Being "The Wall"
> View Morph <
Yokozuna Hakuho has been a successful bulwark against all pretenders to the ultimate rank of yokozuna by his sheer dominance of sumo;
since his promotion he has lost only 50 bouts out of 465, an extraordinary record. He has lost twice in successive basho to only a
handful of rikishi while ranked at Yokozuna. These are Asashoryu, Harumafuji (twice), Kakuryu, Kisenosato and Kotoshogiku.
Haramafuji has beaten him three times in the last three basho. This has only been done once before, by... Harumafuji. His second
achievement of this feat was in a truly epic bout on the final day of the recent Aki Basho where he completed a second
consecutive zensho yusho, increased his winning streak to 31 and sealed promotion to Yokozuna.
