I noticed something at certain rishikis, notably Ura, Tobizaru, and to some lesser extent in Wakatakakage's style, or the manner how they fight. All are a bit different ofc. Neither are bad but they seem frequently uncertain, they don't seem to practice a particular style of sumo wrestling - neither the pushi-pushi, or the various panty-grabbing styles (I mean comparatively to other rishikis) - they seem more reactive to the opponent, they don't grab the initiative and force their style on the other. They try to pull various stunts and can change styles quick, but they aren't that good, so it's more of a luck. At the initial charge, the tachi-ai they frequently take it cautiously. They are kinda small. Japan Times has basho reports: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/basho-reports/
