Kimarite
''Kimarite'' ( ja, 決まり手) is the technique used in sumo by a ''rikishi'' (wrestler) to win a match. It is officially decided or announced by the ''gyōji'' (referee) at the end of the match, though judges can modify this decision. The records of ''kimarite'' are then kept for statistical purposes. The Japan Sumo Association (JSA) have officially recognized 82 such techniques since 2001, with five also recognized as winning non-techniques. However, only about a dozen of these are frequently and regularly used by ''rikishi''. A sumo match can still be won even without a ''kimarite'', by the virtue of disqualification due to a ''kinjite'' (foul), such as striking with closed fist. Basic The basic techniques ( ja, 基本技, kihonwaza) are some of the most common winning techniques in sumo, with the exception of ''abisetaoshi''. ''Abisetaoshi'' is a rarely used basic ''kimarite'' that pushes down the opponent into the ground back-first by leaning forward while grappl ...

COVID-19
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by a virus, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Nishonoseki Stable (2014)
, formerly known as Matsugane stable and Nishonoseki stable, is a stable of sumo wrestlers. It was founded in 1990 as Matsugane stable by Wakashimazu who branched out from the Futagoyama stable. It has produced five top ''makuuchi'' division wrestlers; (2000), Wakatsutomu (2001), Harunoyama (2004), Shōhōzan (2011) and Ichiyamamoto (2021). After the retirement of Harunoyama in November 2006 the stable had no ''sekitori'' until Shōhōzan (then known as Matsutani) reached the ''jūryō'' division in March 2010. As of January 2023 it had 8 wrestlers. In late 2014, the general consensus among those with connections to the Nishonoseki ''ichimon'' was that an ''ichimon'' so named without a Nishonoseki stable as its head was a misnomer. In accordance with this general opinion, the ''oyakata'' of Matsugane stable, which had absorbed support personnel from the defunct Nishonoseki when it closed, decided to revive the name. He switched his Matsugane elder name with the former Tama ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Makuuchi
, or , is the top division of the six divisions of professional sumo. Its size is fixed at 42 wrestlers (''rikishi''), ordered into five ranks according to their ability as defined by their performance in previous tournaments. This is the only division that is featured on NHK's standard live coverage of sumo tournaments. The lower divisions are shown on their satellite coverage, with only the ''makuuchi'' broadcast having bilingual English commentary. ''Makuuchi'' literally means "inside the curtain", a reference to the early period of professional sumo, when there was a curtained-off area reserved for the top ranked wrestlers, to sit before appearing for their bouts. Wrestlers are considered for promotion or demotion in rank before each grand tournament according to their performance in the one previous. Generally, a greater number of wins than losses (''kachi-koshi'') results in a promotion, and the reverse (''make-koshi'') results in demotion. There are stricter criteria ...

Toshiyori
A is a sumo elder of the Japan Sumo Association (JSA). Also known as , former wrestlers who reached a sufficiently high rank are the only people eligible. The benefits are considerable, as only ''toshiyori'' are allowed to run and coach in sumo stables, known as ''heya,'' and they are also the only former wrestlers given retirement pay. Process To become an elder, a retiring wrestler must be a Japanese citizen. This regulation dates from September 1976 and was widely thought to be a result of the success of the Hawaiian Takamiyama Daigorō, who had become the first foreign wrestler to win a championship in 1972, and had expressed interest in becoming an elder. Takamiyama ultimately became a Japanese citizen in June 1980 and did become the first foreign-born elder upon his retirement in 1984. Elders must also have fought at least one tournament in the ''san'yaku'' ranks (''komusubi'' and above), or else twenty tournaments in the top ''makuuchi'' division or thirty as a ''sek ...
