List Of ōzeki
More than 50 sumo wrestlers have reached the second highest in the sport, the rank of '' ōzeki'', but have failed to rise to the top rank since the modern era of sumo began in 1927 with the merger of the Tokyo and Osaka organizations. By 2020, over 250 wrestlers have been promoted to the rank of ''ōzeki'' throughout the entire history of the sport. Wrestlers who went on to be promoted to ''yokozuna'' are tabulated in the ''list of yokozuna''. The number of top division ''yūshō'' (championships) won by each ''ōzeki'' is also listed. There is no requirement to win a championship before promotion, but a wrestler must usually have won around 33 bouts over three consecutive tournaments. Since 1927, the longest-serving ''ōzeki'' of modern times have been Kaiō and Chiyotaikai who each held the rank for 65 tournaments. With five wins, Kaiō also holds the record for ''yūshō'' won in the modern era by a wrestler to never reach the rank of ''yokozuna''. List * Wrestler held th ...

List Of Yokozuna
This is a list of all sumo wrestlers who have reached the sport's highest rank of ''yokozuna''. It was not recorded on the ''banzuke'' until 1890 and was not officially recognised as sumo's highest rank until 1909. Until then, ''yokozuna'' was merely a licence given to certain '' ōzeki'' to perform the ''dohyō-iri'' ceremony. It was not always the strongest ''ōzeki'' but those with the most influential patrons who were chosen. The first list of ''yokozuna'' (with 17 names in total) was compiled by the 12th ''yokozuna'' Jinmaku Kyūgorō in 1900 but was not regarded as official until 1926 when it was published by the newly formed Japan Sumo Association and updated to 31 names. Since that time, 42 more ''yokozuna'' have been promoted. The Sumo Association have overseen all promotions since Chiyonoyama's in 1951. Two consecutive tournament championships or an "equivalent performance" at ''ōzeki'' level are the minimum requirement for promotion to ''yokozuna'' in modern sumo. The ...
