As the New Year gets under way, Hakuho remains the man to beat after a record-breaking year in 2009.
Seeking his 13th Emperor's Cup when the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament kicks off this Sunday, sumo's dominant force will once again be asking opponents, "Who's your Daddy?" in 2010.
While fellow Mongolian yokozuna rival Asashoryu continued his struggles in and out of the ring, Hakuho wrapped up a brilliant campaign last year with 86 wins against just four losses, surpassing the record set by Asashoryu in 2005.
