	Sanyaku - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Sanyaku (三役) literally means 'the three ranks' and represents the titleholder, or champion, ranks at the top of the sumo ranking system.
		Wrestlers receive a higher monthly salary and also are entitled to purchase one of the membership shares in the Japan Sumo Association irrespective of the total number of tournaments they have spent in the top makuuchi division.
		Sanyaku wrestlers may be called to represent all the wrestlers on certain occasions.

	Sanyaku - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sanyaku wrestlers may be called to represent all sumo wrestlers on certain occasions.
		Sanyaku ranks are sometimes used to describe positions in other organizations, referring to the top three spots not including the leader.
		Similarly, in municipal governments, Sanyaku ranks are used to describe the governor, the vice governor, and the head of the finance division.

		The doctrine of "sanyaku" expounded in the Lotus Sutra Whenever the Buddha guides the people, without fail, he first discerns the needs and the capacity of the people and considers the time; only then does he proceed to reveal the proper Law (teaching).
		The Doctrine of "Sanyaku" in the Theoretical Teaching of the Lotus Sutra The doctrine of "sanyaku" in the theoretical teaching of the Lotus Sutra is explicated in the Kejoyu ("Parable of the Phantom City") Chapter, the seventh chapter of the Lotus Sutra.
		The Doctrine of "Sanyaku" in the Essential Teaching of the Lotus Sutra In the essential teaching of the Lotus Sutra, the Juryo (sixteenth) Chapter reveals Shakyamuni's first attainment of Buddhahood as the Buddha of the True Effect in the remote past of Gohyaku-jindengo (five hundred dust-particle kalpas).

		Miyabiyama, Tosanoumi, Toki, Takamisakari, Kyokutenho, and Tochinonada are all capable of sticking in the sanyaku, but the pressure must get to them because they spend one basho among the elite, promptly make-koshi, then fall back down to upper-Maegashira only to perform well the next basho and be promoted back up to the sanyaku.
		The upper Maegashira is loaded again with former sanyaku rikishi highlighted by M1 Takamisakari, M1 Tochinonada, and M2 Kyokutenho.
		M6 Kotomitsuki is keen to make another push at the sanyaku, but a fabulous tournament from the bottom of the division is much different than a good tournament from the upper Maegashira.

		There are anywhere from 12 to fifteen ranks of maegashira, depending on promotions from the juryo division, demotions from sanyaku and demotions to juryo.
		For example, an M-2 that has an 8-7 record might only be promoted one level to M-1 for the next tournament.
		An M-14 that wins the yusho could be promoted to the sanyaku rank of komosubi.

	Komusubi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is the lowest rank where achieving a kachikoshi (or majority of wins) is no longer sufficient to guarantee promotion to the next highest level, which is sekiwake.
		For many purposes this and the sekiwake rank are treated together as the junior sanyaku ranks, as opposed to Ozeki and Yokozuna where extremely stringent promotion criteria exist.
		For wrestlers reaching this rank the benefits are a salary increase and also appearing to flank the chairman of the Sumo Association during the speeches he makes on opening and closing days of the fifteen day tournaments that are held six times a year.

	Sumo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Above the Maegashira are the champion or titleholder ranks, called the Sanyaku.
		With the exception of the sanyaku ranked wrestlers the first bouts tend to be between wrestlers who are within a couple of ranks of each other.
		Sanyaku wrestlers also receive a relatively small additional tournament allowance, depending on their rank, and Yokozuna receive an additional allowance every second tournament, associated with the making of a new yokozuna hawser (rope worn around the waist during ceremonies).

	Sumo Info: Sanyaku, etc. (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		But for the sumo fans in modern days, the logic of yokozuna is represented by the word ozeki is hard to accept.
		Traditionally, sanyaku, yakuzumo and yakurikishi are used as virtually the same meaning, but because of the word in sumo/zumo in yakuzumo, the word yakuzumo means more like sumo match involving yakurikishi, particularly the last three matches of a given hon-basho (the three matches after called "kore-yori san-yaku").
		Using the word san-yaku only for komusubi and sekiwake is not accurate use and I don't think it is a good idea, except in the case of promotion and demotion.

