Makuuchi

Makuuchi (幕内) or makunouchi (幕の内) is the top division of the six divisions of professional sumo. Its size is fixed at 42 wrestlers (rikishi), ordered into five ranks according to their ability as defined by their performance in previous tournaments.

This is the only division that is featured on NHK's standard live coverage of sumo tournaments. The lower divisions are shown on their satellite coverage, with only the makuuchi broadcast having bilingual commentary in English.

Makuuchi literally means "inside the curtain", a reference to the early period of professional sumo, when there was a curtained-off area reserved for the top ranked wrestlers to sit before appearing for their bouts.

Wrestlers are considered for promotion or demotion in rank before each grand tournament according to their performance in the one previous. Generally, a greater number of wins than losses (kachi-koshi) results in a promotion, and the reverse (make-koshi) results in demotion. There are stricter criteria for promotion to the top two ranks, which are also privileged when considered for demotion.

    Ballad Of Richard K

    by: Asg

    Keep down by the ones who sat by your side
    Guts blushing on a night shadow lonley pize
    In the house with no home, cut to size
    Hoplessly divided
    I bent down into the knife
    In the path of my foes, left to die
    Visions of the highway
    I bent back into the light
    Well your god won't smile
    And your conscience can't sleep
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    against your sheild
    What if i killed you all
    Would it build me up
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    Ten seconds till the blackout parts with his crime
    Got money don't buy in, dont buy the light
    In the house with no home, cut to size
    Hoplessly divided
    I bent down into the knife
    Well your god won't smile
    And your conscience can't sleep
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    What if i killed you all
    Would it build me up
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    Lay down, got rythem
    Where trying to find it
    On stage like a luminous gunner
    Where trying to find it
    Well your god won't smile
    And your conscience can' sleep
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    What if i killed you all
    Would it build me up
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
