kinjite

are various fouls that a sumo wrestler might commit that will cause him to lose the bout. They are: Striking the opponent with a closed fist. Grabbing the opponent's hair. Jabbing at the opponent's eyes or solar plexus. Simultaneously striking both of the opponent's ears with the palms. Grabbing or pulling the opponent's groin. Grabbing the opponent's throat. Kicking at the opponent's chest or waist. Bending back one or more of the opponent's fingers.

Any of these is grounds for immediate disqualification (hansoku) owing to the potential for long-lasting harm to the wrestler involved. They are exceedingly rare and unlikely to be seen in the higher divisions of sumo, especially by the sekitori wrestlers. Additionally, if a wrestler's mawashi becomes undone, they will be similarly disqualified.
