glossary of sumo terms

The following words are terms used in sumo wrestling in Japan.
;''azukari'' (預り): ''Hold''. A kind of draw. After a ''mono-ii'', the ''gyōji'' or the ''shimpan'' "holds" the result if it was too close to call. In 1927, the system was abolished and a ''torinaoshi'' (rematch) now takes place instead.
;''banzuke'' (番付): List of sumo wrestlers according to rank for a particular grand tournament, reflecting changes in rank due to the results of the previous tournament. It is written out in a particular calligraphy (see ''sumō-ji'') and released two weeks prior to the tournament.
;''banzuke-gai'' (番付外): ''Outsider to the list''. A wrestler who is not yet ranked, or has fallen off the ''banzuke'' due to injury or other reason for non-participation.
;''basho'' (場所): ''Venue''. Any sumo tournament. Compare ''honbasho''.
;''binzuke'' (鬢付け): Also called ''binzuke abura'' (''binzuke'' oil). A Japanese pomade, which consists mainly of wax and hardened chamomile oil that is used to style sumo wrestlers' hair and give it its distinctive smell and sheen. It is used exclusively by ''tokoyama'' hairdressers.
;''chankonabe'' (ちゃんこ鍋): A stew commonly eaten in large quantities by sumo wrestlers as part of a weight gain diet. It contains ''dashi'' or stock with sake or ''mirin'' to add flavor. The bulk of chankonabe is made up of large quantities of protein sources, usually chicken, fish (fried and made into balls), tofu, or sometimes beef; and vegetables (daikon, bok choy, etc.).
;''chikara-mizu'' (力水): ''Power-water''. The ladleful of water with which a wrestler will ceremonially rinse out his mouth prior to a bout. It must be handed to him by a wrestler not tainted with a loss on that day, so it is either handed to him by the victorious wrestler of the previous bout if he was on the same side of the ''dohyō'', or if that wrestler was defeated, by the wrestler who will fight in the bout following.
;''chonmage'' (丁髷): Traditional Japanese haircut with a topknot, now only worn by ''rikishi'' and so an easy way to recognize that a man is in the sumo profession.
;''danpatsu-shiki'' (断髪式): Retirement ceremony, held for a top wrestler in the Ryōgoku Kokugikan some months after retirement, in which his ''chonmage,'' or top knot is cut off. A wrestler must have fought as a ''sekitori'' in at least 30 tournaments to qualify for a ceremony at the Kokugikan.
;''dohyō'' (土俵): The ring in which the sumo wrestlers hold their matches, made of a specific clay and spread with sand. A new ''dohyō'' is built prior to each tournament.
;''dohyō-iri'' (土俵入り): Ring-entering ceremony, performed only by the wrestlers in the ''jūryō'' and ''makuuchi'' divisions. The east and west sides perform their ''dohyō-iri'' together, in succession; the ''yokozuna'' have their own individual ''dohyō-iri'' performed separately. The main styles of ''yokozuna dohyō-iri'' are Unryū and Shiranui, named after Unryū Kyūkichi and Shiranui Kōemon. A ''yokozuna'' performs the ceremony with two attendants, the ''tachimochi'' (太刀持ち, sword carrier) and the ''tsuyuharai'' (露払い, dew sweeper).
;''fusenpai'' (不戦敗): A loss by default for not appearing at a scheduled bout. If a wrestler withdraws from the tournament (injury or retirement), one loss by default will be recorded against him on the following day, and simple absence for the remainder.
;''fusenshō'' (不戦勝): A win by default because of the absence of the opponent. The system was established for the ''honbasho'' in the May 1927 tournament. After the issue of Hitachiiwa Eitarō, the system was modified to the modern form. Prior to this, an absence would simply be recorded for both wrestlers, regardless of which one had failed to show.
;''gunbai'' (軍配): A war fan, usually made of wood, used by the ''gyōji'' to signal his instructions and final decision during a bout. Historically, it was used by samurai officers in Japan to communicate commands to their soldiers.
;''gunbai-dori'' (軍配通り): The decision following a ''mono-ii'' affirming the ''gyōji's'' original decision. Literally, "according to the ''gunbai''".
;''gyōji'' (行司): A sumo referee.
;''gyōji gunbai sashichigae'' (行司軍配差し違え): The decision following a ''mono-ii'' reversing the ''gyōji's'' original decision. Literally, "referee pointed the ''gunbai'' incorrectly".
;''hakkeyoi'' (はっけよい): The phrase shouted by a sumo referee during a bout, specifically when the action has stalled and the wrestlers have reached a stand-off. It means, "Put some spirit into it!"
;''hanamichi'' (花道): The two main east and west "paths" leading from the preparation rooms to the ''dohyō''.
;''haridashi'' (張り出し): ''Overhang''. If there are more than two wrestlers at any ''san'yaku'' rank, the additional wrestlers are termed ''haridashi''. Prior to 1995, such wrestlers were listed on the ''banzuke'' in extensions or "overhangs" to the row for ''makuuchi'' wrestlers. This is now an informal designation, since presently all wrestlers are listed within the normal bounds of the row.
;''henka'' (変化): A sidestep to avoid an attack. If done, it is usually at the ''tachi-ai'' to set up a slap-down technique, but this is often regarded as bad sumo and unworthy of higher ranked wrestlers. Some say it is a legitimate "outsmarting" move, and provides a necessary balance to direct force, "henka" meaning "changing; to change".
;''heya'' (部屋): Literally "room", but usually rendered as ''stable''. The establishment where a wrestler trains, and also lives while he is in the lower divisions. It is pronounced ''beya'' in compounds, such as in the name of the stable. (For example, the ''heya'' named ''Sadogatake'' is called ''Sadogatake-beya''.)
;''hikiwake'' (引分): ''A draw''. Though common in early sumo, it is very rare in the modern age.
