Before Aki 2023
The Iron Grip
Yotsu Specialist
Power Balance Footwork Technique Spirit
5 3 2 3 2
Your rikishi is at his best when his hands have firmly grasped the mawashi of his opponent. Rikishi who specialize in this stance are often impressive in size and strength as well as skill, as yotsuzumo is the more technical and graceful of the two primary styles of sumo. But no matter how skilled a rikishi might be, he cannot get anything done on the belt without the might to overpower his opponent. Whether he prefers an inside right or inside left, there's no doubt that when a yotsu specialist gets the grip he wants, his opponent is in deep trouble. Notable yotsu specialists include Terunofuji and Tochinoshin.
The Bulldozer
Oshi Specialist
Power Balance Footwork Technique Spirit
4 2 3 2 4
Your rikishi is proficient in pushing and thrusting his hands as though they were battering rams. The oshi specialist’s goal is to shove his opponent out of the ring and if he falls on the way out, that’s on him. Rikishi who specialize in this stance are brimming with explosive force fueled by a burning soul. Although their style is traditionally viewed as less refined than yotsuzumo, oshi specialists will tell you that molding one's arms into relentless weapons of mass destruction is an artform in itself. Notable oshi specialists include Takakeisho and Tamawashi.
The Catapult
Nagete Specialist
Power Balance Footwork Technique Spirit
3 5 2 3 2
Your rikishi steps up to the dohyo with the intention of being the only one standing on it after the bout is over. No pushing, no carrying, no belt grips, no ring-outs. Tossing your opponent down hard and making them taste the dirt is the most satisfying conclusion to a bout for the nagete specialist. If the gyoji just happens to get knocked down when he doesn't get out of the way in time, well that's just a bonus for the last man standing. Rikishi who specialize in this stance are often quite big and strong, but more importantly they know how to maintain balance whilst throwing opponents, so as not to buckle or fall with them. Notable nagete specialists include Hoshoryu and Okinoumi.
The Spider
Limb Lock Specialist
Power Balance Footwork Technique Spirit
2 2 5 3 3
Your rikishi is agile and dexterous, preferring to wrap his limbs around those of his opponents’ before taking them down or out for the win. Rather than overpowering his opponent, the limb locker restricts mobility, making escape a difficult task to execute. Once a limb locker gets ahold of you, you might as well be a fly caught in the spider's web. Notable limb lock specialists include Enho and Mainoumi.
The Professor
Pulling Specialist
Power Balance Footwork Technique Spirit
2 2 3 5 3
Your rikishi focuses on manipulating the momentum of his opponents against them. This, combined with a sharp ring sense and precise timing, allow rikishi who specialize in this stance to get adversaries in prime position for a hard fall to the clay. It will almost feel like they beat themselves when, really, they were given a lesson in physics by an expert technician. Although pulling is seen as something rikishi, especially yokozuna, should avoid, it cannot be denied that sumo is a sport in which such maneuvers can be devastatingly effective. Notable pulling specialists include Kakuryu and Abi.
Custom
Power Balance Footwork Technique Spirit
Any stat line as long as the sum of all stats equals 15, no stat is below 2, and follows the rules of #Stat Line Legality
Your rikishi is whatever you want them to be. Your custom build allows you to carve your own path to Yokozuna.

Shikona

Before 08/01/23
  • Shikona (character name) changes cost 5000 Kensho for the first change and an additional 5000 Kensho for each subsequent change. For example a player wishing to change their Shikona for the third time will need to pay 15000 Kensho.

Maezumo

  • Hikarishoryu
  • Namakemono
Please refer to the #heya-recruitment-page channel for more information about each Heya and to check their current recruitment status.

Slohyo

Before Kyushu 2023
If two Rikishi cannot fight their Basho match live, they have the option of submitting a Slohyo by the deadline of a Block.
The current Slohyo forms can be found here:
If a gyoji is currently running your slohyo, please DO NOT fight any live bouts until the Slohyo is concluded!
  • This is to prevent discrepancies with Fatigue, Focus Dice, and Injuries which may occur during the Slohyo!
If assistance is needed in filling out a Slohyo form, don't be afraid to ask in #gyoji-hotline
  • If both Rikishi submit Slohyo forms, a Gyoji will manually run the match after the deadline for the current block.
  • If both Rikishi end up fighting their match live, which is always preferred, this will override any Slohyo forms submitted for that match.
  • If only one Rikishi submits a Slohyo for a match by the deadline, they will win by forfeit (Fusensho).
  • If neither Rikishi submit a Slohyo form for a match by the deadline, both will lose by forfeit (Fusenpai).
When a Slohyo is run manually by a Gyoji, sometimes the match will run past Round 2.
  • When this happens, both Rikishi will be pinged in #bout-deadlines
  • Rikishi will then have 24 hours to submit Slohyo Form Part 2.
  • If only one Rikishi submits the Part 2 form by the deadline, they will win by forfeit (Fusensho).
  • If neither Rikishi submit the Part 2 form by the deadline, both will lose by forfeit (Fusenpai).

Fusen

Before Kyushu 2023
Fusen may occur during a Basho in the following situations.
Fusensho 不戦勝 = forfeit win
  • For each match where Rikishi submits a Slohyo form by the deadline while their opponent doesn't.
  • A Fusensho is indicated with the code "F"
Fusenpai 不戦敗 = forfeit loss
  • For each match where a Rikishi does not submit a Slohyo form.
  • A Fusenpai is indicated with the code "L"
  • A certain number of Fusenpai in a row may result in Auto-Kyujo for that Rikishi.
Double Fusen
  • For each match where both Rikishi do not submit Slohyo forms by the deadline, both receive Fusenpai.
