	Encyclopedia: Rikishi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Rikishi are not normally allowed to eat breakfast and are expected to have a nap after a large lunch.
		Rikishi explained that he had three pairs of tights: his clean ones that he always washed, his tights that he sometimes washed, and his pair that were always unwashed and stayed in a plastic bag.
		Rikishi said that he “shows more than anyone” (what with his) and he said that the first time that they saw him, he could tell that they were proud of him, but a little uncomfortable.

	The Structure of Sumo
		Rikishi in the top two divisions--Makuuchi and Juryo--are called "sekitori." Sekitori are easily distinguished by their colorful mawashi (belts) and the topknot of their hair, which is fanned out into the shape of a ginkgo leaf.
		Rikishi from the top two divisions compete everyday of the tournament; whereas, the rikishi in the four lower divisions compete seven of the 15 days.
		The remaining rikishi in the Makuuchi division are all called Maegashira and are all ranked from 1 to 15 or 16 depending on their performance at the previous tournament.

	Sumo Glossary
		Rikishi rinse out their mouths with this water just before matches, during the pre-bout rituals (shikiri).
		Rikishi who receive this status become elders under the names they used in the ring, rather than taking on one of the 105 recognized names used by elders.
		Retired rikishi who have reached the makuuchi division for at least one tournament or spent twenty-five tournaments in juryo (or twenty consecutively), obtain an elder name and have Japanese citizenship are eligible to become elders.

	Rikishi
		High in the mountains of the mysterious isle of Krikta lies a remote monastery populated by immense grapplers known as rikishi.
		All rikishi possess some levels of monk, but multiclass monk/fighters are often attracted to the offensive capabilities of the class.
		Monk Abilities: Rikishi continue their training as monks, and gain unarmed attack bonus, unarmed damage, ki strike, and AC bonus according to the monk class progression in the Player's Handbook.

	ORNL APAH2000-Sumo
		The rikishi are first arbitrarily divided into east and west teams although they do not compete as teams nor is a rikishi from one team necessarily matched against one of the other.
		The remainder of the upper division rikishi or approximately a quarter of their total number are distributed among the top four grades.
		The rikishi then squat and face each other in the center of the ring, crouch forward in a "get set" position supporting themselves with their fists on the ground and proceed to glare fiercely at each other.

	OZUMO DESU! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Except for makuuchi, within each division a rikishi is ranked with that division's name, and a number representing where in that division he stands; for example, Juryo-4 (the lower the number, the higher the rank, so Juryo-1 is higher than Juryo-4).
		Each match works as follows: the two rikishi, one of whom starts on the east side of the ring and one of whom starts on the west (this is not dependent on their rankings), climb into the ring.
		Rikishi who have just entered the sport are usually in this division (except for rikishi who fought in college; if they did well enough, they can start as high as makushita).

	Virtual Sumo Manual (v1.05)
		Age is kept track of, and those rikishi over the hill (30+) have a chance of losing a point in a statistic after every basho (the older they are, the higher the chance of losing statistic points).
		With 6 rikishi, there is an initial round with 3 pairs who fight each other paring it down to 3 rikishi (same with 5 rikishi, with one rikishi getting a bye).
		Examples of rikishi who often consider retirement are Yokozuna unable to challenge for the tournament consistently, older rikishi, demoted ozeki, and rikishi struggling at the bottom of Juryo.

	SUMO COMMENTS
		The reason is that the yumitori is supposed to be done by the winner of the last match, and the Makushita rikishi's performance of yumitori is because he is doing it in the place of the winner of the last match, or representing the winner.
		Makushita rikishi are not allowed to wear Oicho hair style or kesho-mawashi in usual situation, but they are allowed to wear Oicho when they play sumo against juryo rikishi or when they perform yumitori for the winner of last match of the day.
		Since makushita rikishi could not participate Juryo dohyo-iri, even if he is about to be involved in a match against Juryo rikishi, the only time Makushita rikishi could wear kesho-mawashi is for yumitori.