;''hiwaza'' (非技): ''Non-technique''. A winning situation where the victorious wrestler did not initiate a ''kimarite''. The Japan Sumo Association recognizes five ''hiwaza''. See ''kimarite'' for descriptions.
;''honbasho'' (本場所): A professional sumo tournament, held six times a year in the modern era, where the results affect the wrestlers' rankings.
;''ichimon'' (一門): A group of related ''heya''. There are six groups: Dewanoumi, Nishonoseki, Takasago, Tokitsukaze, Isegahama, and Takanohana. Until 1965, wrestlers from the same ''ichimon'' did not fight each other in tournament competition.
;''jōi-jin'' (上位陣): ''High rankers''. A term loosely used to describe wrestlers who would expect to face a ''yokozuna'' during a tournament. In practice this normally means anyone ranked ''maegashira'' 4 or above.
;''jonidan'' (序二段): The second-lowest division of sumo wrestlers, below ''sandanme'' and above ''jonokuchi''.
;''jonokuchi'' (序の口): An expression meaning ''this is only the beginning''. The lowest division of sumo wrestlers.
; ''jungyō'' (巡業): Regional tours in Japan and sometimes abroad, undertaken between ''honbasho'', during which the wrestlers give exhibition matches.
; ''junyūshō'' (準優勝): An informal designation for a second-place finish in a sumo championship.
;''jūryō'' (十両): ''Ten ryō'', for the original salary of a professional sumo wrestler. The second-highest division of sumo wrestlers, below ''makuuchi'' and above ''makushita'', and the lowest division where the wrestlers receive a salary and full privileges.
; ''kabu'' (株): ''See'' ''toshiyori kabu''.
;''kachi-koshi'' (勝ち越し): More wins than losses for a wrestler in a tournament. This is eight wins for a ''sekitori'' with fifteen bouts in a tournament, and four wins for lower-ranked wrestlers with seven bouts in a tournament. Gaining ''kachi-koshi'' generally results in promotion. The opposite is ''make-koshi''.
;''kadoban'' (角番): An ''ōzeki'' who has suffered ''make-koshi'' in his previous tournament and so will be demoted if he fails to score at least eight wins. The present rules date from July 1969 and there have been over 100 cases of ''kadoban'' ''ōzeki'' since that time.
;''kettei-sen'' (決定戦): A playoff between two or more wrestlers in a division who are tied for the lead on the last day of the tournament.
;''kenshō-kin'' (懸賞金): Prize money based on sponsorship of the bout, awarded to the winner upon the ''gyōjis ''gunbai''. The banners of the sponsors are paraded around the ''dohyō'' prior to the bout, and their names are announced. Half the sponsorship fees go to the Japan Sumo Association, and half to the winner.
;''keshō-mawashi'' (化粧廻し): The loincloth fronted with a heavily decorated apron worn by ''sekitori'' wrestlers for the ''dohyō-iri''. These are very expensive, and are usually paid for by the wrestler's organization of supporters or a commercial sponsor.
;''kimarite'' (決まり手): Winning techniques in a sumo bout, announced by the referee on declaring the winner. The Japan Sumo Association recognizes eighty-two different ''kimarite''.
;''kinboshi'' (金星): ''Gold star''. Awarded to a ''maegashira'' who defeats a ''yokozuna'' during a ''honbasho''. It represents a permanent salary bonus.
;''kinjite'' (禁じ手):''Forbidden hand''. A foul move during a bout, which results in disqualification. Examples include punching, kicking and eye-poking. The only ''kinjite'' likely to be seen these days (usually inadvertently) is hair-pulling.
;''komusubi'' (小結): ''Little knot''. The fourth-highest rank of sumo wrestlers, and the lowest ''san'yaku'' rank.
;''kōshō seido'' (公傷制度):''Public Injury System''. Introduced in 1972, this system allowed a wrestler who had been injured in the ring during a tournament to sit out the next tournament without any effect on his rank. It was controversially abolished at the end of 2003.
;''kuroboshi'' (黒星): ''Black star''. A loss in a sumo bout, recorded with a black circle.
;''kyūjō'' (休場): A wrestler's absence from a ''honbasho'', usually due to injury.
;''maegashira'' (前頭): ''Those ahead''. The fifth-highest rank of sumo wrestlers, and the lowest ''makuuchi'' rank. This rank makes up the bulk of the ''makuuchi'' division, comprising around 30 wrestlers depending on the number in ''san'yaku''. Only the top ranks (''maegashira jō'i'', 前頭上位) normally fight against ''san'yaku'' wrestlers.
;''maezumō'' (前相撲): ''Before sumo''. Unranked sumo wrestlers in their first bouts. Participation in at least one ''maezumō'' bout is required to enter the ''jonokuchi'' division for the following ''honbasho''.
;''make-koshi'' (負け越し): More losses than wins for a wrestler in a tournament. ''Make-koshi'' generally results in demotion, although there are special rules on demotion for ''ōzeki''. The opposite is ''kachi-koshi''.
;''makushita'' (幕下): ''Below the curtain''. The third highest division of sumo wrestlers, below ''jūryō'' and above ''sandanme''. Originally the division right below ''makuuchi'', explaining its name, before ''jūryō'' was split off from it to become the new second highest division.
;''makushita tsukedashi'' (幕下付け出し): A system where an amateur wrestler who has won one of the four major amateur titles is allowed to skip the bottom three divisions and enter pro sumo at the ''makushita'' third highest division at the rank of ''makushita'' 15. In the event of achieving two of these titles in the same year, he can begin at ''makushita'' 10. The original system has existed since the Taishō era, and until 1966 any wrestler who was a university graduate could enter pro sumo at the bottom of ''makushita''. The system was changed in 1966, and from then until 2001 a wrestler who had achieved success as an amateur would begin at the rank of ''makushita'' 60, though the criteria were not as strict as post 2001. (see ''sandanme tsukedashi'')

