The everyday list

yorikiri 寄り切り: Frontal force-out. Belt grip, walking the other man out. The most common winning move in makuuchi.
oshidashi 押し出し: Frontal push-out. Open hands on the chest or throat; no belt. The other big everyday kimarite.
hatakikomi 叩き込み: Slap down. A pull on the head or shoulder as the other man charges, so he hits the clay first.
tsukiotoshi 突き落とし: Thrust down. A sidestep and a shove that dumps him to the dirt without a clean push-out.
yoritaoshi 寄り倒し: Frontal crush-out. Yorikiri that finishes with the loser on the ground instead of just over the tawara.
uwatenage 上手投げ: Overarm throw. Outside belt grip, then a throw over that arm. Classic yotsu-zumo.
shitatenage 下手投げ: Underarm throw. Inside belt grip, thrown under that arm. The mirror of uwatenage.
oshitaoshi 押し倒し: Frontal push-down. Oshidashi that ends with the loser on the clay rather than just out.
hikiotoshi 引き落とし: Hand pull-down. Grabbing an arm or the mawashi and yanking him forward onto the dirt.
tsukidashi 突き出し: Frontal thrust-out. Consecutive thrusts to the chest or throat until he steps out.
sukuinage 掬い投げ: Beltless arm throw. Scooping under the arm and turning him without a proper mawashi grip.
kotenage 小手投げ: Armlock throw. Locking the elbow and throwing over that lock. Ugly when it lands.
uwatedashinage 上手出し投げ: Pulling overarm throw. Outside grip used to pull him forward and down rather than a full throw.
watashikomi 渡し込み: Thigh-grabbing push down. A hand behind the knee while driving forward.
tottari とったり: Arm-bar throw. Grabbing the wrist, turning it, and using that bar to dump him.
kirikaeshi 切り返し: Twisting backward knee trip. A leg inside, then a twist that puts him on his back.
fusen 不戦勝: Walkover. The opponent withdrew; the remaining wrestler is awarded the win without mounting the dohyo.

Open a musubi or a rikishi and the kimarite is already on the bout.
