Fighting Style
Kotonishiki was regarded as an oshi-sumo specialist, favouring tsuki (thrusting) and oshi (pushing) techniques. However, he was also capable of fighting on the mawashi or belt. Somewhat unusually, his preferred grip on the mawashi was morozashi, with both arms inside his opponent's. His most common winning kimarite was yori-kiri (force out), closely followed by oshi-dashi (push out). Together these two techniques accounted for half his victories at sekitori level. He very rarely employed throwing moves, with the exception of sukuinage, a beltless scoop throw.
