A "yokozuna", however, is introduced after the lower ranked wrestlers and is flanked by two other top division wrestler "assistants". The "dewsweeper" or "tsuyuharai" precedes the "yokozuna", while the "sword bearer" or "tachimochi" follows him into the arena. The sword is a Japanese katana and symbolises the samurai status of the yokozuna. The "tachimochi" will always be the more highly ranked of the assisting wrestlers. As indicated above, during the ceremony the "yokozuna" will wear his "tsuna" around his waist. The ceremonial aprons of all three form a matching set.
