		The conventional genealogy of yokozuna begins with Akashi Shiganosuke in the early seventeenth century, but there is no record that such a wrestler ever existed, much less that he was made a yokozuna.
		The institutionalization of the practice in the early twentieth century involved a series of innovations beginning in the late nineteenth century and culminating in the official recognition of the yokozuna as the highest rank in sumo.
		Shortly after the term "yokozuna" entered the banzuke rankings, a private campaign was started to distinguish ozeki with the yokozuna license from those without it.

	Yokozuna Statistics
		Note also, that it was not before 1951, that yokozuna was the only official highest rank in banzuke, before it was actually equal to the ozeki ranks, with some certain "yokozuna-ozekis".
		Note: The first year the title "Yokozuna" appeared in the banzuke was 1890, when this title was given to Nishinoumi I in the May basho.
		It was not before February 1909 when Yokozuna was adopted as the highest rank or "saiko-ichi", but (until 1950) still along with Ozeki, changed from the "highest level" or "saikokyu".

	Beating Japanese wrestlers at their own game / But sumo champ from Mongolia isn't popular with purists
		He is sumo's only reigning "yokozuna," top- ranked in a sport that never has more than four yokozuna at a time, a wrestler many call the best Japan has seen in the postwar era.
		(The yokozuna is accustomed to having people laugh at his jokes.) By contrast, he says, his summers spent on the steppes of Mongolia, sleeping in a tent, herding sheep and riding horses, were just the stuff for nurturing the toughness sumo requires.
		A yokozuna not only performs a ceremonial role of chasing evil spirits from the ring before a fight but is also the master to an entourage of other rikishi.

		Kokonoe oyakata (former yokozuna Chiyonofuji), also on the same program as a commentator, mentioned that the first yusho was always the sweetest and most memorable.
		If he became yokozuna, he would have most likely faltered like recent yokozunas Futahaguro, Onokuni, and Asahifuji and be forced to retire prematurely.
		Since all the yokozuna have retired and no one can meet these standards right now, professional sumo is without a yokozuna for the first time in 62 years.
