Komusubi

Komusubi (小結) literally means "the little knot", the knot refering to the match up between two wrestlers. It is the fourth highest rank in sumo wrestling and is the lowest of the so called titleholder ranks, or sanyaku.

Before World War Two, there were several instances of komusubi immediately advancing to Ozeki after a nearly winning the tournament but there have been few instances after the war.
