is a notation used in professional sumo wrestling to record a lower-ranked (maegashira|) wrestler's victory over a yokozuna (sumo)|.

It is believed that the term stems from the usage of the terms (lit: white star) to designate a bout victory, and (black star) to designate a bout defeat. Thus, a "gold star" designates it as a special victory.
