What is the difference between the Sekiwake and Komusubi ranks and how a rikishi is promoted to those ranks? Is it based on the record of high achieving Maegashira rikishi from the previous tourney? I remember from this recent basho how the play callers said Endo was surely to be promoted to either of these ranks. I understand the other Makuuchi division ranks but I was puzzled with these two. Thank you for any information you have to offer.</p></blockquote><p></p>
