===Origin===
Hariyama seems to be based on a , also known as a rikishi or sumōtori. Its bald head and long hair resemble a (a traditional hairstyle for sumo wrestlers) before it is tied into a topknot. Its two-toed feet resemble or (Japaense wooden sandals). The square flaps surrounding its midsection resemble sagari (stiff strings) that hang off a wrestler's (cloth belt). Its large hands, , and ability to learn may be a reference to harite (an open-hand strike), and its habit of stomping the ground in battle may be a reference to shiko (an exercise/ritual used to drive away spirits).
Its ability to learn and signature move may be a reference to the ritual of throwing salt before a match to purify the (wrestling ring), and its ability to learn could be a reference to the god of thunder, , who is believed to have fought in the first recorded sumo wrestle. Hariyama's behavior - attempting to derail trains with its punches, challenging larger Pokémon, and elderly Hariyama training younger Makuhita - is comparable to , a wrestler famed worldwide for his Herculean strength and 50-year win streak, who fought people much larger and older than himself from a young age, and, after retiring, threatened to stop a moving train with his bare hands in protest for free travel fees for impoverished people, and went on to train his nephew during his retirement years.
====Name origin====
Hariyama and Hariteyama may be combinations of 張り手 harite (an open-hand strike), 張り合う hariau (to compete with), 張り倒す haritaosu (to knock down), 針山 hariyama (pincushion, referring to its plump body), and 山 yama (mountain, referring to its large size).
