  Jonokuchi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 injury.
A new wrestler's initial position in the Jonokuchi division is determined by his performance in mae-zumo a sort of entry tournament held among new wrestlers at the time of the grand tournament before they are first ranked.
Jonokuchi is also used as an expression to describe when something has just began.

 Sumo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are six divisions in sumo: Makuuchi (fixed at 42 wrestlers), Juryo (fixed at 28 wrestlers), Makushita (fixed at 120 wrestlers), Sandanme (fixed at 200 wrestlers), Jonidan (approximately 230 wrestlers), and Jonokuchi (approximately 80 wrestlers).
Wrestlers enter Sumo in the lowest Jonokuchi division and, ability permitting, work their way up to the top Makuuchi division.
Only wrestlers in the top two divisions are salaried, and they are called sekitori (to have taken the barrier).

For the first time in many basho, the jonokuchi division was not won by a young and talented fighter making a fine start to his career as a rikishi.
Asahisakari had lost the jonokuchi yusho in a kettei-sen against Dewaotori last May. Takanofuji was a regular in the lower half of makushita division but in January 2004, he injured his right knee and ended up with just one win.
Three deshi were considered to be favourites for this tournament in jonidan division: the Brazilian Takaazuma, formerly at Kinki university; Sugita, the jonokuchi division winner in the Aki basho; and another university graduate, Mizuguchi.

There are six divisions in Sumo: Makuuchi, Juryo, Makushita, Sandanme, Jonidan and Jonokuchi.
Each day is structured such that the highest-ranked contestants are matched up at the end of the day.
Thus wrestling will start in the morning with the Jonokuchi wrestlers, and finish about six o'clock in the evening with bouts involving the Yokozuna.

 Re: [Sumo] The End of Jonokuchi?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
I don't know exactly in what basho it was 130 rikishi, but before going too far it's important to remember that the Haru basho is the basho with the fewest rikishi in it almost every year (if not always).
I believe it will take a few years before the jonokuchi will disappear and hopefully sumo will find a new era of popularity by then.
I think the turn of the decade (which has equalled the transition periods between the different eras of sumo for 50 years or so) usually is a period with low popularity rate.

 The Structure of Sumo
The sixth and final division is Jonokuchi, which consists of approximately 100 rikishi.
When a new rikishi enters professional sumo, he will usually enter the sport at the age of 16 ranked as a low Jonokuchi.
Some aspiring rikishi choose not to become professionals at 16, rather they develop their sumo technique during junior high, high school, and college.

As stated before, each tournament day is made so the highest-ranked contestants are matched up at the culmination of the tournament.

 [Sumo] The End of Jonokuchi?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
As early as a year ago, there were over 130 rikishi in the Jonokuchi ranks.
In addition, unless Mongolian immigration goes through the roof, there is no stopping the trend of more rikishi leaving the Kyokai than can be replaced.
At this rate, we are about another year away from there being enough people in Jonokuchi to have a useful competition.

For Nimala Penitani, Musashimaru's mother, the demolition of Akebono in a clash of Hawaii titans was the culmination of 10 years of hard work that began when her boy, Fiamalu, won the jonokuchi junior division title with a 7-0 record in November 1989.
After going 13-2 in winning his fifth Emperor's Cup, Musashimaru is expected to be promoted to sumo's premier rank of yokozuna.
One of a family of eight children, Musashimaru's first thought upon winning the jonokuchi title in Kyushu almost 10 years ago was to send his bonus money back home -- an act of selflessness which his mother said reflects traditional Hawaiian values.
