As of January 2025, a total of 74 sumo wrestlers have earned the rank of yokozuna; considering that formal record-keeping only began with Tanikaze Kajinosuke and Onogawa Kisaburo in 1789, this roughly averages out to one every three years.
The championship is determined by the wrestler with the highest win–loss score after fifteen bouts, held at a rate of one per day over the duration of the 15-day tournament. In the event of a tie a play-off is held between the wrestlers concerned. [2] Names in bold mark an undefeated victory (a zenshō-yūshō).
