In professional sumo wrestling, the ceremonial ring-entering procession is called the dohyō-iri.
The dohyō-iri takes place before the bouts of the makuuchi and jūryō divisions. Wrestlers enter in rank order, wear their keshō-mawashi, and circle the dohyo while performing formal movements. The ceremony introduces the upper-division wrestlers but is separate from the individual bout that follows.
The yokozuna performs a distinct version known as the yokozuna dohyō-iri. The grand champion enters separately, wears the shimenawa, and performs a prescribed ritual with an attendant sword bearer and dew sweeper.
Dohyō-iri is often confused with shikiri, which is the preparation immediately before a bout, including the crouching and salt-throwing ritual. Kachi-koshi means a winning record, not a ceremony.
