Toshiyori
A is a sumo elder of the Japan Sumo Association (JSA). Also known as , former wrestlers who reached a sufficiently high rank are the only people eligible. The benefits are considerable, as only ''toshiyori'' are allowed to run and coach in sumo stables, known as ''heya,'' and they are also the only former wrestlers given retirement pay. Process To become an elder, a retiring wrestler must be a Japanese citizen. This regulation dates from September 1976 and was widely thought to be a result of the success of the Hawaiian Takamiyama Daigorō, who had become the first foreign wrestler to win a championship in 1972, and had expressed interest in becoming an elder. Takamiyama ultimately became a Japanese citizen in June 1980 and did become the first foreign-born elder upon his retirement in 1984. Elders must also have fought at least one tournament in the ''san'yaku'' ranks (''komusubi'' and above), or else twenty tournaments in the top ''makuuchi'' division or thirty as a ''sek ...

Makushita
Professional sumo as administered by the Japan Sumo Association is divided into six ranked divisions. Wrestlers are promoted and demoted within and between these divisions based on the merit of their win–loss records in official tournaments. For more information see ''kachi-koshi'' and ''make-koshi''. Wrestlers are also ranked within each division. The higher a wrestler's rank within a division is, the stronger the general level of opponents he will have to face becomes. 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. The divisions, ranked in order of hierarchy from highest to lowest, are as follows: ''Makuuchi'' , or , is the top division. It is fixed at 42 wrestlers who are ranked according to their performance in previous tournaments.

Tsuyuharai
In professional sumo, the ''tsuyuharai'' (Japanese: 露払い, literally "dew sweeper") is one of the two attendants that accompany a ''yokozuna'' when he performs his ''dohyō-iri'' or ring entrance ceremony. The other attendant is called the ''tachimochi''. During the ceremony the ''tsuyuharai'' will precede the ''yokozuna'' into the ring. He will usually be following the ''gyōji'' who leads the three wrestlers, or ''rikishi'' to the ''dohyō''. As the ''yokozuna'' performs the ceremony he will squat on his left hand side. After the ''yokozuna'' has completed his ceremonial dance the ''tsuyuharai'' will once again precede him away from the ''dohyō''. The ''tsuyuharai'' must be a ''makuuchi'' ranked sumo wrestler (or ''rikishi'') and is, if possible, from the same training stable (or ''heya'') as the ''yokozuna.'' If there are no appropriate choices from within the stable then the ''tsuyuharai'' will normally be from another related stable (from the same stable grouping cal ...
