Sandanme
Sandanme (三段目) is the fourth highest division in the professional sumo ranking system of six divisions for wrestlers.
The level represents the first break point in the treatment a wrestler receives as he rises up the ranks. From Sandanme he his allowed a better quality of dress, most notably he no longer needs to wear geta on his feet and can wear a form of overcoat over his yukata. However, the wrestlers are still considered to be in training, receiving only an allowance rather than a salary.
There are typically 200 wrestlers in Sandanme.
