中文释义

英文释义

名词 n.
  1. The highest rank of sumo wrestler, above ozeki; grand champion.
    — A yokozuna is the very highest rank in sumo – “just like Mameha's position in Gion,” as Nobu explained it to me. I had no reason to doubt him; but if Mameha ever took half as much time entering a party as these yokozuna took entering the ring, she'd certainly never be invited back.
  2. A person holding the rank, either competing at the rank or retired after having achieved it.
    — What mattered most was that, from the very top of the Nihon Sumo Kyōkai, Yokozuna Akebono had been shown respect.
