torikumi 取組
A bout, or the list of bouts for a day.
Torikumi means a bout, and also the list of bouts for a day. The judging division sets the schedule as the tournament goes: days 1 and 2 two days before it starts, then each later day the day before. Wrestlers from the same stable never meet in regular bouts, and neither do close relatives, though they can meet in a playoff.
