumo wrestlers ranked in the divisions below <i>jūryō</i> are considered to be in training and receive a small allowance instead of a salary. </p><p><i>Jūryō</i> wrestlers, along with their <i>makuuchi</i> counterparts, are the only professional sumo wrestlers who compete in a full fifteen bouts per official tournament. In the case of injuries with <i>makuuchi</i> wrestlers pulling out, <i>jūryō</i> wrestlers near the top of the division may find themselves in the occasional matchup with a top-division wrestler. Such <i>jūryō</i>-<i>makuuchi</i> matchups are also not uncommon towards the end of a sumo tournament, in order to better establish promotion and relegation of individuals between the two divisions. </p><p>Once a wrestler is promoted to <i>jūryō</i>, he is considered a professional with significant salary and privileges. As such, promotions to <i>jūryō</i> are announced just a few days after a preceding tournament, whereas other rankings are not announced for several weeks. </p> <div class="navbox-styles"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236075235"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1239543626"></div><div role="navigation" class="navbox" aria-labelledby="Active_Jūryō_Rikishi" style="padding:3px"><table class="nowraplinks mw-collapsible {{{state}}} navbox-inner" style="border-spacing:0;background:transparent;color:inherit"><tbody><tr><th scope="col" class="navbox-title" colspan="2"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1239400231"><div class="navbar plainlinks hlist navbar-mini"><ul><li class="nv-view"><a href="/wiki/Template:Active_j%C5%ABry%C5%8D_rikishi" title="Template:Active jūryō rikishi"><abbr title="View this template">v</abbr></a></li><li class="nv-talk"><a href="/wiki/Template_talk:Active_j%C5%ABry%C5%8D_rikishi" title="Template talk:Active jūryō rikishi"><abbr title="Discuss this template">t</abbr></a></li><li class="nv-edit"><a href="/wiki/Special:EditPage/Template:Active_j%C5%ABry%C5%8D_rikishi" title="Special:EditPage/Template:Active jūryō rikishi"><abbr title="Edit this template">e</abbr></a></li></ul></div><div id="Active_Jūryō_Rikishi" style="font-size:114%;margin:0 4em">Active <a href="/wiki/J%C5%ABry%C5%8D" class="mw-redirect" title="Jūryō">Jūryō</a> Rikishi<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></div></th></tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="navbox-list navbox-odd expanded" style="width:100%;padding:0"><div style="padding:0 0.25em"></div><table class="nowraplinks navbox-subgroup" style="border-spacing:0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" class="navbox-list navbox-odd expanded" style="width:100%;padding:0;background:transparent;color:inherit;"><div style="padding:0px"><table class="navbox-columns-table" style="border-spacing: 0px;

Furthermore, it can be regarded as the most heavily contested division, with younger sumo wrestlers on their way up competing with those older sumo wrestlers who have dropped from <i>jūryō</i> and are determined to regain the higher rank. A key incentive is the difference between being ranked in the topmost <i>makushita</i> slot versus the lowest <i>jūryō</i> rank, which has been likened to being that between heaven and hell: a wrestler ranked at <i>makushita</i> or lower is expected to carry out chores for the <a href="/wiki/Heya_(sumo)" title="Heya (sumo)">stable</a> and any <i>sekitori</i> within it, whereas the <i>jūryō</i> wrestler will be served upon. Similarly, the <i>jūryō</i> wrestler receives a comfortable monthly salary, whereas a wrestler below <i>makushita</i> still only receives a small living allowance. </p><p>Winning all seven matches in a tournament grants an unconditional advance to the <i>jūryō</i> division if one is ranked within the top thirty wrestlers of the division. For any other member of the division, a 7–0 record will guarantee promotion to within the top thirty members, so two successive 7–0 records will allow a <i>makushita</i> wrestler to advance to <i>jūryō</i>. </p><p>Those in the uppermost ranks of the division, and thus slated for a possible advancement, may have a match with those in <i>jūryō</i>, either as one of the seven matches they are expected to compete in, or occasionally in addition to the matches they have already had. This eighth match is sometimes required as a result of tournament withdrawals due to injury of <i>sekitori</i>, and is usually given to <i>makushita</i> wrestlers who have achieved a 3–4 or worse record in their regular seven bouts. It is ignored if one loses and counted if one wins, making it a true bonus bout for a <i>makushita</i> wrestler. In such a match-up, the <i>makushita</i> wrestler will have his hair fashioned into a full <i><a href="/wiki/Chonmage" title="Chonmage">oicho-mage</a></i> as <i>sekitori</i> do but continues to wear his plain cotton <i><a href="/wiki/Mawashi" title="Mawashi">mawashi</a></i>. </p><p>The term <i>makushita</i> can also be used to refer to all four divisions as a whole that are below <i>jūryō</i>, as these four divisions are considered wrestlers that are still in training.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

All wrestlers, apart from those who have had successful amateur careers and are given special dispensation to enter <i>makushita</i> or <i>sandanme</i> directly, start in this division. In addition to the new wrestlers, the division tends to consist of other recent recruits to sumo wrestling as well as some older wrestlers who have fallen to the bottom of the ranks due to prolonged injury. </p><p>A new wrestler's initial position in the <i>jonokuchi</i> division is determined by his performance in <i><a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_sumo_terms#maezumō" title="Glossary of sumo terms">maezumō</a></i>, a tournament held among new wrestlers at the time of the grand tournament before they are ranked for the first time. The <i>jonokuchi</i> division varies in size and typically includes between 40 and 90 wrestlers, with the high mark being reached for each May tournament as the number of recruits appearing in <i>maezumō</i> is generally largest during the preceding March tournament, when the Japanese school year ends. As with the other lower divisions, wrestlers only compete in seven bouts over the course of the tournament. <i>Jonokuchi</i> is the only division in which wrestlers are semi-regularly promoted even with a losing record; promotions to the next highest <i>jonidan</i> division with a losing record are especially common for the May tournament when there is the large influx of new recruits. </p><p>The word <i>jonokuchi</i> is also used as an expression to describe when something has just begun. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Professional_sumo_divisions&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_sumo_terms" title="Glossary of sumo terms">Glossary of sumo terms</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/List_of_sumo_tournament_top_division_champions" title="List of sumo tournament top division champions">List of sumo tournament top division champions</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/List_of_sumo_tournament_second_division_champions" title="List of sumo tournament second division champions">List of sumo tournament second division champions</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Professional_sumo_divisions&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1239543626"><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-3"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-3">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite class="citation web cs1 cs1-prop-foreign-lang-source"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.sankei.com/article/20220331-MOMNEAOXKZKPREUL543KUUDBWI/">"三段目を９０枚目まで削減へ力士数減少で"</a> (in Japanese).
