With the Emperor's Cup title already in the bag, Hakuho overpowered fellow Mongolian yokozuna Asashoryu Sunday to finish his campaign with a perfect 15-0 record at the Spring Grand Sumo Tournament.

Hakuho, who secured his career 10th victory a day earlier, claimed the title with an undefeated record for the third time.

"I feel great. I was really down on myself after losing at the New Year meet but the fans really supported me and I was able to get victory this time," Hakuho said.

Hakuho took the tournament hardware for the first time in two meets after losing in a championship playoff to Asashoryu at the New Year meet in January.