;''man'in onrei'' (満員御礼): Full house. Banners are unfurled from the ceiling when this is achieved during ''honbasho''.
;''mawashi'' (廻し): The thick-waisted loincloth worn for sumo training and competition. Those of ''sekitori'' wrestlers are white cotton for training and colored silk for competition; lower ranks wear dark cotton for both training and competition.
;''mochikyūkin'' (持ち給金): A system of bonus payments to ''sekitori'' wrestlers.

;''rikishi'' (力士): Literally, ''Powerful man''. The most common term for a professional sumo wrestler, although ''sumōtori'' is sometimes used instead.

;''sandanme tsukedashi'' (三段目付け出し): A system instituted in 2015 where an amateur wrestler finishing in the top 8 of the All-Japan Championships, All Japan Corporate championships, or the National Adults tournament is allowed to skip the bottom three divisions, and start at the bottom of the ''sandanme'' division. (see ''makushita tsukedashi'')
;''sanshō'' (三賞): ''Three prizes''. Special prizes awarded to ''makuuchi'' wrestlers for exceptional performance.
;''san'yaku'' (三役): ''Three ranks''. The "titleholder" ranks at the top of sumo. There are actually 4 ranks in ''san'yaku'': ''yokozuna'', ''ōzeki'', ''sekiwake'' and ''komusubi'', since the ''yokozuna'' is historically an ''ōzeki'' with a license to perform his own ring-entering ceremony. The word is occasionally used to refer only to ''sekiwake'' and ''komusubi''.
;''san'yaku soroibumi'' (三役揃い踏み): Ritual preceding the final three bouts on the final day (''senshūraku'') of a ''honbasho'', where three of the ''san'yaku''-ranked wrestlers from the east and west sides in turn perform ''shiko'' simultaneously.

;''shikona'' (四股名): A wrestler's "fighting or ring name", often a poetic expression which may contain elements specific to the wrestler's ''heya''. Japanese wrestlers frequently do not adopt a ''shikona'' until they reach ''makushita'' or ''jūryō''; foreign wrestlers adopt one on entering the sport. On rare occasions, a wrestler may fight under his original family name for his entire career, such as former ''ōzeki'' Dejima and former ''yokozuna'' Wajima.
