List of yokozuna#42

{{Short description|none}}

{{Italic title|noerror|string=yokozuna|all=yes}}

{{transl|ja|Yokozuna}} is the highest rank of sumo wrestling. It was not recorded on the {{transl|ja|banzuke}} until 1890 and was not officially recognised as sumo's highest rank until 1909. Until then, {{transl|ja|yokozuna}} was merely a licence given to certain {{transl|ja|ōzeki}} to perform the {{transl|ja|dohyō-iri}} ceremony. It was not always the strongest {{transl|ja|ōzeki}} but those with the most influential patrons who were chosen.

The first list of {{transl|ja|yokozuna}} (with 17 names in total) was compiled by the 12th {{transl|ja|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, 43 more {{transl|ja|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 {{transl|ja|ōzeki}} level are the minimum requirement for promotion to {{transl|ja|yokozuna}} in modern sumo.

The longest serving {{transl|ja|yokozuna}} ever was Hakuhō, who was promoted in 2007 and retired in 2021.{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-58705596 |title=Hakuho: Sumo wrestling's greatest champion retires |access-date=2021-09-27}}

The number of top division championships won by each {{transl|ja|yokozuna}} is also listed. Those listed for {{transl|ja|yokozuna}} active before the summer tournament of 1909 are historically conferred from the win–loss records of the time as no system of championships existed up to this time.

The first {{transl|ja|yokozuna}}, Akashi Shiganosuke, was awarded the title posthumously, and little is known about the careers of Ayagawa Gorōji and Maruyama Gondazaemon. The 21st yokozuna Wakashima, the 23rd Okido, the 28th Ōnishiki Daigorō and the 29th Miyagiyama competed in the rival Osaka based sumo organisation and were initially given licences by the House of Gojo. The date given is their official acceptance by the Tokyo House.}} !! rowspan=2|Retired !! rowspan=2|Ring-entering
