is an unconventional sumo wrestling technique, which involves a wrestler clapping his hands together in front of his opponent's face at the ''tachi-ai'' (start of the bout). The aim of this technique is to cause the opponent to close his eyes briefly, allowing the instigator to gain the advantage. ''Nekodamashi'' requires there to be a fair amount of space between the wrestlers at the ''tachi-ai''. Using the technique is also a gamble: if it miscarries, it leaves the wrestler wide open to his opponent's attack. ''Nekodamashi'' is not listed as a ''kimarite'' (winning technique); even in the unlikely situation that a wrestler is so surprised by a ''nekodamashi'' that he falls over, the winning technique is simply recorded as ''hiwaza'' (non-technique victory). Famous sumo wrestlers to have used the ''nekodamashi'' over the years include Mainoumi, Ōtsukasa, current ''yokozuna'' Hakuhō and former ''yokozuna'' Mienoumi. ==See also== *Glossary of sumo terms 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「nekodamashi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
