The Wolf is howling now.

Mongolian yokozuna Hakuho came within one victory of etching his name in sumo's "Hall of Fame" alongside former yokozuna great Chiyonofuji on Friday with a demolition of Georgian Tochinoshin on the fifth day of the Autumn Grand Sumo Tournament on Thursday.

Hakuho was never in any real trouble as he waited patiently for the perfect moment to dispose of Tochinoshin in the day's final bout at Ryogoku Kokugikan.
