Kimarite (決まり手 Kimari-te) are winning techniques in a sumo bout. For each bout in a Grand Sumo tournament (or 本場所 honbasho), a sumo referee, or gyoji, will decide and announce the the type of kimarite used by the winner. It is possible (although rare) for the judges, or shimpan to modifiy this decison later. Records of the kimarite are kept and statistical information on the prefered techinques of different rikishi (or sumo wrestlers) can be deduced easily. For example the a pie chart of the kimarite used be each sekitori in the past year can be found on the Japan Sumo Association webpage for each individual rikishi.

Currently the Japan Sumo Association recognises eighty-two types of kimarite, but only about a dozen are used regularly. For example, Yorikiri, Oshidashi and Hatakikomi are frequent methods used by rikishi to win bouts.
