The Tate-Shōsū (Deshi:縦小数 lit. Denominated Few) is the de-facto absolute government that rules over Dohyo no Deshi. Lead by the Yokozuna and comprised solely of members in the upper echelons of the Sumo Class, they exhibit complete control over the territory despite the presence of the Imperial Court of Rho.
Yokozuna
For full article, see Yokozuna
Yokozuna is the highest rank in the Sumo Class and the highest office of the Tate-Shōsū in Dohyo no Deshi as the de facto ruler of the country. The Yokozuna acts as the ceremonial leader of Dohyo society within the civil space. He is defined as "the symbol of the ring and of the strength of the people." Due to the kraterocractic nature of sumo society, like most of the upper ranks the only way one achieves the esteemed office of Yokozuna is to unseat the current Yokozuna. Due to this the average tenure of a Yokozuna rarely exceeds 15 years. However, unlike the rest of the ranks, the Yokozuna does not have compete regularly in order to maintain the rank and instead only when challenged which may be done from anyone at a San'yaku position or higher at any time.
