Every time a yokozuna performs the traditional ring-entering ceremony, he is flanked by two attendants.
They are the tachimochi (sword bearer) and tsuyuharai (dew sweeper).
The tachimochi is normally the higher ranked of the two, but both must be makuuchi-division wrestlers, and if possible, from the same stable as the yokozuna.