	Rikishi Summary - A to H
		I think now he is at his "comfortable" level, and will not see much action as a sanyaku rikishi in the future.
		He should be a sanyaku mainstay for years to come, but he will need a few more techniques to become an ozeki.
		His slide down the rankings has been pretty subtle, but this used to be a guy who faced the sanyaku on a more or less regular basis.

		Akebono’s record in 63 Makunouchi Division basho (58 in sanyaku, 48 as yokozuna) is 566 wins, 198 losses and 181 absences.
		The former college champion had been pushed all the way into the sanyaku on the strength of his 13-2 jun-yusho showing in Fukuoka in which he won all three sansho.
		He managed to stave off a total sanyaku shutout by forcing DEJIMA off the dohyo on day 9 but his ship was already well nigh on the rocks: he also finished 4-11.

		The UNWRITTEN rule is that a rikishi needs to win 33 bouts over three consecutive tournaments from the sanyaku to receive Ozeki promotion, but a an 8-7 record in Kyushu will not get the job done.
		Kyokutenho has the ability to be a sanyaku mainstay, but he seems too content with the status quo.
		Not only does he clobber opponents with tsuppari fueled by his girth, but his profile is a spitting image of a fat man in the moon.

		The drug powder which Saitou tried to sell to Sanosuke in the guise of Fujita Gorou is the Ishida Sanyaku, a formula which had been in Hijikata's family for generations.
		It was used frequently in the Shinsengumi for battle wounds and broken bones.
		In fact, when Hijikata was a child, also son of a farmer (about 11 years old), he was something like Sanosuke, fighting and brawling all day.

		The Teletubbie lovin' one minute man has dominated the Evil Takanonami in the last year, but Kotonowaka is riding a three loss skid.
		Wakanosato is 5-5 but like the Evil One, Wakanosato has already faced all his sanyaku opponents.

	Mike Wesemann's Sumotalk.com Column Archive for the Hatsu Basho 2003
		Takamisakari is strong enough and fights well enough at the belt to become an eventual sanyaku player, but despite his place on the banzuke, his poor eyesight, pre-bout ritual of pummeling himself, and overall awkwardness may always overshadow his sumo.
		The four sanyaku rikishi--Takanowaka, Kotomitsuki, Takanonami, and Wakanosato--are all sitting with identical 4-2 records.
		The sanyaku and first three ranks in Maegashira are top-heavy this basho, so we should have promising matches nearly everyday of the tournament.

		Nagoya Prediction: 10-5 and a shot at sanyaku before the year is out.
		The ability to pull off some wonderful throwing techniques have taken Kotooshu to the level at which he finds himself today – in lower sanyaku and upper makuuchi.
		Be that as it may though, he is still in need of another 20 kilos if he’s going to be able to compete favorably against the division’s senior oshi men on a regular basis.

		In last month's tournament, Asashoryu tied the record for the fastest rise to sumo's sanyaku ranks since the six-tourney system was instituted in 1958.
		Asashoryu reached the sanyaku ranks -- ozeki, sekiwake and komusubi -- in only 15 tournaments.
		The others foreign-born sumotori to reach sanyaku are sekiwake Takamiyama, Konishiki, recently retired grand champion Akebono (Hawaii's Chad Rowan), Musashimaru and fellow Mongolian Kyokushuzan.

		He could have come out intimidated today in the face of Asashoryu and a new promotion to the sanyaku, but he took the initiative from the beginning and exerted a solid effort.
		And rounding out the sanyaku ranks, Sekiwake Kyokutenho was defeated by M3 Tamanoshima who showed excellent patience in the bout.
		In the Sanyaku I like Kyokutenho to make some noise in his second go-around at Sekiwake, if only because he's lost in the shuffle with all the hype surrounding Wakanosato.

		It was then that he met young Kondou and became one of the disciples of Shieikan along with Okita and Inoue.
		Ishida Sanyaku was later on frequently used in Shinsengumi for battle wounds and broken bones.

