Shiranui-Gata

is a taijutsu technique used by Maki Zenin. 
== Description ==
Shiranui-Gata is a stance normally assumed by sumo wrestlers during the opening ceremony. The user assumes the stance by squatting with their head forward and arms extended outward in both directions.
== Usage ==
Maki attempted to use this technique to stop Naoya Zenin's supersonic movements. She provoked her opponent to come at her head-on, willing to withstand his attack even if it broke her ribs. However, Naoya saw through her tactics and decided not charge her straight on.
== Trivia ==
*The specific posture of Shiranui-Gata is a traditional and ceremonial pose with specific movements and gestures. Performed mostly by Yokozuna, the highest rank of a sumo wrestler, Shiranui-Gata consists of offensive moves and is said to symbolize aggression.
*The main elements of the Shiranui-Gata are as follows:
*Hands on Knees: The wrestler bends his knees slightly and places his open palms on the upper part of his knees.
**Bent Body: The upper body is slightly leaned forward with the back slightly arched.
**Head Tilt: The wrestler tilts his head downwards, often with a serene and focused expression.
**Slow Movement: The wrestler moves deliberately and slowly, with a dignified and elegant manner, maintaining a solemn atmosphere.
*The Shiranui-Gata is known for its refined and ghostly appearance, which is also derived from it's name ('Shiranui' being a term for an optical or supernatural phenomenon and 'Gata' meaning stance).
