Wrestler	Reason
Hakuho 白鵬	Yokozuna (grand chanpion) Mongolian

Retired in January 2009 Katayama 片山	He is known for his beautiful form of "shiko". Shiko (四股) is exercise to stamp the ground lifting his each legs as high and as straight as possible. This motion stems from the Shinto ritual to remove the negative vibes from the ground and appease the ground..