		The basho day starts early, with maezumo fighting in the morning before the four junior divisions (who only fight on 7 of the 15 days) take to the dohyo (ring).
		While the next division, the juryo are fighting, the crowd begins to build until about 4pm when the dohyoiri (ring-entrance ceremonies) for the highest division - 30 makuuchi rikishi, the sanyaku and yokozuna champions - signal the main bouts of the day.
		The final bouts are always the sanyaku (three levels of champions) and then the yokozuna (grand champions).

	Sumo Fan Magazine
		The Georgian whose younger brother has just entered sumo once stated his desire to become the first European to enter Sanyaku, but was beaten to that goal by Bulgarian Kotooshu.
		That fact notwithstanding though, and considering the decent record he has put on the board against the ozeki in recent basho – sumo wise and statistically; he even beat the yokozuna in July – his desire in getting into the top ranks is far from an unachievable goal.
		At just turned 29, however, I see him accelerating down the incline and towards a period of sanyaku / maegashira mediocrity and elevatorhood – never to challenge again for ozeki, never mind further.

		Sekiwake are Leonishiki and veteran Sanyaku returnee Rannohana.
		Former Yokozuna Yubiquitoyama also makes his Sanyaku return as Komusubi East, with Feginowaka falling from his Ozeki rank for the first time to take the final Sanyaku spot at Komusubi West.
		Falling out of Sanyaku are Rannohana, who was there for just Nagoya '03, and, for the first time ever, former Ozeki Feginowaka, who drops all the way to Maegashira 5 East.

	Re: kore yori Sanyaku ???
		The minimum requirement of Sanyaku is to have two ozeki, two sekiwake and two komusubi.
		Sumo Kyokai could have tornament without yokozuna as it was right before Akebono was promoted to Yokozuna.
		If they have only the minimum number of sanyaku (6), and if two of them got injured, they will have only four yaku-rikishi (sanyaku).

		On shonichi he came burning out of the blocks, putting the torch to the entire lower sanyaku and any high maegashira unfortunate enough to draw a matchup with him.
		The 2001 Haru Basho marked his first stint in the sanyaku, and it would turn out to be a short one.
		His sanyaku appearance (brief as it was) automatically qualifies him to purchase a toshiyori in the future.

		Achieving kachi-koshi on senshuraku were M1 Tochinonada, who will be sanyaku bound again, M8 Kyokushuzan, who again put in just enough to keep a respectable rank, M12 Shimotori, who is struggling to regain his prior form, M13 Wakatoba, who along with Kakizoe successfully debuted as a rookie, and M15 Otukasa, who avoided Juryo demotion.
		Day one was an excellent display of power sumo from most of the sanyaku.
		Musashimaru's condition is unchanged since that debacle in Nagoya, and Kaio has already managed to suffer a muscle tear — by going down the stairs of all things — to weaken his chances of a repeat yusho.

		Lowly ranked Maegashira who score poorly may drop to Juryo thus allowing certain Juryo to move up to the Makunouchi division.
		If a rikishi near the top of Maegashira does well, however, he may be promoted to Sanyaku.
		Sanyaku means the top ranks above maegashira: Komusubi, Sekiwake, Ozeki and Yokozuna.

		In each of the junior divisions and in the sekitori ranks the primary aim is the yusho or championship.
		The yusho race usually boils down to the yokozuna, sanyaku (three ranks of champions) and the odd dark horse.
		If that is out of their grasp, the aim is to have at least a kachikoshi or majority of wins to ensure promotion for the next basho.

		If all men above you have subpar performances, it is possible to float as many as seven or eight steps up with a bare 8-7 record.
		Similarly, a record like 2-13 from the Sanyaku rank of Komusubi often results in a plummet to the bottom of the division, putting the sekitori in danger of demotion to Juryo.
		The gap between the top of Makushita and the bottom of Juryo is huge.

		It is also not given if the Yokozuna is disqualified for using an illegal move (or hansoku).
